    Отличный альбом, который не только подарит отличное настроение, но и позволит насладиться прекрасной лирикой

    Este album es tan BASIC y pobre, la Prada es horrible como toda las canciones

    When you listen to tracks like "False God" and "Cornelia Street" on this album, you'll know that mature Taylor has arrived, just wow!

    Absolutely loved the album, I especially loved the bubblegum pop aesthetic that it explores and the intrapersonal introspective that it illuminates. Swiftie forever.

    This album deserves aoty award. Grammys sucks anyway. Taylor worked hard on it, you might see the title and hate it but trust me every track is worth it and deserves an award LITERALLY

    Perfect, the best album in the world! It provides a meaningful insight in the life that Miss Swift is currently living. There are some raw emotional songs, and some definite pop hits!

    This is a Great Album, Taylor Swift, United Country and Pop, in a way that everything sounds Good, Romantic, Smooth, but at the same time Lively. This is due to the Order of the Tracks of the Album, It starts with a light Ballad and goes on animating throughout the Album and, obviously, like every pop album, It has Sentimental tracks, but without leaving the theme of the Album, country,This is a Great Album, Taylor Swift, United Country and Pop, in a way that everything sounds Good, Romantic, Smooth, but at the same time Lively. This is due to the Order of the Tracks of the Album, It starts with a light Ballad and goes on animating throughout the Album and, obviously, like every pop album, It has Sentimental tracks, but without leaving the theme of the Album, country, with Pop Beats, we see this Very well on tracks like Corneelia Street, and Death By a Thousand Cuts. He controlled and bypassed the visual media in his favor, to come up with a Sentimental, Romantic and Iconic Album, after a Dark Album, he managed to reach his audience with country and pop, pleasing both sides. Congratulations Taylor Swift, for the Goergous Album.… Expand

    "...

Tanto el álbum, el primer sencillo y el subsiguiente “You Need to Calm Down” -catalogado por sus propios fans como el nuevo himno de la comunidad LGTB- fueron acompañados por una fuerte campaña de promoción alrededor del mundo creando expectativas un tanto pretensiosas para lo que realmente entrega.
    Lover juega con la ambigüedad, de momentos trata de atrapar al publico mas joven con sus tonos pastel y coloridos videos, y en otros desea mostrar madurez con letras mas profundas como en “Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince”, pero vuelve a caer en la redundancia que ha venido repitiendo en sus tres trabajos anteriores, aplicando a su confiable e infalible dramatismo romántico y desesperado en Lover, “The Archer”, “London Boy”; con letras que esperaríamos de una romántica poeta adolescente y no una mujer madura y consciente en la lucha feminista. Demás esta nombrar su himno feminista “The Man”, que bien podría considerarse como una de las mayores decepciones en cuanto liricas de parte de Swift, frases como “’Cause if I was a man, Then I would Be The Man” son repetidas en torno al estribillo con una producción brillante pero desperdiciada para una canción mediocre...".

    "... La Titan el Pop conoce bien la industria, y con Lover refleja la formula que ya hemos visto en reiteradas ocasiones; si algo funciona, repítelo hasta que deje de ser rentable. Siendo la misma Swift la usual escritora y compositora, vemos un resultado que ha venido explotando desde “1989” y “Red” (su álbum crossover al género del pop), como también intentado de imitar y emular -hasta el cansancio- tal éxito pero esta vez con un logro moderado por el desgastado modelo pop pegajoso. Si bien el álbum en su totalidad muestra un desempeño agradable y resalta en cuanto a producción musical. La misma Swift sobrecarga su propio ambiente y hace de Lover... ".

    Overrated. If an unfamous female singer sings these songs, nobody knows and listens this album. A bad job

    Fantastic! It was her most cohesive body of work and I can say that I'm impressed. It take me a few listen to complete enjoy the album, but suddenly I fell in love. Every song tell's you a story and with her brilliant songwriting you are completely captivated. I love it so much that I buy a physical copy just to play every day in my car hahaha.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muito bom perfeito inovador amante perfeito sem condições pra esse álbum Eu já dei risada até a barriga doer,
    Já nadei até perder o fôlego,
    Já chorei até dormir
    E acordei com o rosto desfigurado.
    Já fiz cosquinha na minha irmã só pra ela parar de chorar,
    Já me queimei brincando com vela.
    Eu já fiz bola de chiclete e melequei todo o rosto.
    Já conversei com o espelho.
    E até já brinquei de ser bruxo.
    Já quis ser astronauta,
    Violonista, mágico, caçador e trapezista.
    Já me escondi atrás da cortina e esqueci os pés pra fora,
    Já passei trote por telefone,
    Já tomei banho de chuva,
    E acabei me viciando.
    Já roubei beijo,
    Já fiz confissões antes de dormir
    Num quarto escuro pro melhor amigo.
    Já confundi sentimentos,
    Peguei atalho errado
    E continuo andando pelo desconhecido.
    Já raspei o fundo da panela de arroz carreteiro,
    Já me cortei fazendo a barba apressado,
    Já chorei ouvindo música no ônibus.
    Já tentei esquecer algumas pessoas,
    Mas descobri que essas são as mais difíceis de se
    [esquecer.
    Já subi escondido no telhado pra tentar pegar estrelas,
    Já subi em árvore pra roubar fruta,
    Já caí da escada de bunda.
    Conheci a morte de perto,
    E agora anseio por viver cada dia.
    Já fiz juras eternas,
    Já escrevi no muro da escola,
    Já chorei sentado no chão do banheiro,
    Já fugi de casa pra sempre,
    E voltei no outro instante.
    Já saí pra caminhar sem rumo,
    Sem nada na cabeça, ouvindo estrelas.
    Já corri pra não deixar alguém chorando,
    Já fiquei sozinho no meio de mil pessoas
    Sentindo falta de uma só.
    Já vi pôr-do-sol cor-de-rosa e alaranjado,
    Já me joguei na piscina sem vontade de voltar,
    Já bebi uísque até sentir dormentes os meus lábios,
    Já olhei a cidade de cima
    E mesmo assim não encontrei meu lugar.
    Já senti medo do escuro,
    Já tremi de nervoso,
    Já quase morri de amor,
    Mas renasci novamente pro ver o sorriso de alguém [especial. Já acordei no meio da noite E fiquei com medo de levantar. Já apostei em correr descalço na rua, Já gritei de felicidade, Já roubei rosas num enorme jardim. Já me apaixonei e achei que era para sempre, Mas sempre era um "para sempre" pela metade. Já deitei na grama de madrugada E vi a Lua virar Sol, Já chorei por ver amigos partindo, Mas descobri que logo chegam novos, e a vida é mesmo um ir e vir sem razão. Foram tantas coisas feitas, Momentos fotografados pelas lentes da emoção. Guardados num baú, chamado coração. E agora um formulário me interroga, Encosta-me na parede e grita: "- Qual sua experiência?”. Essa pergunta ecoa no meu cérebro: "experiência... experiência...” Será que ser "plantador de sorrisos" é uma boa experiência? Não! ”Talvez eles não saibam ainda colher sonhos!”    … Expand

    one of the most romantic albums she's ever done... it also emphasises taylor's superiority to her fellow pop star's when it comes to her lyricism.

    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.
