    An amazing production with really honest and valuable lyrics. Probably the best album of Taylors carreer and of course a strong candidate for AOTY.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With each track, Swift channels the quintessential story-teller qualities which have defined her multifaceted and stratospheric career - all the while encapsulating the very essences of love in its many forms. Any body of work able to transport you from love-struck romantic in a foreign land to heartbroken and desperate on the hospital room floor (see: Soon You’ll Get Better feat. Dixie Chicks) earns its place amongst the upper echelons of the music pantheon. With ‘Lover’, Taylor Swift cements herself as a legend of artistry and lyricism.… Expand

    A pop masterpiece that experiments with sounds, tunes and fantastic bridges, while exploring the varied complexity of what it means to love, to be vulnerable, to laugh and to hurt.

    This album is amazing! At first, I was unsure it was going to be good with the lead single ME!, but as she released the other songs I started to love it more and more.

    This album is the best album I have ever heard. It is so simple yet raw. The lyrics in this album indicates that miss swift is the writer of this generation. Some tracks are slow which is great and to my taste, I personally prefer some of the tracks on albums by artists, including taylor. They just stand out and I believe that that's what makes it amazing. Album of the year for me.

    This album is a masterpiece for me , its perfections never end , it’s funny the first thing everyone does when listening to taylor swift is paying attention to the lyrics and being interested in what she has for the world , she caught the attention in all of her songs , her songs have a story and purpose behind it which makes her as successful as she is today in lover .

    The production of lover was INSANE and I was totally there for it , the way she also talked about all the sides of love and the way she romanticized love is priceless , she is one of the few artists who can do this .

In Lover we can clearly see her growth as an artist and as a pop singer. This pop album is totally different from 1989 and reputation, showing how versatile and creative she can be and also how amazing she is as a songwriter — Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince really surprised me when I learned that this song is a huge metaphor for the US elections, for me this track is one of the best lyrics she has ever written, a true masterpiece. Cruel Summer is a pop perfection, even better than Blank Space. I think this song should have been the lead single. It's Nice To Have A Friend and London Boy were the two tracks that surprised me the most — in a good way. When I read the tracklist I didn't expect much from this tracks, but i loved them both so much. It's Nice To Have A Friend is different from everything she has ever made, i really loved the background vocals, the music has a really good vibe because of it, her voice is so calm and it matches the lyrics in a perfect way. I was expecting a Gorgeous 2.0 from London Boy, but when I listened to it I got addicted to the melody right away. It is a really upbeat song, the lyrics are so fun and it is catchy in a good way, since the music has a good production and good vocals. My least favorites were Paper Rings and Death By A Thousand Cuts, although they are still very good! When I listen to them I do like, but I just don't think they look so interesting in a album that has Miss Americana, Cruel Summer and Cornelia Street — It says a lot about Lover when I say my least favorite songs are still high quality!
    The only mistake Taylor Swift made about this album was the decision to have ME! as a lead single and You Need To Calm Down as a single. They don't define Lover at all, especially ME! In conclusion, Lover is one of the best she has ever made. Her vocals are perfect, the productions is amazing and the lyrics are very good. It is exactly what we needed for her since reputation.    … 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.
