    Taylor's best album till date. This album completely describes the feeling of being in love. Hence the name Lover. It's a very well written album of hers. From beginning to the end, you go through a roller coaster ride of various emotions. The production of this album is A+.

    This album is the perfection, it makes u feel all forms of love, and it is an incredible masterpiece, with slow songs and upbeat, wedding songs, jam and non stop crying ones.
    Swift has done an incredible job.
    and I just love all the references to the color blue which reminds me of the love of my life, the lover I love soo much.

    One of her bests. A discography standout on writing and production—on catalogs of hers and the entire industry. By no means a perfect album, but Swift makes it up by finally stepping into the daylight and letting her past mistakes and heartbreaks go.

    This album is incredible. Taylor has poured her heart and soul into these songs which she finally owns herself. This album will change the way you think about love and put you through so many different emotions especially with Soon You'll Get Better, a heartfelt song about her mum being sick. Beautiful album with so many favourites

    A masterpiece... captures feelings of pure love, of being your worst enemy, of betrayal, of lust. She finds her political voice and proves she truly is the songwriter of our generation.

Each song has its own value and meaning and is different. For me, the standouts are Cruel Summer, Lover, The Man, I Think He Knows, Miss Americana , Paper Rings, Cornelia Street and London Boy.

    I have never felt attached to the lyrics in her past songs as much as I am to this whole album. It's beautifully written and produced and her voice is just so magically different in terms of tone. Almost like you can hear how happy she actually is and I just love that. My only thing is that the song ME! definitely does not fit the album. Other than that, I love it!

    If you loved 1989 and love some of Taylor Swift’s classics you will absolutely love this album. Cruel Summer and The Man are some of Taylor Swift’s best work. I’ve listened to this album more than 10 times entirely and haven’t had the need to skip any songs. If you haven’t listened to Lover yet, I strongly recommend you do.

    there’s nothing to say, it is one of her best works. It is lyrically deep and finally the political Taylor has come out. I like to say that this album is a mix of the best of 1989 and reputation, it has the light of 1989 e the marvelous elettropop sound of reputation.

    Lover is Taylor Swift’s ultimate masterpiece. Going back to 1989 pop she not only manages to explore with new sounds (“It’s Nice To Have a Friend”) but she also reminisces to old Taylor tracks (“Paper Rings”)

    A stunning album. Full of raw emotion and stadium raising bangers, Lover is a perfect angle at all the facets of romance, friendship and family bonds. Album highlights - Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince (using high school metaphors to critique the American patriotism and political scene in current times), Cruel Summer and Lover.

    Taylor Swift never seems to drop the ball. Lover is her most mature album to date so far but still shows she’s having fun. With the production, themes, lyrics and vocals, it turns this into a wonderful piece of art with songs almost already becoming classics such as the title track ‘Lover’.

    I'm sure a lot of us were nervous about how the album would sound but Taylor being Taylor, proved us wrong and made us know who's the older and this generation's songwriter and artist. The only person who is on her level in terms of album quality is probably Adele. She always one ups herself in everything she does and you see that constantly in Lover.

    I personally think it's her best work and one of the hest albums in a while. Boxing this album in just the pop genre does this album criminal. It's not too poppy and it's not too sad, it's a perfect mix. This album shows Taylor Swift at her best, nothing used to draw attention to it but the happiness she feels and it radiates in this album. Even with the sad tracks it still leaves room for hope.

    This album is fierce, authentic, and matured. It only shows how powerful Taylor is through her lyrics and melody. The production is excellent. Each track rides you in a roller-coaster. What an amazing experience. ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

    This album is amazing and shows who she truly is. If you checked the lyrics, you will know how a person loved would look like.

    this album is the best album of taylor so far PERIODT. the lyrics are on point, so is the production. the lyrics have the red vibe, while the production has that 90s synth pop of 1989. this album is truly a love letter, so romantic and soft yet so empowering. not only does taylor talk about her lover in this album but she also talks about the haters, politics, her support for the LGBTthis album is the best album of taylor so far PERIODT. the lyrics are on point, so is the production. the lyrics have the red vibe, while the production has that 90s synth pop of 1989. this album is truly a love letter, so romantic and soft yet so empowering. not only does taylor talk about her lover in this album but she also talks about the haters, politics, her support for the LGBT community, feminism, etc. i personally love the song miss americana and the heartbreak prince, which you can understand the meaning of it in 2 ways - first is the high school love she had at the age of 16 and second is her political views on american government (she shades all the white men in the republican party including donald trump). the song has both excellent lyrics and production. and of course we can't miss the man in which she shades leonardo dicarpio when she talks about double standards. the album has so many highlights with a lot of bops that are potential to be hits and emotional songs that make you cry like soon you'll get better which was dedicated to taylor's cancer-suffering mom. lover's ending track - daylight can't be better and more perfect. "you are what you love," taylor said in the outro the song, creates a beautiful ending for the album. this album is definitely a must-listen and one of the best albums of the year (hope it'll get a grammy cause it deserves)
    thank you taylor. gurl you slay. again. like you always do.
    thank you jack antonoff, joel little, st.vincent and all the people featuring on this album

    score: 8.9/10
    fav tracks: miss amercana and the heartbreak prince, the man, daylight, false god, the archer
    least fav track: me! (this song is unnecessary), you need to calm down (i love this song so much but it just don't have the connection with other songs, it basically doesn't have the vibe), death by a thousand cuts (taylor could do so much better with this song just saying)    … Expand

    I've been a Swiftie since the beginning and I can proudly say that this is her best album. It's full of so many amazing, beautiful and moving songs. Zero skips. Taylor continues to amaze me album after album and the fact that everyday it's breaking more and more records is outstanding. Please listen to Lover.

    A great pop album in this generation. Fresh, bright and timeless. Her songwriting shined the most in Lover and the production everything are well produced. Taylor always creating an album that better than her previous works and thats a fact.

    A combination of the emotional maturity and confidence she had in Reputation, the emotional depth of Red, the catchy 80s inspired production of 1989, the brilliant storytelling from Speak Now, and the lyrical throwback in feeling of Fearless and her debut album.

    With this album it feels like Taylor is holding back, and that is detrimental to the overall theme of the record, Nonentheless there are great tracks, such as False God and Cruel Summer, that should have been singles instead of the atrocious and childish Me- exclamative point.

    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.
