    Álbum mais linear da Taylor. Tem sim seus pontos positivos e tudo mais, porém boa parte de suas faixas são completamente descartáveis e parecem ser requentadas do 1989. Obviamente, muito melhor que o reputation (aliás, qual álbum não é superior a esse?). Lover tem músicas parecidas e sem nenhum impacto e também músicas que não passam a proposta do álbum que era para ser uma dura críticaÁlbum mais linear da Taylor. Tem sim seus pontos positivos e tudo mais, porém boa parte de suas faixas são completamente descartáveis e parecem ser requentadas do 1989. Obviamente, muito melhor que o reputation (aliás, qual álbum não é superior a esse?). Lover tem músicas parecidas e sem nenhum impacto e também músicas que não passam a proposta do álbum que era para ser uma dura crítica sobre os seus altos e baixos e sobre o universo perverso da internet. Nesse Álbum Taylor Swift aposta também em um indie grotesco e com letras repetitivas... Umas faixas até impossíveis de ouvir depois de 2 minutos completos. Para um álbum que ia ressuscitar o seu country sofisticado e com letras complexas, Lover é apenas um passatempo para alguém que quer limpar a casa e ouvir algo. Expand

    Lover is a sigh of relief after a profoundly heavy era. Romantic and fun, Swift brings smoothness to melodies so that we seem to be dancing in the stars crying to the sound of lyrics that make us dream.

    Surprisingly, I really liked the content of this album, and the concept follows through the beginning till the end. It's also cohesive and lyrically good.
    I'd dare to say this is one of her best works.

    simplesmente perfeito, com certeza um dos melhores trabalhos dela, conseguiu o destronar o speak now do meu coração e olha que isso foi dificil. enfim, parece que o 1989 teve um filho com o speak now e nasceu essa obra prima com melodias contagiantes, letras sensacionais que transpiram sentimentos.

    É uma mistura dos três melhores álbuns dela (RED, REP e 1989) mas ainda sim possui uma característica nova e autêntica, tanto nas composições quanto no conceito. Com certeza o segundo melhor álbum da carreira dela (RED sendo o primeiro).

    Lover is definitely the best pop album that’s been released in the past few years. Swift has proved once again what an exceptional and eloquent songwriter she is.

    Lover is like a pink path, full of both happy and sad moments where you find love. Having 18 songs in my opinion is a great alternative, because that allows us to build a love story with everyone, friends, their mother, haters and swifties. It is definitely the album of the year, each song is great and unique with different sounds and great lyrics. I love you taylor.

This is an album that has to be read and listened as a poem. You will never be able to appreciate Taylor’s works if if you don’t pay attention to the lyrics, the rhymes and letters sounds. She was never famous for having a powerful voice, but her low notes are the best thing you could possibly hear in a song. The way she writes (words and sounds) and tells you a story is unique. She’s the best at creating a concept for an album. The title “Lover” is perfect. She describes love in every possible way: love for you true love, love for a past relationship, love for your mother and family, love for your friend, love for you country and love for yourself. In conclusion I would like to add that she wrote the best song of her entire career: Daylight. Please listen to it all. This is THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR. Thanks Taylor for being always in our minds and hearts. Love from Italy.
    Ps: come here for a concert please ;)

    With a bubblegum lead single, she was saving her finest sonically cohesive and lyrically masterpiece synth-pop songs alongside with the traces of country music. This is an another dimension of pop music that will surely be remembered for ages. If her last album 'reputation' wasn't nominated for album of the uear, she surely does secure the spot with this album, this year. Surely.

    It's nice to see Taylor back to make fun upbeat songs again after have no idea how to execute edginess in music correctly on mediocre Reputation album. While it's a definite pop album, there a few tracks here that should pleases her fans who missed country music from her.

    This album is almost perfect. From start to finish, it offers head-banging beats, vivid lyricism, and a medley of discussed issues. Singles ME and YNTCD do not do this album justice. In fact, ME is the only song that is somewhat “skippable” on this 18 track album. It truly is impeccable. I recommend Cornelia St, The Man, and False God with the highest regard.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is a refreshing version of Taylor Swift's public narrative. She takes responsibility for things, looking at the ups and downs of the past years of her life while also remaining authentically Taylor Swift with the shade we love. Songs like Cruel Summer, The Man and Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince are the driving force of the album, however, some songs are almost too sugary sweet and can only be listened to a few times before you're tired of it like London Boy and You Need To Calm Down.

    Overall, it is a good album with strong lyricism, relatability and positive light. It would have received a higher score if there was just a touch more honesty and less of a view with rose coloured glasses.

    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.
