    A brilliant album. This one probably the best in Taylor’s discography. It has it all. Imagery. Different emotional palette. Different sides of love.

    Lover is her best album, talks about complexity of Love. Parental love with her tear jerker song ‘Soon You’ll Get Better’ featuring Dixie Chicks. Ms. Taylor brought her country roots again. Of course her song about cancel culture, women empowerment and Equality Act ‘You Need To Calm Down’ is here. ‘ME!’ her lead single that shocks many it’s new tone and tackles Self-Love it’s Brendon UrieLover is her best album, talks about complexity of Love.

Swift was right that this is the best option you’ll get. … Expand

    Honestly, as a swiftie, this is undoubtedly one of her best albums, haters will hate because they LOVE jumping on the ‘Taylor Swift bandwagon of hate’ but if you really understand and respect music, this is a really heartfelt exploration of intense love, politics, equality, sadness and friendship.

    Taylor Swift has once again proved to the world that she's one of the best songwriters of this generation! Lover's songs are filled with metaphors - subtle yet hitting hard - implying that her songwriting is definitely unique and magical like a storyteller's. It's her best album and best era yet! An inlove Taylor Swift surely is better than brokenhearted Taylor Swift.

    Though Lana Del Rey, my personal favorite, is getting many backlash from fellow Taylor Swift fans, I am here not to hate on Taylor Swift, but to applaud her newest album, Lover. Pertaining to the issue with Taylor Swift’s ex record label, Lover does not focus on Taylor’s past relationships, but simply focuses on herself, and how she is also a good person, behind all the dramatic songsThough Lana Del Rey, my personal favorite, is getting many backlash from fellow Taylor Swift fans, I am here not to hate on Taylor Swift, but to applaud her newest album, Lover. Pertaining to the issue with Taylor Swift’s ex record label, Lover does not focus on Taylor’s past relationships, but simply focuses on herself, and how she is also a good person, behind all the dramatic songs about her exes. This album focuses on Swift’s personality and how she is not just one or the other, but that she can also be herself as Taylor Swift. The upbeat tone and colors of this new album marks a new beginning for Taylor Swift as she embarks on this new music journey.… Expand

    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

    "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!

    This album shows how brilliant of a songwriter Taylor is and includes 18 masterpieces because there’s not a single skip here. It also features the best way to start and end an album. Daylight is just.... beautiful masterpiece really. Congratulations to Taylor are in order as she has outdone herself again.

    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.
