    This is just a perfect album, and that is honestly no exaggeration. On Lover, Swift seems to have fully found her strengths as a songwriter and artist. With all the glitzy 80s pop perfection if 2014’s “1989” merged with the deep, meaningful singer-songwriter lyricism of 2012’s “RED”, “Lover” is the perfect pop album in 2019.

    Lover is Taylor Swift at her very best. Low points are her two lead singles, ME! and You Need to Calm Down. Her sonically best album.

    Emotional, vulnerable, poetical, incredible! I was afraid about the concept, but now I'm positively surprised.

    Topped off with filler indeed, but the good outweighs the bad quite nicely. And even the worser songs have an affable sense of genuine exclusivity. Yet the number of "banger" radio ready hits closely rivals Red, and suchly represents the album as a whole.

    Best album yet! Can’t believe she continues to produce this high level content album after album. Album of the Year Grammy or BUST!

    Lover es muy diferente a lo que ha sacado, la composición de las letras son algo característico de Taylor Swift y en este álbum lo hace notar, es una montaña de emociones con cada canción, al igual que un homenaje tanto al amor como a ella misma.

    Album do ano, falo isso com tranquilidade.
    Músicas incríveis, ótimas composições.. Enfim, Taylor Swift provou de A+B o pq merece o titulo de rainha do pop.
    Se vc não gostou, ouça novamente, pois provavelmente escutou de forma errada.

    This is probably my favorite Taylor Swift album EVER! It includes so many different genres and sounds. From country to jazz... False God is my new favorite song!.

False God is my new favorite song!. It is cohesive in all its shapes, sounds and vocals (THE CHORUS!!). You probably won’t like it the first time you listen to it but please do it more than once. 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.

    When Me!, YNTCD came out I have very low expectations for the album. When the archer was released I was like ew... it's was lyrically better but I am still disappointed. But the rest of the album starting from Lover just blew my mind. I loved it so freaking much. It's one of my favorite albums ever.

    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.
