    Absolute rubbish album this is. This album is just an apology for how bad reputation was but feels unoriginal and lazy. This album has themes of romance, social issues and dreams that reminds me of Madonnas album in 1986 True Blue. Taylor’s vocals are overly processed with autotune and reverb. Her songwriting is overly formulaic and isn’t as poignant as her 2012 album Red and theAbsolute rubbish album this is.

The lead single ME!

This album deserves all the hate as Taylor is a country queen not a pop queen. While the album has nice moments such as the song bout her mom and the archer . The album is Ames’s and further proves that pop music isn’t Taylor Swifts forte o Expand

    such a let down. Going from an era which was all about becoming a bad girl and changing and letting go of the old Taylor, and then she goes and makes the most bubble gum pop, pink and girly era she has ever had which takes all sincerity and realness out of Reputation and showing it was completely orchestrated and not honest or sincere at all.

    On Maturity

    Often when it comes to artists I've liked I find that sometimes they have to be left behind because I have matured while their music has stayed still.

    On Maturity

    Often when it comes to artists I've liked I find that sometimes they have to be left behind because I have matured while their music has stayed still. Yes, 10 years ago I would love to listen to a song about a breakup and how hard it is, but I've grown up from that time. Oddly, Taylor and I are the same age but I feel her music has gone backwards in maturity. She still makes entire songs and lyrics about high school, prom dresses, school hallways. It makes imagery that's actually fairly strong but I graduated a decade ago, I've got a career and an education; Taylor, who is this music for? Who dreams about high school?

    As for the quality of the music itself mos to fit plays like very generic pop sound. None of it will floor you, none of it is new or refreshing, it does not bring anything new to the genre.

    On this album the songs that stuck out most for me were the tracks where Taylor tries something different or goes back to her roots. Acoustic on Lover, something different on London Boy, country sounds and maturity on Soon You'll Get Better.

    Would I recommend this album? Not particularly but you're going to hear it anyway.

    This is even worse than Reputation, which is honestly quite an achievement. There really are no songs that I liked. Some are decent, but most of this album is just garbage, and the fact that it's 18 tracks just makes it even more exhausting.

    Musically, there's nothing even slightly adventurous or creative here. Everything is just by-the-numbers pop music. The songs also lack cohesion.

    Musically, there's nothing even slightly adventurous or creative here. Everything is just by-the-numbers pop music. The songs also lack cohesion. It sounds like every song was written by a different group of producers.

    Lyrically, this is Taylor Swift at her worst. Everything is so literal and straightforward, and there's so much repetition. So many of these songs sound like she cranked out the lyrics in like 10 minutes. Not to mention, some of the songs are straight up campy and childish. Me!, You Need to Calm Down, and Paper Rings are perfect examples of this.

    Overall, this failed to meet my already low expectations. It's inoffensive, cookie-cutter pop music, and it honestly sucks. Worst album I've listened to in a long time.

    This is another of Swift's highs, with very cohesive narrative in its fundamentals. Also, we have a nice romanticization of love, which always sees the light of day in its recent releases. "Lover" is about loving.

    “I Forgot You Existed” and “The Man” are the only songs I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping parts. The album as a whole is a disappointment and a downgrade from her work on Reputation which had more attitude and originality.

    Lyrically and production based this is one of, if not her best, albums ever. It allows for a deep insight into how swift defines love and happiness and sadness and longing.

    Taylor always seems to outdo herself. I don't know what I enjoy more - the music or the lyrics. An absolute masterpiece.

    This is her best album till date. Mix of Red and 1989, two of my all time favorite album. She never disappointments us.

    Prolly the most iconic album on her whole career (followed by Red), tracks follow a visible pattern, which can be strongly addictive.

    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.
