    Taylor's best album to date without question. The production has set the bar for all other artists and her lyricism has reached a new level completely in awe of how she created such a lyrically enhanced 18 track album in such a relatively short space of time. Taylor has truly outdone herself yet again

    This album is a masterpiece that represents love in all its forms. Album of the year, without a doubt. For someone who’s not a fan therefore haven’t listened but are curious, I’d recommend ‘Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince’, ‘Cruel Summer’, ‘Afterglow’ and ‘The Man’.

    What I like about this album is that you can feel it. You can grasp what she's trying to convey without spoonfeeding because she takes us on a rollercoaster ride of words with her lyrics. This album is the golden epitome of that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. She ones again showed why she's the queen of pop (and country) and why she has such a big following. Fresh pop sounds and guitar rifs, all sprinkled with excellent lyrics. Just a step above the other pop girls of this generation. It's what we expected from her but also so much more. She will never change, but she will never be the same either. Pop history. Expand

    The best album of her carrier, excellent vocals and lyrics. “False God” and “Cruel Summer” as powerful songs.

    Cohesive and lyrically sharp. She keeps proving that she the best song writer of her generation, and that's why her fans keep coming back for more. No one writes bridges the way Taylor do. One of her best work!

    The album is deep and sweet, but some songs are tiring to listen complete. Taylor it's absolutely one of the most big names in industry today. Great job, but not perfect.

    Her best album since Red. A rollercoaster of emotions. Amazing lyrics (as usual with her) and delightful production. Props to Jack Antonoff once again, lately I'm always finding him in my fav albums.
    Taylor is saving pop music

    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.
