    Taylor proves once again that she is the lyricist of this generation! I’m honestly speechless, her art continues to be inspiring, relatable, touching and timeless.

    achei que LWYMMD seria o pior lead dela, porém ela lançou ME! e provou que eu estava errada.

    It's a masterpiece. The layers of lyrics and the meaning is un paralleled. The most lyrically and sonically cohesive album of taylor swift.

    Going from Reputation to Lover shows the range in which Taylor Swift can write music. So many people look for something to nitpick within her work - it’s too dark, it’s too light, to poppy, too whatever bull **** they can come up with. Fact of the matter is, she writes her own music and finds a way to prove she is more than a one trick pony.

Fact of the matter is, she writes her own music and finds a way to prove she is more than a one trick pony.

    Lover é um álbum lindo, mas ainda não me cativou como os anteriores.
    Taylor fez um lindo trabalho nesta nova obra... Sinto muito orgulho de ser fã dela e poder ver todos os feitos dessa garota que tem o coração de um anjo!

    Lover is the culmination of Taylor Swift’s story so far. It is self-referential in a non-obnoxious way. It completes storylines, it fixes past wrongs, etc. Lots of current and soon-to-be future hits, lots of incredible production from Swift, Antonoff and crew. Recommended listens: “I Think He Knows,” “Miss Americana” and “Afterglow.”

    Not just the best pop album I’ve heard in a while, the best album. Highlights being, Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince, Cornelia street, London boy, the man and soon you’ll get better.

    Lover is a perfect album in literally every way.

His production has an unquestionable quality that only Taylor Swift can do with his enormous talent in producing, composing and performing his own songs. The compositions are distributed in an organized manner based on a lyrical virtue that only a songwriter artist can afford. It is undeniable that the songs on this album are divergent from each other and at the same time, stuck together in an incredibly produced knot. With this, it can be concluded that the sound versatility of this album is what makes it perfect. Without a doubt, Taylor Swift's Lover is one of the best and most important albums of her career.… Expand

    Eu acompanho a Taylor há 5 anos, sendo "Lover" a minha terceira era com ela. Acompanhei uma das piores fases da Taylor, e por isso sei o quanto é gratificante ver ela tão feliz e com o amor que ela sempre almejou encontrar. Ela merece tudo de bom nesse mundo. Eu te amo, princesa.

    This album is amazing, Taylor brought us his country essence and didn't neglect 1989's pop perfection and Red's mixed style footprint.

    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.
