    Taylor Swift spreads her wings in this new piece. The production is superb, the lyrical content is excellent. She tackles subject such as sexism, heartbreak, love, and fear of losing a lover. I rate it a 10 because every track is great. There are no fillers and the sounds are diverse. No one track sounds the same.

    I love this album so much, because it evokes me at the beginning of my adolescence with very good and catchy sounds, in addition to a very heartbreaking lyrics.
    This album is simply successful.

    An incredible blend of Taylor’s songwriting ability. Within an hour you want to dance, cry and call your mom. An album that makes you feel nostalgic for the past and hopeful for the future, and excitied about the prospects of finding your very own Lover

    She has definitely grown into a mature, cohesive artist from reputation. This album proves that she can be as colorful and fun from the dark and anguish reputation album concept. Her songwriting is something else. Her stories & feelings are well written and well put out on this album.

I'm glad I listened to it on the first release (Re: The last time, when reputation was released, I didn't liked it on the first listen) because I think it is one of the most dedicated & sweetest pop albums to ever come out this millenium. Lover, I think is too short for a Swiftie like me but still, this is Taylor Swift's most old and new (the transition from Country to Pop) Taylor Swift album since 1989. It's a gift for hopeless romantics, singles & most importantly, lovers. My top tracks: False Gid, The Man, Cornelia Street, The Archer, I Forgot That You Existed, Death By A Thousand Cuts.… Expand

    One of her best albums, full of sad and happy songs. I’m glad she is trying new tunes and melodies and her vocals have developed a lot. Im also glad she decided to embrace the streaming department. She seems to be doing great

    At first I though Lover would be a bad album of Taylor Swift because of the song ME!. But when I fuly listened to it yesterday, I realized that I was totally wrong. Best album ever

    Amazing. Lyrically, this is Swift at some of her finest. She sounds fully matured here, but loses none of what made her youthful tunes so entrancing and relatable. It's a pop masterpiece.

    She's done it again! While I absolutely loved Reputation and her BDE on it I missed her speak now/1989 side in music. This album is just that and even better. Not a bad song on it. And "The Man"?? BDE AND BAD BTCH ENERGY! Her mind!

    Once again Swift reconstructs pop sound for a spectacular result. The instrumentation really makes this album, alongside Swift's extraordinary songwriting skills.

    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.
