    A phenomenal album. I love it so much, there's no weak link on this album every song is beautifully crafted. 18 tracks so once I get to the end of the album I'm ready to listen again. Cannot wait to be screaming these songs at the next tour, and to add this to my collection of favourite songs.

    On of the best albums to ever exist along with every other Taylor Swift album.
    Every single song is perfect or is a masterpiece!
    I just love this album so much! My top 4 from the album are: The Archer, Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince, Death By A Thousand Cuts and Daylight.

    Love the album. I have been listening to it on loop since it came out. 1989 has been one of my favourite album of all times, no one could’ve topped that. I guess lover did.

    Easily her best album. A salute to love in all its forms. It’s raw and emotional, and it takes a power stance on topics that need the light shone on them. Taylor Swift continuously puts in the maximum amount of effort into creating the greatest music and lyrics of any artist of her time.

    When I had listen to it first time, I remember thinking "If I pray, try and listen Lover enough, then maybe I'll love it as much as reputation" *Insert image of me five minutes after dancing with wilder dance move than Tay in my living room to paper rings* If you didn't like Lover first time listening to it then give it a second chance. Lover is cutest and sweetest album ever.

    Amazing album. Upbeat songs like I Think He Knows and You Need To Calm Down if you want to dance... emotional songs like Cornelia Street and Soon You'll Get Better if that's your vibe. Lover, the track, is one of her best songs.

    Taylor Swift's songwriting skills sets her apart from her contemporaries and it is especially showcased on this album. She stays relevant by changing her sound but never changing the quality of her lyrics. Lover will make you dance, cry, laugh, and think about life. Good job, Taylor!

    I cannot say this is my favorite album but I can say this is arguably one of her best yet! It’s sonically cohesive and has lyrical depth. It’s a marriage between 1989’s vibe and Red’s impeccable lyricism. It’s also the first time she’s ever been political with tracks like The Man, YNTCD, and MAATHP. She proved that she can write about love just as well as she can write about heartbreak.I cannot say this is my favorite album but I can say this is arguably one of her best yet!

    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.
