    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.

    Taylor managed to tackle so many beautiful personal elements, as well as many other important topics like gender equality, and executed it so gracefully and sonically in this iconic pop masterpiece.

    Best album by far by Taylor Swift, lyric wise, production wise, and vocal wise. I can’t stop listening. She is always rising the bar for music and it shocks me how she can always do it and not get boring. Proud of Taylor with this album.

    Swift, mais uma vez, consegue entregar um álbum coeso e genuinamente pop. Após o conturbado período da carreira evidenciado no reputation, ela consegue trazer de volta a "Old Taylor" que nós tanto amamos e admiramos! Lover é, sem dúvidas, o maior feito do ano!

    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.

    "I wanna be defined by the things that I love
    Not the things I hate
    Not the things I'm afraid of
    Or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night
    I, I just think that
    You are what you love"
    This is her best album, ever.

    It's her best album yet! It is so complex as it tackles different topics whether politically or romantically. It's production is similar to reputation, lyrics comparable to Speak Now, composed of emotional songs that may belong to Red with the vibes of 1989 and Fearless! Also, one can find beautiful anthems for feminism like 'The Man'; song for the members of the LGBTQ++ Community likeIt's her best album yet!

    The old Taylor is back, with a twist. This new era is all the turning points from her pervious "reputation" and old artworks that sets off at telling a new perspective, a new beginning. Filled with all aspects and adoration of what love is and was. A love letter to love itself, indeed it is.

    I'm freaking out with this album. Everything is sooooo wonderful. The beats are really funny and catchy and sweet. The lyrics are perfect. I can see that she's happy now after dramas in the past. This is one of the most wonderful albums of Taylor. Love it

    This album feel like a combination of her past work. It has the lyrics and emotion of Speak Now and RED with the production of 1989. Lover’s only flaw is the arrangement of the songs.

    The old Taylor never died. She reminds us why she is one of the greatest artists of a generation and why we never want her to stop creating.

    This plain sucks, it’s literally formulated pop, it’s bad, good lord I would rather listen to anything else, the fact I listened to this is embarrassing. It’s 100% pop that was generated using a formula that all big pop stars use.

    New and refreshing, this album really is a love letter to love itself, love is passion love is pain love is happiness. This album pretty much ranks first place in Taylor's discography. I love it so much

    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.
