    She brought back what made “1989” one of the greatest albums of this decade, and to make it even better, the lyrics are “Red” quality. Fans are not disappointed and general public will enjoy just as much!

    This album was captivating from start to finish. Taylor has brought pop back and added her own spin to it and it works. Some of her best work is on the album.

    É um evento! Lover é um acontecimento pop e um marco na carreira da Taylor. Um album maduro, apaixonante, baladas, retro, lágrimas... único e apaixonante!

    This is such a unique sound. With all pop songs sounding the same these days this album isn’t that. It’s different from all the rest, but in a really good way! This is one of Taylor’s best albums if not the best out of all of them!

    Lover is by far taylor swift best album to date it's refreshing and it's sound brand new, with Daylight and Cruel Summer as the highlight of the album, it's deserve yet cohesive, she finally found her serenity and her words in Lover it's so wise and very carefully written and there's a confidence even in the most depressing song

    This album has succesfully made me happy. Lover is that kind of album you go to whenever you're having a bad day and in need of a boost. Definitely this is one of her best work. Every songs sound special and Taylor never fails in telling stories so beautifully. Overall, I adore this album and I feel the need to share it to everyone I know.

    Beautiful, personal, cohesive, the natural sucessor of Red, a simply masterpiece. Miss Americana ROTY, Cornelia Street SOTY, Cruel Summer best pop performance, Soon You'll Get Better Best Country Collab

    This album is great. I was always a bigger fan of her country sound lyrics. As a fan i mildly enjoyed 1989 & rep, but wasn't in love. This is a perfect culmination of her previous bodies of work. AMAZING

    I love the album! there friends just heard the lover and say without a doubt that the album is perfect the only thing i found is that he has a lot of songs but i read the taylor letter explaining why and it totally fit the concept of the album - linear sound from start to finish, wonderful

    I have listened to Taylor Swift’s most recent body of work titled “Lover” multiple times now. It is release day and I stayed up very late to hear the album. Miss Swift always serves a good album. She has never disappointed. Going into lover I expected to LOVE it but I didn’t expect it to become my favorite album. My (now previous) favorite album of all time is by Taylor. Red is a musicalI have listened to Taylor Swift’s most recent body of work titled “Lover” multiple times now. It is release day and I stayed up very late to hear the album. Miss Swift always serves a good album. She has never disappointed. Going into lover I expected to LOVE it but I didn’t expect it to become my favorite album. My (now previous) favorite album of all time is by Taylor. Red is a musical masterpiece with so many layers that I thought could never be topped but here we are with Lover. The album starts with a fun, summery, smart, shady... but also not shady track called “I Forgot You Existed”. Swift’s previous album reputation was very dark and hard hitting. I Forgot You Existed was the perfect track to start the album. It remind me of the subtle shade we had on reputation with the fun tones that are present on Lover. I’m not going to directly mention every song but tracks two and three need to be discussed. Track two is a BANGER called “Cruel Summer”. It has a killer chorus and a killer bridge. It’s production is like being slapped in the face by your favorite celebrity (that’s a good thing, like I would pay Taylor to slap me). Track three is a genius track called “The Man” where Swift talks about how she would be treated/seen in the industry/media if she was a male, not a female. It has such smart lyrics and a hard hitting bridge. The production is fun and reputation like. Soon You’ll Get Better, The Archer, and Lover are beautiful ballads. Swift shines on upbeat bops like Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince, London Boy, I Think He Knows, and more. A song that really stood out to me is Paper Rings. It has an indie rock vibe that I am obsessed with. Cornelia Street is Delicate’s (a single from Reputation) cousin. It has sweet, beautiful, and just pure pop perfection. False God is so smooth and just divine. Afterglow is a rush of pop magic. That is the only way I can describe it. You Need To Calm Down, one of the pre-release singles, showed Taylor speak up on things she cared about. It is such a fun song. But the meaning is so important. Taylor ends the album with a song called Daylight. Daylight is the perfect album closer. It is sweet, magical, and features a speaking part at the end to close the album that came from liner notes in her Red album. Listening to Lover is an EXPERIENCE. I have never heard an album like this. It’s pure pop perfection. It deserves a 10/10. Taylor really knows how to serve a great album. This album further solidifies Taylor as the modern queen of pop, no other girlie does it like her. Bravo. Just wow. Perfection.… Expand

    Amazing album! It's great produced and has some pretty enchanting lyrics. Taylor is showing us that now she is more mature and still very talented after years of career. The topics she talks about, like politics and sexism, are such good ways to aware people of what's happening nowadays!

    Too long, so a lot of the songs are unnecessary. Also they all kinda sound the same and since they're bad, that's a terrible thing to happen.

    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.
