    Brilliant. I think this album reflects Swift's grow in thirteen years of work, it is the perfect combination of Speak Now's lyrics and 1989's production. Every single song is amazing, I am so proud of her and it was worth the wait. I Think He Knows and False God are my favourite tracks, Cruel Summer, The Man and Paper Rings are single material. I'm so happy with this album!!

    Taylor Swift in this one, simply at her best, this album is what was needed to prove that she can still write remarkable and heveanly-touched lyrics even if she doesn't have her exes to motivate to write. This simply says she can write all sorts of music whenever it comes to her. 10/10.

    Her best album to date. The albums lyrics are levels above her previous work. I honestly wish the album was longer. I love her personal details embedded in the song. I Forgot That You Existed is the best transition from reputation into Lover. Daylight is the perfect final song. You can tell how much Taylor has grown since 2017.

    There’s not much to say, just that this is arguably Taylor’s best pop album ever, especially under a lyrical point of view. Death by a thousand cuts, afterglow, cruel summer and daylight deserve a special mention because those are true masterpieces, probably some of the best songs Taylor ever produced in her whole career.

    I had a feeling that "Lover" would be a great album. I mean, it's Taylor Swift, I knew she'd bring us something worthwhile. However, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece. "Lover" is Swift's best work since "Red." The lyrics are captivating, thoughtful, and intriguing. Each song feels so different from each other but they still flow together beautifully. The production is top-notch. Put in yourI had a feeling that "Lover" would be a great album. I mean, it's Taylor Swift, I knew she'd bring us something worthwhile.

Put in your headphones and listen to every instrument, every beat, the sublime mixing, and you'll understand. While listening you can tell how much love and care Taylor and her team put into this album. Above all else, "Lover" is both a return to form and something completely new for Swift. She perfectly blends pure, peppy, perfect pop with slight twinges of country here and there, but it's easy to see that Swift has grown up quite a bit since her last album "reputation." I'd go as far as to say that "Lover" is an early contender to be the next Album of the Year.

    If you haven't listened to this album yet, get on your phone and stream it now. It's an absolute masterwork, definitely Swift's finest.    … Expand

    And don’t sleep on ”It’s Nice To Have A Friend”

    Ce nouvel album de Taylor Swift est vraiment bon, toujours aussi bien écrit. Certaines chansons vont vite devenir des hits comme The Man, False God, Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince etc. Elle ne m'a encore pas déçue avec ce nouvel album, bravo Taytay!

    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.
