    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With 18 tracks full of pure feelings and stories we fully immerse ourselves in those melody and especially the lyrics, which she has been long famous for. I love track 15 the most, it is Afterglow and I also love Lover. The title track makes me wanna have a boyfriend immediately.… Expand

    Awesome! This album is so diverse...Taylor captured her early album's essence and brought new airs to this compilation.

    the depth of her songwriting skills are unbelievable. she somehow finds a way to put everyone’s feelings into her own lyrics making all of her music relatable, but Lover is her most relatable album yet. her vulnerability, honesty, and attention to detail is unmatched. she truly is the songwriter of our generation.

    Amazing album. Upbeat songs like I Think He Knows and You Need To Calm Down if you want to dance... emotional songs like Cornelia Street and Soon You'll Get Better if that's your vibe. Lover, the track, is one of her best songs.

    I am extremely sorry to Taylor Swift, but as former swifty I must say this is the worst album of 2019. I hope she gets better and put out actual music instead of children’s music.

    This album is a new horizon. It shows me that Taylor is now very happy with her "London boy", which makes me super excited...no more drama now everyone !!!

    I have the full album on repeat for days and there's no word to describe how excellent the album is. Lover is just something that saves the whole 2019 music industry! Hope for at least a grammy!

    I'm a Taylor Swift fan. Lover, Cruel Summer, Death by a Thousand Cuts & Afterglow are my top choices. The rest are not as strong as these mentions but they're also great.

    This is the most Taylor Swift album, because it's the first one that's 100% her's. She owns not only the masters but also for the first time she owns the love story.
    This album once and for all establishes Taylor Swift as one of the greatest song writers ever. Period.

    Taylor Swift's songwriting skills sets her apart from her contemporaries and it is especially showcased on this album. She stays relevant by changing her sound but never changing the quality of her lyrics. Lover will make you dance, cry, laugh, and think about life. Good job, Taylor!

    This album will exceed all your expectations for a pop album. Taylor freaking Swift never fails to deliver the very best music, from "I Forgot that You Existed" to "Daylight", all I can say is PERFECTION.

Taylor freaking Swift never fails to deliver the very best music, from "I Forgot that You Existed" to "Daylight", all I can say is PERFECTION. It digs out all of your uncovered emotions and feelings you never knew you had. You can be heartbroken even when you are perfectly happy as of the moment and you can express love and all that warm fuzzy feelings even if you are not in love, that is how powerful this album is. "Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
    With every guitar string scar on my hand
    I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
    My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
    All's well that ends well to end up with you
    Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
    And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
    And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover"

    Can you bbelieve this breathtakingly beautiful lyrics? I cried the first time I heard this song (Lover) and I swear you will feel all other emotions while listening to the rest of the song in the album.

    AGAIN. This album will exceed all your expectations for a pop album.    … Expand

    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.
