    It appears to be just a little bit iconic to me. A legend in our community... I think she's a queen ❤

    I like tay a lot. But this album is not her best work. The album miss some spice over all. it is to much of the same or things we heard before of her. Im a little disapointed to be honest. Its not a bad album. There are great lyrics on the songs written. but overall I give it an O! K!. Sorry guys. Maybe if I hear it more I going to like it a bit better.

    Álbum perfeito! Coerente, coeso e direto. Enfim um sucessor a altura do RED e 1989 em questão de composição e melodia.

    the album has a total of 0 skips and is also a love letter to her career of 13 years. beautiful, relatable and raw lyrics. great collabs and an unexpected appearence of annie clark in cruel summer marks how different and mature this album is. may jack antonoff be her songwriting partner for life.

    There's a little bit of everything Taylor Swift has done from her past albums: from her roots in country pop until her current electropop phase. She remained one of the best songwriters of all time, even though some cringey lyrics were unavoidable. She's taken out some lyrics too, but it didn't make up.

    Another thing that's wrong is in the production, or to be detailed, it's in the mastering. The unsteadiness of audio levels in several songs made one technical flaw, and it's fatal. Even her late project 1989 that considered a loud album executed it better.

    Frankly, her songwriting and the production didn't intertwine faultlessly.    … Expand

    Her best album to date. PERIOD! No other pop album comes close this year. Grammy AOTY material.

    Wow! Lover is really the WORST album of the decade along with Reputation and 1989. and her fans have the audacity to come for other artists artistry.
    and she did all that payola, promo and 4 deluxe versions for this garbage..imagine being this desperate for charts and sales, only Taylor Swift can relate.

    Taylor Swift proves yet again that she is the master of both writing and singing. The album has 18 tracks, what is more than she ever did, but all are hits and bops. To jump to, scream along with, or just sit and listen in your empty room. There is something love for all kinds of love on Lover. There is something for everyone with this new record.

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This album is perfection. No straight white man should be able to review this album because this was not made for them and they will never understand that

    This album is just so pure and amazing. It showcases every aspect of any relationship. It’s sad in some parts, upbeat and joyful in others. Another hit from Miss Swift

    A little bit of synth pop/new wave, a little bit of country. But the whole album is full of watered down song of those genres or i might say bland commercial pop

    POP PERFECTION!!! This album didn't disappoint. She brought back classic pop or 90s/00s pop. The energy and emotions she put in singing every songs are on point. I love the lyrics and I love how she tells her story through wonderful songs. This is the pop version of RED, but more about love instead of heartbreaks. The production is also excellent. I'll give it a 10.

    Impeccable work!! From the lyrics,to the production,to the melodies, to the vocals! Everything is perfect! Even though its 62 minutes long it doesn’t feel like it is, the songs are cohesive and they flow together pretty well!! She did : THAT!

    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.
