    "Lover" is a one brilliant album!
    Taylor really went off with this album, compared to her 2017 record "reputation" which showed her edgier-side and fight amongst the media and the haters. This record showed the opposite; she showed growth as a person aswell as an artist, her being soooooo in-love with her current boyfriend "Joe Alwyn". This album in particular is a fun ride, with songs

    Taylor’s new album is a representation of who she is. it’s very personal and meaningful to her, (see Soon You’ll Get Better) and is very different from her last studio album, reputation. The album is a message to her fans and everyone that the snakes are gone, the dark days are over, and she finally found her own happiness.

    Every album, the sound of her songs evolve and change. It has such great lyrics. It wasn't what I expected, but I'm thankful that that was the album; it became everything I wanted it to be. It grows on you each time you listen to it. And I can't stop listening to this album. Such a great one!

    You sincerely deserve to become the album of the year, beating records. Those who say that it is not good for clear envy that their idol does not make the beauty that Queen Swift does know is because they have no musical criteria.

    Lover is amazing in absolutely everything, in his criticism, his lyrics, feelings, musical bases and blows of effect.

    Sorry not sorry.

This album is also a lyrical masterpiece which comes as no surprise seeing as its from the lyrical genius herself, Taylor Swift. With an upbeat feminist anthem “The Man” and a subtle but very political “Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince”, this album has a lot to relate to the current society. It shows how far Swift has come in her life and that she is finally standing up for things that really matters. Swift’s current outspoken stand on LGBTQ rights is also changing the world one signature at a time. With a petition addressed to President Trump and The White House to pass the Equality Act, the Pride anthem “You Need To Calm Down” has been a celebrated track among the LGBTQ community. The raw emotions of “Soon You’ll Get Better” which she dedicates to her mom who is battling cancer, will have listeners bawling. In a nutshell,
    “Lover” is truly and amazing and inspiring album, and thank you to Taylor Swift for giving us such a masterpiece.
