    Boring and lacks creativity compared to previous album Reputation. Reputation was a step in a good direction but she has just gone to a worst style.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of her best albums. the amazing upbeat songs like The Man, Cruel Summer, Paper Rings, I Think He Knows, ME!, You Need To Calm Down and more. the amazing self written songs like Cornelia Street, Lover, and Daylight. people hating on this album either don’t have taste or hate taylor bc it’s a “trend”. This album is truly good and i don’t understand why people hate on it, especially ME! because it wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously it’s meant to be a fun song to make everyone happy, just like the “spelling is fun!” lyric which they added just because they didn’t want people thinking the song was serious… Expand

    I am pretty upset tbh with how this album turned out. It was going strong with me and you need to calm down and then the archer came and I was like oh I do not like this at all and then lover came and I loved it then the album dropped.

    Swift explores the complexities of Love in her 7th studio album beautifully through sound and lyrics.

    Taylor Swift's Lover is so variant and colorful it shows how much she's grown up as a person after her 13-year-old music career.

    Mas uma obra prima na discografia da Taylor. Como sempre ela se reinventou e trouxe mais um álbum fantástico só afirmando para mim que ela e Adele são as melhores do mercado e quando se trata de fazer um álbum elas se integram. Lover é romance e história que taylor sempre quis cantar e nova e "Old" taylor juntos vai agradar qualquer um que não tenha preconceito com ela. Nota 10

    I love Lover because it represents what Taylor really believes in: love, strength, and equality. She acknowledged her role model and decided to do something about it, and by releasing the album, she empowers people to act like her: love yourself, do what you love and fight for what you want. That being a ’lover’ is how people should perfect themselves !

    Taylor Swift’s Lover shows Swift at her best yet. Lyrically, sonically, emotionally–Swift offers a complete 360 to her previous album reputation. While reputation was a persona Swift fashioned for herself, Lover shows Swift as a songwriter who is honest, in love, and showing a level of self-awareness many critics accuse her of being incapable of.

    This is definitely music to my ears. It's can be repeat itself the first time you listen to the song, it may sound the same but if you give it a second chance you will be in a whole new world full of love and emotions. Taylor put out some of the worse songs on this album as singles just to make the album full of masterpiece. That's a big reason to listen to it now!!!

    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.
