    The whole album is just perfect! I simply can't pick one that I like the most because every single song is flawless and has its own way that makes me fall in love with. "Soon you'll get better" made me feel as if I was going to cry actually. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for your songs Taylor. I love you sooo much!

    This Album is probably the best album of Taylor Swift. From the lyrics itself, it defines how music can be both magical and influencing for the listeners (specially to her fans).

    Lover combines the production of 1989 and reputation, along with the lyricism of RED and emotions of Speak Now, to deliver a stunningly brilliant album that cohesively manages to touch on love in a multifaceted way. Swift's strengths shine on this album, making it perhaps one of her best, encapsulating every aspect listeners have adored her for.

    Lover is Taylor Swift’s finest artistic hour since 2012’s Red, and probably her second-best overall (again, behind her crossover masterpiece). Vocally refreshing, consistent in lyrical quality, sonically cohesive, and deftly produced, Lover is the closest pop music could get to art in this decade of musical decline.

    This album shows Taylor Swift’s strengths - her being a lyrical genius and a great storyteller. Every song in Lover is unique as it is. Collectively, the album gives its listeners a rollercoaster of emotions. This is Ms. Swift’s happiest album yet - looking forward for more materials like this, a refresh from her stereotyped heartbreak songs.

    Music industry. 18 tracks served here are a ride. We have the pleasant ‘Lover’, the self-reflective ‘Daylight’, the throwback anthemed ‘Paper Rings’. She discusses politics and blind patriotism in ‘Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Price’ in such a clever way, by incorporating Cheerleading elements.

    such a let down. Going from an era which was all about becoming a bad girl and changing and letting go of the old Taylor, and then she goes and makes the most bubble gum pop, pink and girly era she has ever had which takes all sincerity and realness out of Reputation and showing it was completely orchestrated and not honest or sincere at all.

    This album is written by someone who is no longer looking for love, who has really found love. The color of this album is nothing but romantic. It explores different aspects of love and emotional. Taylor Swift has grown so much as a person and as an artist. Excellent album

    This is far the best of her work for me. I love every single track of the album. Promotion is just like 1989. Hoping to break some records. Fighting!

    13 years before and now Taylor Swift has been consistent and with Lover she has added another proof to the statement of being a songwriting savant. Well written, well sung and well produced, a must listen album. Give it a try. You are going to go on a rollercoster of romance to happiness to saddness and will love it.

    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.
