    I was disappointed by the first single, so I expected a bubblegum pop album with poor lyrics. It turned out I was wrong: songs like Cornelia Street, Soon You’ll Get Better and Daylight perfectly convey the emotion and atmosphere of the album, but with more maturity than the previous ones,as it should be. On the other hand, there are the typical joyful and colored songs she used us to, butI was disappointed by the first single, so I expected a bubblegum pop album with poor lyrics.

    It's my favourite Swift's album. The songs are thought-provoking and touching. How could it not be 10?

    Lover is indeed about love and its complexity, chaotic, cuteness and everything. Each track is very different from one another. Taylor Swift, known for her writing skill, describe the love explicitly define all its form. 18 songs feel so short yet complete. Cornelia Street, Afterglow and Daylight is a must listen from the album.

    Includes a range of emotions that will make you cry and laugh and rebel. Everyone should listen to this album because, guaranteed they'll find at least one song they'll have a connection with, whether you're looking for a slow paced ballad, an upbeat bopped a heart wrenching masterpiece

    Taylor’s ability to completely renovate her sound but still sound exactly like herself is a true testament to how good of a songwriter she is. Lover is a warmly welcomed addition to Taylor’s log of diary entries, maybe her best one yet.

    This album is juicy, this sounds beautiful
    It’s a risky move for Taylor to make another diverse album since Red didn’t win any Grammys. This album is still unique and different than her previous works and this is the best lyrically

    This album is almost perfect. From start to finish, it offers head-banging beats, vivid lyricism, and a medley of discussed issues. Singles ME and YNTCD do not do this album justice. In fact, ME is the only song that is somewhat “skippable” on this 18 track album. It truly is impeccable. I recommend Cornelia St, The Man, and False God with the highest regard.

    Best Taylor Swift album. Would never expect how it sounds based on the released singles. It's not that long, too short actually (Guardian id sh*t).

    It's very refreshing and just a good vibe. It really makes every person just to dance with it. Every track has been lyrically genius and the melody just suites with it really well.

    This is Taylor’s BEST album! It is a strong pop album that will make you feel every emotion. One second you’re happy then in love and then crying then repeat. This is the type of album everyone can relate to. Taylor has out done herself with this masterpiece.

    It's nice to see Taylor back to make fun upbeat songs again after have no idea how to execute edginess in music correctly on mediocre Reputation album. While it's a definite pop album, there a few tracks here that should pleases her fans who missed country music from her.

    Favorite tracks: The Archer, Lover, and Cornellia Street.

    Álbum mais linear da Taylor. Tem sim seus pontos positivos e tudo mais, porém boa parte de suas faixas são completamente descartáveis e parecem ser requentadas do 1989. Obviamente, muito melhor que o reputation (aliás, qual álbum não é superior a esse?). Lover tem músicas parecidas e sem nenhum impacto e também músicas que não passam a proposta do álbum que era para ser uma dura críticaÁlbum mais linear da Taylor.

Obviamente, muito melhor que o reputation (aliás, qual álbum não é superior a esse?). Lover tem músicas parecidas e sem nenhum impacto e também músicas que não passam a proposta do álbum que era para ser uma dura crítica sobre os seus altos e baixos e sobre o universo perverso da internet. Nesse Álbum Taylor Swift aposta também em um indie grotesco e com letras repetitivas... Umas faixas até impossíveis de ouvir depois de 2 minutos completos. Para um álbum que ia ressuscitar o seu country sofisticado e com letras complexas, Lover é apenas um passatempo para alguém que quer limpar a casa e ouvir algo.… 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.
