    The album doesn't fail to give you a dreamy feeling of finding the one for the first time. Lyrics are deep as can be heard in songs like "Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince", "The Archer" and "Lover". I highly recommend this album to everyone who's looking for some romantic music.

    Taylor really shows of what for a good songwriter she is. The production is really beautiful from a lovely country track to a really fast pop sound. From deep lyrics to lyrics that are just fun.

    Lover is Taylor Swift's most romantic album up to date and it showcases all the complexity when it comes to love. Let's give a round of applause to the most-anticipated album of the year, Lover.

    Lover is a good album, but it does lack on cohesion and good production. The singles were poorly chosen and it does stain the album’s reputation. There are, although, hidden jams in it, and very personal songs like “Soon You’ll Get Better”, “The Archer”, “Lover” and some others.

    Lover brings in a whole new sound to Taylor Swift. Gone are the days of bashing her exes and now we are gifted with romantic ballads and synth-pop bops about love and as Taylor puts it “you are what you love”.

    I have listened to Taylor Swift’s most recent body of work titled “Lover” multiple times now. It is release day and I stayed up very late to hear the album. Miss Swift always serves a good album. She has never disappointed. Going into lover I expected to LOVE it but I didn’t expect it to become my favorite album. My (now previous) favorite album of all time is by Taylor. Red is a musicalI have listened to Taylor Swift’s most recent body of work titled “Lover” multiple times now. It is release day and I stayed up very late to hear the album. Miss Swift always serves a good album. She has never disappointed. Going into lover I expected to LOVE it but I didn’t expect it to become my favorite album. My (now previous) favorite album of all time is by Taylor. Red is a musical masterpiece with so many layers that I thought could never be topped but here we are with Lover. The album starts with a fun, summery, smart, shady... but also not shady track called “I Forgot You Existed”. Swift’s previous album reputation was very dark and hard hitting. I Forgot You Existed was the perfect track to start the album. It remind me of the subtle shade we had on reputation with the fun tones that are present on Lover. I’m not going to directly mention every song but tracks two and three need to be discussed. Track two is a BANGER called “Cruel Summer”. It has a killer chorus and a killer bridge. It’s production is like being slapped in the face by your favorite celebrity (that’s a good thing, like I would pay Taylor to slap me). Track three is a genius track called “The Man” where Swift talks about how she would be treated/seen in the industry/media if she was a male, not a female. It has such smart lyrics and a hard hitting bridge. The production is fun and reputation like. Soon You’ll Get Better, The Archer, and Lover are beautiful ballads. Swift shines on upbeat bops like Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince, London Boy, I Think He Knows, and more. A song that really stood out to me is Paper Rings. It has an indie rock vibe that I am obsessed with. Cornelia Street is Delicate’s (a single from Reputation) cousin. It has sweet, beautiful, and just pure pop perfection. False God is so smooth and just divine. Afterglow is a rush of pop magic. That is the only way I can describe it. You Need To Calm Down, one of the pre-release singles, showed Taylor speak up on things she cared about. It is such a fun song. But the meaning is so important. Taylor ends the album with a song called Daylight. Daylight is the perfect album closer. It is sweet, magical, and features a speaking part at the end to close the album that came from liner notes in her Red album. Listening to Lover is an EXPERIENCE. I have never heard an album like this. It’s pure pop perfection. It deserves a 10/10. Taylor really knows how to serve a great album. This album further solidifies Taylor as the modern queen of pop, no other girlie does it like her. Bravo. Just wow. Perfection. Expand

    The much expected sound from Taylor Swift but her sound seems much more liberative and you can actually sing her a lot dissimilar to her last album, reputation. The tunes are mostly pleasant and are throwback to the 80s with lyrics which are as good if not better than those on reputation, the album is quite happy and positive except a few songs.

    Somehow it ended up being her best album so far. The singles (aside from The Archer) really didn't do it justice.

    This album is great. I was always a bigger fan of her country sound lyrics. As a fan i mildly enjoyed 1989 & rep, but wasn't in love. This is a perfect culmination of her previous bodies of work. AMAZING

    One thing special about Taylor Swift is that you can see here growth and progress in every new album. TBH I was a little disappointed at ME! and YNTCD at first; but the whole album proves me wrong. These two totally fit, and there are more bops in it such as The Man and Cruel Summer. And Miss Americana / False God sound like nothing before. Definitely loving it!

    Lover is certainly one of her bests albums to date, if not the best one. Each song has a different feeling or vibe yet the sound and themes are cohesive from track to track. It has a lot of variety: we can find sad, happy, strong, cute, calm and sexy songs. The lyrics fit Lover's vibrant and deep aura perfectly. What else could we have expected from someone like Taylor Swift. An great album.

    El álbum es bueno, pero mis expectativas de Lover fueron muy intermedias, me esperaba algo más explosivo, no puedo parar de pensar que es la música que ponen en H&M, me esperaba algo más estilo 1989, pero aún así el álbum es muy bueno, tiene canciones como False God es una de mis canciones favoritas, tan desgarradora y tan fiel, el sonido del saxofón es tan nuevo en tay, lo ame.

    One of her best albums yet!! Swift is really in love and it shows. Hopefully 'False God' and 'The Man' are singles.

    Com certeza é o melhor álbum da Taylor até agora. Um álbum pro apaixonados, que podem dedicar quase todas as músicas pro seu Lover, e para os solteiros que acreditam que o amor ainda é possível. Taylor está em uma fase linda, não adianta dar hate pra diva da pure sales. O flop é só na cabeça dos Araianators que não aguentam o sucesso da Taylor.

    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.
