    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love taylor and I’m big fan of her music but I expected much more than this , since 1989 taylor seems to try to sell rather than make good music I’d like to bring back the taylor who made RED Or at least 1989… Expand

    Taylor Swift’s Lover shows Swift at her best yet. Lyrically, sonically, emotionally–Swift offers a complete 360 to her previous album reputation. While reputation was a persona Swift fashioned for herself, Lover shows Swift as a songwriter who is honest, in love, and showing a level of self-awareness many critics accuse her of being incapable of.

    Absolute masterpiece of an album both sonically and lyrically. Taylor Swift continues to outdo herself with each album and Lover is no exception.

    This is definitely music to my ears. It's can be repeat itself the first time you listen to the song, it may sound the same but if you give it a second chance you will be in a whole new world full of love and emotions. Taylor put out some of the worse songs on this album as singles just to make the album full of masterpiece. That's a big reason to listen to it now!!!

    This album...honestly...is beautiful. Sonically cohesive, full of beautiful melodies and catchy hooks. It's a throwback with a twist, with all the amazing lyricism that Swifties crave from Taylor coupled up with some timeless classics like Lover and Soon You'll Get Better. It's a sprinkle of the old Taylor all wrapped up and topped with a giant bow of happiness. If the hooks don't reel youThis album...honestly...is beautiful. Sonically cohesive, full of beautiful melodies and catchy hooks. It's a throwback with a twist, with all the amazing lyricism that Swifties crave from Taylor coupled up with some timeless classics like Lover and Soon You'll Get Better. It's a sprinkle of the old Taylor all wrapped up and topped with a giant bow of happiness. If the hooks don't reel you in just wait for the bridges because they will lead you to the magical land of love. This album oozes happiness and that is tapered with some bittersweet tunes that explore the fear of losing that happiness. If you enjoyed her albums Red and Speak Now, then Lover is right up your alley. It's a gentle echo of what those albums were hoping and striving for with the satisfaction of finding that true love she fantasizes about yet never truly knew until now. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be playing on repeat for a while. This album will undoubtedly go down as one of her most iconic and timeless.… Expand

    Mas uma obra prima na discografia da Taylor. Como sempre ela se reinventou e trouxe mais um álbum fantástico só afirmando para mim que ela e Adele são as melhores do mercado e quando se trata de fazer um álbum elas se integram. Lover é romance e história que taylor sempre quis cantar e nova e "Old" taylor juntos vai agradar qualquer um que não tenha preconceito com ela. Nota 10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of her best albums. the amazing upbeat songs like The Man, Cruel Summer, Paper Rings, I Think He Knows, ME!, You Need To Calm Down and more. the amazing self written songs like Cornelia Street, Lover, and Daylight. people hating on this album either don’t have taste or hate taylor bc it’s a “trend”. This album is truly good and i don’t understand why people hate on it, especially ME! because it wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously it’s meant to be a fun song to make everyone happy, just like the “spelling is fun!” lyric which they added just because they didn’t want people thinking the song was serious… Expand

    Boring and lacks creativity compared to previous album Reputation. Reputation was a step in a good direction but she has just gone to a worst style.

    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.
