    Best tracks: Lover, Afterglow, Soon You’ll Get Better, Paper Rings, I Forgot that You Existed, It’s Nice to Have a Friend Good tracks: The Man, Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince, London Boy, Cornelia Street, Death By a Thousand Cuts
    Fair/“worst” tracks: Daylight, ME!, You Need to Calm Down, I Think He Knows, The Archer, False God
    Please note: Even T-Swift’s quote “worst” tracks    Best tracks: Lover, Afterglow, Soon You’ll Get Better, Paper Rings, I Forgot that You Existed, It’s Nice to Have a Friend Good tracks: The Man, Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince, London Boy, Cornelia Street, Death By a Thousand Cuts
    Fair/“worst” tracks: Daylight, ME!, You Need to Calm Down, I Think He Knows, The Archer, False God

    Please note: Even T-Swift’s quote “worst” tracks outshine and inevitably outsell other artists’ BEST tracks. Most of the tracks listed as the worst on this album were singles and/or promotional tracks that have been overplayed and are lacking compared to the gems later found on this album. Moreover, this is one of the best releases of the year, and climbing the ranks of her best albums to date. A very solid 9/10.    … Expand

    não tenho palavras pra esse álbum maravilhoso, é incrível como a Taylor consegue se destacar e se diferenciar na mídia quando tudo o que está fazendo sucesso nos charts é genérico e repetitivo.

    This album is one of the most personal albums for Taylor. As she had said, she has opened her diary metaphorically but in this time she did it literally. Is an album full of love but involves all the types of love. Since the love for your partner to the love for your mom and friends. It's captivating how she tells every story with a well balanced and thoughtful rhythm.

    A great album, musically, lyrically and aesthetically . I think it has "Taylor Swift" album's spontaneity, "Fearless" 's evolution, "Speak Now" 's lyrics, "Red" 's emotions "1989" 's production and "Reputation" 's growth Has a beautiful message My favorite tracks are Daylight and Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince

    Lover is a combination of old and new Taylor. It’s her best album to date, better than Red in my opinion! This is an album with NO SKIPS, every track is unique and catchy

    Lover is a mixed bag. There are songs for various musical tastes, guaranteeing everyone will like at least one or two tracks of this wat-too-long project. Still, considering this is Swift's seventh album of her 15 year career, one would expect her sound to be a bit more divergent of her 1989/ Red eras. Her songwriting in some tracks is incredibly good, showing to everyone why she is theLover is a mixed bag.

    this is what you get when your fanbase is toxic. this album is nothing more but a piece of crap, and the fact that swifties are scared of Lana's talent really makes you think about their fanbase (dumb and childish)

    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.
