    Absolutely stunning album! Beautiful lyrics, cohesive sounds and such great messages! More than thrilled to live in an era where pop music was saved again and again by Ms. Swift. Those zero-haters should be ashamed.

    This album is just PERFECT. You can listen to it with no skips. Lover has upbeat, slower, happy, sad songs and every single one of them are special and defferent from each other but at the same time they all have something in common, the nice beat and the amazing songwriting!!! That’s the album that not many artists make.

    This album is INCREDIBLE. Every song is so beautifully written, and most of them she wrote by herself. That’s what I call talent. From the upbeat melodies of Cruel Summer to the eerie chorus of It’s Nice To Have A Friend, to the Nostalgic yet beautiful lyrics and ethereal echoes of Daylight. Obsessed

    Lover is what would happen if 1989 aged like fine wine for years. It’s mature, honest, catchy, and innovative. The production hasn’t been this good since 1989, and it’s definitely the best production yet. Some must listens are Cruel Summer, False God, Afterglow, Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, and The Man. How will she top this? All we know is that Miss Swift ALWAYS delivers.

    Lover is a beautiful album, filled with emotion and heart. It is Taylor’s best work thus far (in my opinion). You can truly feel how she was feeling in each song, from Lover, to Death By A Thousand Cuts, to Soon You’ll Get Better. I smiled, I cried, my heart broke, and I felt hopeful listening to this album for the first time and every time after. This album is truly a masterpiece.

    Literally better than sliced bread. Swift’s lyrics are unparalleled in the world of pop music and she refuses to water down her ingenuity for the sake of a chart topping record--because she can get there without sacrificing what she’s time and time again proven to be the best in the industry at.

    This album is truly a wondrous concoction of love in all its complexity and chaos (in the words of Taylor Swift). We have both light and heavy subject matters showcased in the songs presented in this album, and she once again displays her diversity in speaking out in different topics though veiled in metaphors and symbols that perhaps others may not pick up on or understand. My favouriteThis album is truly a wondrous concoction of love in all its complexity and chaos (in the words of Taylor Swift). We have both light and heavy subject matters showcased in the songs presented in this album, and she once again displays her diversity in speaking out in different topics though veiled in metaphors and symbols that perhaps others may not pick up on or understand. My favourite tracks off this album are mostly all of it, but notably I absolutely adore Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, for its genius way of speaking about politics in a high school setting that is relatable to almost anyone. I love Cruel Summer for its exquisite production and how the lyrics portray a story that highlights the internal struggle of liking someone you cannot have so fantastically. The Man, for the lyrics that most women can echo and resonate with, and Taylor Swift is definitely qualified to speak on this as she has been subjected to, as she has said, the different vocabulary given to men and women in any industry. Soon You’ll Get Better is heart-wrenchingly raw. Daylight draws parallels from her previous albums and incorporates the lessons she has learned in a touching melody. All in all, her songwriting in this one completely stabs your heart into a million pieces with one song then glues it back together again with another. For me, this album is amazing. songwriting, production, vocals.… Expand

    Lover is the wise, mature, strong love child of 1989 and RED. It takes the strongest features of the two albums, pushes it together and adds a little something extra to it, making it unique. Taylor managed to showcase her range of musical genres from songs that sound jazzy, to straight up early 2000s pop.

    Her most sincere and happy album is here and it’s a masterpiece! Not any main pop girls can compare their songwriting skills with miss Taylor Swift

    A good transition album from the reputation era of Ms. Taylor Swift. From the experimental and dark atmosphere of the previous album, Lover is giving us another of light and love. The songwriting and and the production is a good combo for this album.

    As someone who absolute loves Taylor and all her album, and as someone who has said speak now is her favourite album for the last 8 years, I can confidently say lover is Taylor’s best album of all time, and will go down in history as one of the greatest albums ever.

    With her seventh studio album, Swift sheds her “reputation” snake persona and blossoms into a new era of her pop career based on love and romanticism. Upon first listen, it is abundantly clear that Swift is enjoying life and still falling in love with the music industry, although some songs feel out of place sonically. Repeat listens will yield different results, as Swift has created herWith her seventh studio album, Swift sheds her “reputation” snake persona and blossoms into a new era of her pop career based on love and romanticism. Upon first listen, it is abundantly clear that Swift is enjoying life and still falling in love with the music industry, although some songs feel out of place sonically. Repeat listens will yield different results, as Swift has created her own sonic universe in which she placed “Lover.” The desperate shouts of “Cruel Summer” are not what you would expect to precede the dream-like sound of the album’s title track, yet you could not think of a different way for them to be. From the self-awareness in “Afterglow” to the upbeat declaration of love in “Paper Rings” to the smooth beat of “Cornelia Street” you think they’d have almost nothing in common, yet they are emotionally cohesive as you can tell each and every song in the 18-track catalogue is a labor of love from none other than Swift herself. 13 years into her career, she has yet to disappoint her millions of fans, and Lover is no exception. Swift brings her heart to the table, and it is evidently clear throughout this album. Pop music at its finest.… Expand

    It’s an album that screams out for an editor, but when it hits the right notes, it demonstrates just why Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

    Ultimately, Lover is overstuffed and meandering, but serves as a positive reprieve from her past struggles in the public eye, and represents an artist at the peak of her creativity, power, and—one hopes—continued romantic bliss.

    Lover is a fabulous record, full of super-fun standout pop hits that make your heart burst. It oozes with Swift’s much more palatable upbeat sass. She’s in love and also thinking about different kinds of love.
