    Taylor Swift mais vez entregou um trabalho de qualidade. Destaque a sua composição e a produção do álbum. Um dos melhores álbuns do ano.

    Mi álbum favorito de Taylor de momento, por su producción, su acompañamiento instrumental, su variedad de sonidos, la cantidad de canciones y su orden perfecto creo que es el mejor del año.

    This album is so beautiful and angelic. Although it does have some weaker, bad tracks, it really makes up for it in the good tracks. There is generally more good tracks than bad. This album is really good and I loved it.

    The depth, the songwriting, the emotional complexity!!! Lover draws together Taylor's talent over the past 13 years to show the evolution of love and all of the strong emotions attached to it! She defines the meaning of love in 18 songs! Moving on is taught strongly in 'I Forgot That You Existed'! 'Cruel Summer' serves us the love in a quick, adrenaline-filled summer love!

Moving on is taught strongly in 'I Forgot That You Existed'! 'Cruel Summer' serves us the love in a quick, adrenaline-filled summer love! 'Lover', the title track, melts our hearts with the true love we all dream of finding. Now 'The Man' shared the very real(!) issue for women in the music industry and how if she was a man, she would be THE Man! She shares her fear for her mother Andrea and how much she needs her in 'Soon You'll Get Better'. And of course blesses us with another jam in the form of 'Paper Rings'! I personally can't not love 'London Boy' as it namedrops many of the places in the city which I love! I won't describe every song but remember... Step into the Daylight and let it go! Lover is it!! Get it/Stream it/Love(r) it!

    Lover, an album that shows Taylor's most authentic self, is a force to be reckoned with. Her lyrics, melodies, and heart are the blood, sweat, and tears to this album that contains some of her best writing in years. The title track is a timeless love song that commands the attention of the entire room; the album has the same effect. Flawless.

    Honestly one of the best albums I’ve heard in a WHILE. The album really shows how much of an amazing lyricist Taylor swift is and her maturity from 1989. Needed topics in today’s society are slightly tackled which many may not be ready to face but have to. Finally, Taylor used her so powerful voice to speak or rather sing for what she believes in and to stand up for herself. An amazingHonestly one of the best albums I’ve heard in a WHILE.

    Amazing album, not one skip in the entire set list. The User score was absolutely ruined by a certain someone’s fan base so I’m rating it a ten to up it a little bit.

    Taylor has outdone herself, as the world is used to see. The album is absolutely brilliant, and the romantic vibe will affect even the most frozen of hearts. Her songs seem to leak happiness, not leaving out her take on important issues, such as sexism in the music industry and LGBTQs rights. It's her greatest one yet, and her fans will love even more if it's also her most successful of date.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album makes you feel love, heartbreak, and longing like you’ve never even known. It makes you want to scream the lyrics from the roof of an apartment in New York City. There is nothing comparable to the feeling of hearing Swift’s deep growls in ‘Cruel Summer’ for the first time, listening to the passion and longing in her voice. The production behind each of the songs combined with the masterful lyricism from Swift is something to admire. The length of this album is fitting for this era of Swift’s life, giving us a glimpse of how she is and the things she is dealing with away from the sight of the media. This album is deserving of all the praise in the world. Congratulations.… 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.
