    The best Taylor Swift’s album so far. So well done, the lyrics are completely amazing, talking about her experiences with sexism in industry, how it’s like being a woman in the musical industry, her experiences about being completely in love with an amazing guy, her experience with cancer, that her mom had years ago. She’s everything the other singers aren’t, she’s everything the musicalThe best Taylor Swift’s album so far. So well done, the lyrics are completely amazing, talking about her experiences with sexism in industry, how it’s like being a woman in the musical industry, her experiences about being completely in love with an amazing guy, her experience with cancer, that her mom had years ago. She’s everything the other singers aren’t, she’s everything the musical industry needs. She’s an inspiration to boys and girls at all ages. There is and always will be a Taylor Swift in the world. Her light is magical. She’s beautiful inside and out. And anyone who listens to her songs, can notice that, she puts so much effort and so much of her emotions on her songs. Just like she did in this album. It’s a masterpiece, we all have to listen to it and see it by ourselves. Do it and you will never forget about it. Go tay tay… Expand

    Girl you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all, and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal. Girl you make me so proud, and I love you.

    Taylor lo volvió a hacer, ARTE y más ARTE. 10/10 en definitivo, la mejor del álbum siempre será "London Boy".

    Taylor’s most cohesive/relatable album to date. This album makes you want to be in love, it reminds you of the feeling when you first discovered love. It reminds you that love isn’t perfect and that’s part of love. Lover is the perfect love letter to love itself.

    The album is a total celebration and shows love in all its forms. in this album shows an evolved Taylor compared to her previous album Reputation. The only bad thing I find to the album is that in some moments it is repetitive and this due to the length of it.

    She is the single greatest artist this planet has ever known, somehow she has topped her already incredible discography with this new album and it is beyond any human comprehension as to how she does this; she is the only entity in this universe that can truly be regarded as 'perfection'.

    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.

    Just beautiful. The Guardian ranked Lover with 60 because "it's too long"... I'm speechless. They also ranked an album (better than Lover) made by a male with 20 tracks with a higher rank than Lover. They didn't even called the album "too long." Men privilege. This isn't fair.

    "I forgot that you existed" is the perfect transition from her reputation era to the new one."Cruel Summer" brings out the Rockstar in her. "Lover" the title track will be a timeless classic and is already a wedding anthem. "The man" calls out allowed the sexist ways media has differentiated her. "The Archer" could bring the tears in anybody's eyes. "I think he knows" is a bop.

"The Archer" could bring the tears in anybody's eyes. "I think he knows" is a bop. "Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince"proves once again that she is the queen of protest songs. "Paper rings" is a single worthy song. "Cornelia Street" creates nostalgia about the street in anyone who hears it. "Death by a thousand cuts" is one of the most unique heartbreak songs she has ever written. "London boy" is one of those happy love songs. "Soon you'll get better" is one of the most relatable songs. "False god" sounds the most different sonically from every other song. "Afterglow" spits out so much positive energy. "It's nice to have a friend" literally benifits a community of young musicians. "Daylight" is the perfect ending for such a positive album like the name itself.… Expand

    This album is arguably her best one! The lyrics are really interesting and relatable. Ignoring the clues she plants in her lyrics makes the album so much more enjoyable. Each song has its own value and meaning and is different. For me, the standouts are Cruel Summer, Lover, The Man, I Think He Knows, Miss Americana , Paper Rings, Cornelia Street and London Boy.

    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.
