    This album is the best album I have ever heard. It is so simple yet raw. The lyrics in this album indicates that miss swift is the writer of this generation. Some tracks are slow which is great and to my taste, I personally prefer some of the tracks on albums by artists, including taylor. They just stand out and I believe that that's what makes it amazing. Album of the year for me.

    From a non biased view I can say that there are a lot of underrated gems on the album. Her lyricism is unmatched and you can tell she's in a happier place and can't just help to resonate with it from the songs on the album. Well done Taylor

    Her work ethic is something that is often overlooked; her love, passion and dedication is what has made her who she is today and what has given her the most loyal fanbase out of every other popstar of our time.
    She isn’t going ANYWHERE anytime soon and we all know that. And some people should accept it.    … Expand

    This album is so full of positive energy. Taylors lyrics are more mature than ever before. Songs like "Cruel Summer", "The Man", "Paper Rings" and "Death By A Thousand Cuts" make you wanna dance and scream the lyrics. On the other hand "Soon You'll Get Better" is a song that makes you wanna cry. A very well done album

    I think Lover might be her best album. She finally wrote the album she has always wanted to write, an album about a love golden like daylight.

    A stunning pop album, filled with beautiful lyrics, synth beats and imagery. For those who have found their lovers, or others who dream of romance, it’s beautiful in every way.

    not a single flaw in the entire album. ariana fans can stay pressed.
    i struggled to rank the songs from best to worst, granted we can say ME! wasn’t the worlds best leading single but stop acting like it’s a bad song. as i said, not one flaw.

    Amazing album! One of the few I can't skip not even one song. Perfection from start to finish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this album is a lyrical masterpiece . it shows the contrast between previous lyrics and new lyrics, while still maintaining a nostalgia effect from all 6 previous albums. it includes bops like I Forgot That You Existed, Cruel Summer, and The Man. she addresses political topics that are ignored in pop culture because, yes, she’s THAT **** it’s amazing. she experiments with new sounds, does some songs with just instruments- for a retro effect. she had very few co-writers on the album and of course she wrote most songs herself. she took her vocals to a new level, especially on Cruel Summer. London Boy is so cleverly thought out, she referenced a few different locations in london, which all together map out a heart. this is her best album yet.… Expand

    Taylor sets the bar so high for the music industry. She's talented and a business woman. Lover is indeed deserves a Grammy.

    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.
