    Every song on this album is an absolute bop. No skips. Some of the best lyrics of Taylor's career.

    Pefect summer album, full of summer bops. This might not be her best album but it's still a quality pop album unlike pop music nowadays.

    me! is the most insufferable song i think i’ve ever heard. whoever allowed that to be written and produced i don’t know. the album itself is so expected and bland. 0 negative reviews? somethings up.

    Taylor’s best album and nobody will change my mind. She has grown so much as a singer and songwriter in the past few years and it shows on this album. Pop perfection

    Lover is iconic, beautifully written, amazing lyricism and brought me back to being a Taylor Swift fan.In kindergarten I was of course a huge Taylor fan, owned all her books, cds etc. Then as I got older about 5th grade I stopped listening to Taylor and completely and sadly abandoned her until I met a new friend who loved taylor and told me about ME! which had Brendon Urie who I’d beenLover is iconic, beautifully written, amazing lyricism and brought me back to being a Taylor Swift fan.In kindergarten I was of course a huge Taylor fan, owned all her books, cds etc. Then as I got older about 5th grade I stopped listening to Taylor and completely and sadly abandoned her until I met a new friend who loved taylor and told me about ME! which had Brendon Urie who I’d been stanning.That led to us becoming good friends and me going back to my roots to love Taylor Swift.Lover is the soundtrack to our friendship and like Taylor says “represents love in all its forms” including my amazing new friendship.… Expand

    I wasn't sure how I was going to like this album due to it's first singe, "Me," which isn't bad; it just isn't my cup of tea. However, with the subsequent releases of the next two singles, and "The Archer," I had hope. Luckily, Ms. Swift delivered the absolute perfect pop album! I cannot pick a song as my favorite...they are just all that good.

I cannot pick a song as my favorite...they are just all that good. It is the lyrical genius that is Taylor Swift at her very best. In my opinion she has saved pop music. Don't actually skip any songs...but definitely listen to "Cornelia St," and "Daylight." Just beautiful! I hardcore love Reputation, but this album has now taken the top spot on my playlist!… Expand

    Not evolving compared to her previous albums. Still making music for young white girls. Music is so childish.

    The album overall is so good, every track has its own story but it's tied to one theme sonically and lyrically. And it is the best album of 2019, can't stop hitting replay. Taylor should win album of the year at the Grammys with this brilliant album.

    Except You need to calm down this is really bad. Generic, mainstream pop that’s here to please those who don’t really appreciate music.

    Lover is one, if not THE best Taylor Swift album as it encapsulates every dimension of love. Love for family? Soon You'll Get Better. For your partner? Flase God. What I love about this album is the evident growth of Taylor, in lyrics and vocal maturity. Production is top-notch as she partners up with Jack Antonoff and Joel little. Truly, a masterpiece

    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.
