    Lover is a masterpiece! There is not a single bad song on this entire 18-track album. Taylor continues to raise the bar higher for artists in this generation. I've loved seeing Taylor Swift write and sing about trying to find love and dreaming about her fairytale romance and now in Lover finally finding that true love. It's amazing to see her come so far and be so incredibly happy. ThisLover is a masterpiece! There is not a single bad song on this entire 18-track album.

    perfection is the word to describe the album of the millennium. When you go through the whole album, you'll realize how much she's in love. Every song is different, every song have a story, every song is so personal and the album have beautiful lyrics!!

    This is no doubt Taylor Swift's best album. It is ventures to all parts of love, the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad. When she said the album was a love letter to love itself, you could clearly hear that throughout the album. Whether it is true love in the song "Lover," same-sex love in "You Need To Calm Down," or self love in the song "daylight," it is all covered.

    Taylor is one of the rare artists of our generation that constantly and consistently delivers quality with every project. And what is even more rare, while she is always unapologetically and intrinsically the Taylor we know, her artistic growth is almost unmatched among her peers.

And what is even more rare, while she is always unapologetically and intrinsically the Taylor we know, her artistic growth is almost unmatched among her peers. With this album she once again goes through rebirth or as she herself said once, "I follow every zig with a zag. I don’t try to necessarily outdo myself, I just try to do something slightly different."

    As a long-time Swift fan I can say that this album, probably more than any other before, displays her maturing process brilliantly and that can be seen in her lyrics, sounds, as well as the themes she covers throughout this album. Never has she been so introspective, aware and open about her flaws and how they have affected her life and relationships. Some songs cut so deep that they make the listener feel almost called out, because let's face it, who can't relate to screw-ups and all the ways they've affected our lives? Even two lead singles that have gotten mixed reviews, and it should be noted that Swift has developed a habit of releasing polarizing singles - at this point it seems like she enjoys deceiving public with her first releases, sound so much better and purposeful in the context of the album as a body of work.

    There's so much more that can be said for this album, after all - it is 18 songs long and there is a lot to unpack. So make some time and give this album a proper listen. Or two. Or five. Because this album is well worth spending time on.    … Expand

    Lover is a reminder to always love first, and to not care who is watching. Lover is the album of the year, possibly of the decade.

    The queen has done it again. This may just be her best album. It’s so sonically and lyrically complex and it seems like every time that I listen to it, I pick up on things I previously missed that make me love the album even more. Such a beautiful, emotional, and fun ride of an album. No one does it like the queen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll just say it. I really dislike the new Taylor swift album lover. My mom taught me to not use the word hate... First off the album is too long. The entire first half sounds the same with no pace change until we get to soon you’ll get better. The opening song I forgot that you existed is a recycled version of this is why we can’t have nice things. With undertones of every other song on reputation. The next half of the album is getaway car with worse lyrics/bridges/choruses. The beautiful song she wrote for her mother is arranged in the exact same way Ronan was. The man lyrics are awful. All of the lyrics pretty much are. I would rate this album 0/10 and will probably never listen to it again. There is no growth here. There are hints of moments. The archer explores themes of a relationship but some of the lyrics in that song pretty much ruin it. “Cut off my nose just to spite my face” anyways I’ve seen virtually no criticisms of this album so here’s my take.… Expand

    This album is absolutely groundbreaking, the lyricism and production is incredible. Every song tells a personal story and each are very different in their own way. I absolutely love what Taylor stands for. She has grown so much as an artist and I am so incredibly proud of her. She is absolutely killing the game and saving pop music.

    A true masterclass in songwriting and production, not unexpected from the greatest songwriter of this generation and possibly all time or the powerhouse duo that is Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff.

    Lover parece mesclar a Taylor no country antigamente e hj no pop. O álbum parece ser tudo que ela queria fazer desde que pisou no mundo pop. Mas acho que não é tão grandioso quanto 1989. Mas é uma briga boa entre Lover e Rep pra ver quem tem a melhor Taylor.

In comparison to the older albums in her catalog, there’s a marked growth, increased clarity, and more depth in her song writing, which is undeniably her greatest asset and among the best of today’s pop stars. But it’s not just her relationship with Joe that she discusses – Swift mentions how this album is a “love letter to love itself”. From discussing the topic of parental love and heartbreak over a parent’s experience with cancer (‘Track 12: Soon You’ll Get Better’), to calling out the lack of love and support Swift, and all the women out there, receive because of their gender (‘Track 4: The Man’), to even criticizing all that has been engendered by Trump’s America, albeit via a metaphor of a high school (‘Track 7: Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince’), Swift has once again proven why she is The Pop Queen and is a force to be reckoned with. Simply put, ‘Lover’ is an upgraded version of ‘Red’ in terms of its themes, ‘Speak Now’ in terms of its songwriting, and ‘1989’ in terms of its production. ‘Lover’ is one of Swift’s greatest decisions in her 13-year career.… Expand

I am scared, genuinely fearful, for Swift's next album; it will shatter every universal limit I once thought existed and flip our entire reality upside down by its sheer power and excellence.

    At first listening to the whole album, Lover, it confused me a little. Some of the songs didn’t sound like they belonged together, but then after listening to it again and again, I started to realize why the album sounded the way it did. Taylor wrote this album about Love - love is a very complex emotion - therefore her album reflects that. This album is a masterpiece of brilliance.

    This plain sucks, it’s literally formulated pop, it’s bad, good lord I would rather listen to anything else, the fact I listened to this is embarrassing. It’s 100% pop that was generated using a formula that all big pop stars use.

    From the lyrical details to the sonic nuances, Swift has left nothing overseen in this album. By far her most mature record, Swift masterfully outlines a love that feels true and authentic.

    Um sucessor, em grande parte, mais maduro que o antecessor 1989, com algumas características do reputation. Um dos melhores álbuns pop do ano.

    Easily the best release of this year. She uses her beautifully detailed song-writing and metaphors to tell a really complex story throughout the whole project, and the use of musicality and production is jaw-dropping and grabs your attention immediately. I enjoyed ever minute of this record. Album of the year for sure!

    One of her best albums to date, her starting out with I forgot you existed was such a badass move to all the people she talked about in reputation, not a single in the whole album, and then hearing daylight it's such a good end to an album, step into the daylight and let it go

    A pure work of art. Each song has a focus on not just love's ups and downs but all types of relationships. From "The Man" to "Soon You'll Get Better" to "Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince" Taylor's lyrical genius along with collaborations with producers makes this her best album yet.

    Every song on Lover has a different story to tell but it still feels unified and connected and I think that's my favorite part about it. Bringing together different emotions on love, on hopefulness, on heartbreak, and on letting go and somehow tying them up together to make this masterpiece of an album. 15 years later and Taylor Swift continues to express everyone's feelings better thanEvery song on Lover has a different story to tell but it still feels unified and connected and I think that's my favorite part about it.

    Taylor Swift is just a queen, she's made of GOLDEN, even more than RED. So, I think that in the first impression of the album was kinda OK, but the full body of work is amazing. THE BEST SONGWRITER OF MY GENERATION!!

    I love how this album explores a range of love in its various forms. Every song is a different experience. There are songs that tug at your heart, songs that make you want to dance away the night, and songs put you at ease. Don't be disillusioned by the singles, this is an essential Taylor Swift album to listen to.

    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.
