    It's Amazing!
    All the songs are perfect. There's no skips in this album. There's a lot of complexity about the writing and the production.

Y The Man es la canción que todos los feministas estábamos esperando, se describe muy bien lo que Taylor pasa y sin importar eso, ella sigue triunfando y saliendo adelante. Es una maravilla de álbum.

    Maravilhoso sinto q seja um dos melhores álbuns dela e dos últimos anos, um pop puro de qualidade sem influências de trap ou hip Hop na intenção de conseguir #1.

    The album Lover can be, in its essence, one of the best albums of Taylor Swift's career, surpassing, right away, the quality of the previous one, Reputation.

    The album is an extremely solid effort. The songwriting is simply superb while showing deviation from her previous works as a synthesis of sort. It embraces maturity while staying true to her persona as a musician.

    Amazing! Her best work yet.

    I mean she wrote a song about a "High School" to talk about the disillusioned state of politics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Acompanho a carreira da Taylor desde a era Red, lembro quando a primeiras vez que eu a conheci foi quando assisti o clipe de tour da música Fearless na MTV e eu fiquei apaixonado pela música e sua tradução. E desde então decidi acompanhar-la. Ver o quanto a Taylor evoluiu desde a era RED, passando pelo Icônico 1989, depois pela era Dark Reputation e chegando agora na era Lover, é realmente incrível.
    Um álbum bem coerente, com composições marcantes como: Daylight, Cruel Summer e Cornélia Street. Esse álbum está incrível, com composições impecáveis e as batidas bem anos 80/90. Simplesmente amei, Swift realmente nos trouxe algo inovador e dessa vez gritando ao mundo sobre o seu grande amor.    … Expand

    In my opinion, this is her best work so far. To me, it has good lyrics and good pop production. It's like if Red were a pop album. Well maybe it's a bit too long and has a few filler tracks here and there (that i think are good, they are enjoyable but not really that great), however i think it's a very solid album.

    Taylor's best album since RED. Although I did not like the first two singles, the album really suprised me. I love Cruel Summer, Miss Americana, False God, Afterglow and Daylight. I highly recommend listening to False God at night. The rest are all grower. I find myself sometimes sing along Paper Ring and London Boy,... even ME! I like it better when it was placed in the whole album.

    Touching lyrics. Best one since Red. This is the happy, grown-up Taylor. She's experimenting many genres in this album, I like that. She proofs that she is still in the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Her most mature, yet her most romantic work. Lover, Daylight and Paper Rings are typical Swift songs, romantic, well written and easy to relate to. On the other hand, it is with songs such as The Man and Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince that she arrives in a different place in her career, using her platform to talk about things that matter the most in our society trough the most delicate poetry. Overall, it is an outstanding album, by far her best work in pop music. Despite having 18 songs, the album is so beautiful that it just feels like it’s not enough!… 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.
