    "Lover" makes us travel in an extraordinary dreamy world, full of color, sweetness, maturity, beauty, hope and, of course, love. It is Swift's most cohesive work to date, the 18 tracks have each a history to tell and a lot of emotions to be felt, the 1 hour experience passes in a blink of an eye.

    That was one of Swift's best debuts, I'm very proud to be a fan of a great and renowned artist, the compositions on her sixth album are magnificent, grand and charming. Taylor proved to be a spectacular artist and although her debut single wasn't one of the best choices, her album was perfect. Thank So Much! I Love You

    Lover is certainly one of her bests albums to date, if not the best one. Each song has a different feeling or vibe yet the sound and themes are cohesive from track to track. It has a lot of variety: we can find sad, happy, strong, cute, calm and sexy songs. The lyrics fit Lover's vibrant and deep aura perfectly. What else could we have expected from someone like Taylor Swift. An great album.

    you’d think 18 songs would make for a lengthy album but in reality this album is an accumulation of unique songs that make every single listen well worth it. 10/10 songwriting (especially on the self written) 10/10 vocals and 10/10 production.

    The definition of pop perfection. Swift does it once again and proves that she’s the best at what she does, some people love her, other hate her but there’s no doubt that this album takes her to a whole new level of greatness and, every single song is a hit, Thanks Taylor Swift for proving there’s still hope for pop music.

    To be honest, after hearing ME! I was nervous about the album. The song was good but it wasn't what i was expecting. After YNTCD, I was like alright yaas, a political and fun bop that needed to be sung and then the Archer was released and i was hit with nostalgia and the feels because it sounded like the "old Taylor" and i really needed that song because i was going through something.

And then we heard Lover; a masterpiece upon first listen. She tops every song she releases but with the album, everything connects and even the song you think you didn't like sounds bomb as hell next to others. Lover is a no skip album and her best work to date. We were expecting a bubblegum pop album with no substance but this album is so far from that. With this album, she changed what we associate with her name. This album is beyond a single genre.… Expand

    A very cohesive album, where Taylor explores vocal techniques like falsetto in chorus, shows her feelings smartly and with well-placed lyrics as usual with Taylor Swift.

    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.
