    Lover, in my opinion, is one of Taylor’s best albums to date. She doesn’t disappoint. The most heartbreaking song on the album is “Soon You’ll Get Better” ft The Dixie Chicks. She sings about things most people would be afraid to even talk about; even amongst a few of their close friends, and yet, Taylor decided to share it with the world.

The song “Lover” is the most romantic song in my opinion. That’s definitely a song I want to play at my wedding. My favorite song on the album is “Afterglow.” Many of Taylor’s songs are extremely relatable, but this one stood out to me. She somehow always manages to take what i’m thinking or feeling, and put them into words I could never say. In conclusion, Lover has no skips and it is definitely an album i’m putting on replay for the next couple of months.… Expand

    This album was from the very beginning a completely surprise: with her controversial “reputation”, Swift proved to be the leader of the games the whole media tried to play. Exactly 2 years after her carrear changing “Look What You Made Me Do”, we get to see what’s in “The last page” she asked not to be read: a rainbow-ish and refreshing album called “Lover”. The surprise came right inThis album was from the very beginning a completely surprise: with her controversial “reputation”, Swift proved to be the leader of the games the whole media tried to play. Exactly 2 years after her carrear changing “Look What You Made Me Do”, we get to see what’s in “The last page” she asked not to be read: a rainbow-ish and refreshing album called “Lover”. The surprise came right in April, with the Brandon new song “ME!”, loved by some and uncomprehended by others. The shiny and light sound was exactly what the public did not expect from the “New Taylor”... and she knew it. Months later she released an album which would have the same feeling. The story begins with the acknowledgment of her previous drama and confusion with the sweet “I Forgot That You Existed”. With “Cruel Summer”, “Lover” and “The Archer” the songwriter proves she and Jack Antonoff are a part of the small percentage of artists who can deliver the perfect timeless pop music this decade. Following, “The Man” is the perfect happier and lightest (but not any less badass) sister of the older “I Did Something Bad”. From the sixth track, the album starts to get stronger and even better: “I Think He Knows” is some type of tribute to the hit pop songs from the last decade. “Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince” is a political song hidden between the lines of a high school drama. With the following two songs, Taylor proves to love and cherish her loved one, in the old upbeat country “Paper Rings”, showing her fear if something ever happens to their love, in the dreamy “Cornelia Street”, putting in perspective if it indeed comes true, in the angelic “Death By a Thousand Cuts”. With “London Boy”, we’re brought once again to a real (and surprisingly happy and strong) love. In “Soon You’ll Get Better”, Swift shows us a new love we haven’t heard since “The Best Day”, from her sophomore album: in both she tells us about how much she loves her best friend, her mother, but in the new song she admits her fears and desperation for her mother’s cancer, being a difficult one to listen to in a normal basis because of how raw and real it is. In “False God” Taylor surprises us with a sexy slow jazz and in “Afterglow” the surprise is in how she begs to not be left, talking about, in both, how real her love is because of their problems and inability to do it right all the time. “It’s Nice To Have a Friend” is definitely an underrated one: maybe it’s because of the way she chooses to sing about finding (finally) a friendship in a romantic commitment, with kids choirs in the background and a delicate trumpet leading our story. For the ending, Taylor decides to admits she is living what she always dreamed with, in a “Daylight”, full of happiness and a love, not only with her lover, but with her family, with her fans and, most importantly, herself.
    We come in conclusion that “Lover” is another sonically and lyrically masterpiece in the collection of the one of the greatest artists of all music industry. The different but cohesive sounds put together makes sense and fall right into place in this beautiful and real album, ready to be a part of the rest of our lives. You’re very welcomed, Lover...    … Expand

    One of Taylor's most mature and developed album to date. The lyrics are so complex and beautifully self-written that you can even see yourself living her life like it's yours. There's not a bad song or a skip above all 18 tracks.

    An abysmal Album experience. Her songwriting has been on a downslide since Red, Lover was an overly long slog and many songs felt the same. I have little desire to return to any of the tracks.
    Both the production and lyrics were lacking but it's at least better than reputation, so she has that going for her.

This album is not only about love between two people, it;s also about self-love, self-worth in a relationship, the up & down between two lovers but somehow they still fight it up to stay with one another. She always outdid herself.
    You might not like her as a person or might not like her music, but your "her music is all the same" argument is INVALID. Her growth as an artist is very impressive.    … Expand

    The new album by Taylor Swift might be her most mature work up until now. She is ready to take over the music industry once again and what better way than releasing the album of the year?

    Um albúm totalmente diferente de tudo que a taylor já fez,um albúm pessoal e muito gostoso de se ouvir. Eu diria que o Lover é a versão apaixonada do reputation,com uma pitada mais madura e apaixonante do Red e o 1989,simplesmente perfeito!

    A masterfully written album filled with so many layers of commentary, such complexity, both social and personal through the metaphor of Love. Taylor’s most personal pop album by far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lover is a great pop album. It exudes hapiness, joy and emotion. It exudes hapiness, joy and emotion. I loved 1989, but going into the pop sound she went with the 2014 album, I believe she sacrificed lyrics a bit, whereas in lover I think she paid closer attention to them. However, in my opinion, the album is too long, I believe with 15 songs the message would have equally come across, but I can spot just a few filler moments on here, "It's Nice to Have a Friend" and "London Boy" would be my least favourite tracks. However, in lover, Swift delivered some of her best material. When Taylor and Jack Antonoff team up they create pop magic, like in Cruel summer, a perfectly crafted 80's synthpop bop, or The Archer, with a really nice dreamy vibe and minimal incredible production. Great effort.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lover is a feel good album, it has such a happy and positive vibe to it that just makes you want to fall in love. The lyrics on Lover are sickening, this is one of her best albums lyrically, the bridges on Lover are all incredible and are so well written and Taylor wrote every song on this album alone or with minimal help, showcasing her true talent in the songwriting field. All of the songs are single worthy,with this album having a lot of upbeat, positive and fun songs that make you want to dance. The beats and melody’s on this album are so catchy and perfect for pop music. In my opinion this is my personal favourite album from taylor since it has the lyrical content of Speak Now, the pure emotion of Red, the pop anthems like 1989, and the storytelling she is so well know for. Some of my favourite tracks are ‘Miss Americana & The HeartBreak Prince’, ‘London Boy’, ‘Afterglow’ and ‘Cruel Summer’. Although I love them all!… Expand

    The album shows all the sides of love - complexity, passion, fear, coziness and so much more. The production is on point, Taylor's voice is at its peak. The lyrics are brilliant like always. From happy songs like "ME!" to sadder and more complex-ed songs like "Soon You'll Get Better".
    This album is phenomenal, revolutionary and evolutionary.

    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.
