    Her best album yet. Lover shows off her creativity and talent. She is an incredible lyricist and this album truly tells a story from start to finish. Well done, Tay.

    "Lover" is a one brilliant album!
    Taylor really went off with this album, compared to her 2017 record "reputation" which showed her edgier-side and fight amongst the media and the haters. This record showed the opposite; she showed growth as a person aswell as an artist, her being soooooo in-love with her current boyfriend "Joe Alwyn". This album in particular is a fun ride, with songs    "Lover" is a one brilliant album!

    Taylor’s new album is a representation of who she is. it’s very personal and meaningful to her, (see Soon You’ll Get Better) and is very different from her last studio album, reputation. The album is a message to her fans and everyone that the snakes are gone, the dark days are over, and she finally found her own happiness.

    She’s done it again!!! Swift is known for her amazing albums and this does just that. This album is sonically cohesive and an amazing production. This is Swift’s best album yet and deserves to be claimed that way.

    Every album, the sound of her songs evolve and change. It has such great lyrics. It wasn't what I expected, but I'm thankful that that was the album; it became everything I wanted it to be. It grows on you each time you listen to it. And I can't stop listening to this album. Such a great one!

    You sincerely deserve to become the album of the year, beating records. Those who say that it is not good for clear envy that their idol does not make the beauty that Queen Swift does know is because they have no musical criteria.

    Lover is amazing in absolutely everything, in his criticism, his lyrics, feelings, musical bases and blows of effect.

    Sorry not sorry.

    This album is the perfect example of what it means to be an honest song writer - Taylor writes in a way that makes you feel like you lived through every lyric she's singing about, and in a way she's never done before.

    This album is a lyrical masterpiece. She sings of true love and heartbreak on the same record. In "Lover" Taylor Swift bares her soul, and tells the love story of her and current boyfriend of three years, Joe Alwin, through several songs. You can find both meaningless pop music (ME! Ft. Brendon Urie) as well as 60's inspired pop (Paper Rings) and of course, the love ballad (Lover). This isThis album is a lyrical masterpiece. She sings of true love and heartbreak on the same record.

    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.
