    lover has more skips than good songs which is bad. this album was really anticipated and exciting but when it finally dropped, it was a disappointment. the vibe of this album is basically ME! which is another bad thing. the only good songs of this album are: Cruel Summer, Lover, The Man, Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince, False God, You Need To Calm Down and Afterglow. reputation remains her best album x

    Taylor Swift has never disappointed me. I love everything about the Lover. Been putting on repeat for a week now since it was released. the BEST track for me is ”Afterglow” it’s such a beautiful song, well-written lyrics, and a marvelous tune!

    the second best track is ”Cruel Summer”
    DON’T SLEEP ON ”It’s Nice To Have A Friend”

    Too many filler tracks. This could have been cut down into an incredible 10 song album. ME! and It's Nice To Have A Friend are probably two of the worst songs she has ever released. When there are high points such as Cruel Summer, Miss Americana..., and Cornelia Street, it's disappointing that the rest of the album isn't as good.

    i wanted a new album from Taylor Swift. But I don't feel like this album is Taylor's. Sadly this is a mixture of music from other pop stars. I miss the old Taylor. But what can I do?? She'd already said she is dead. Probably the new Taylor forgot the taste of her guitar and piano. All she wanted to give us are songs decorated with electronic instruments.

    Haven't been this excited and content after listening to a pop album for years. that alone deserves a 10/10! This album feels like a full circle of her, musically and philosophically. with the musical spectrum of Red, passion of Fearless, confessional songwriting of Speak Now, and pop delight of 1989, Lover feels like a complete picture.

    Lover is her best piece of work today, you can play the whole album and you won't get tired of it, Taylor release a personal, beautiful, and clear pop album, the lyrics are from a professional song writer, all the lyrics go beyond from the first listen, you need to read them to understand what she is saying, the references she uses are amazing, literally one of the best written albums ofLover is her best piece of work today, you can play the whole album and you won't get tired of it, Taylor release a personal, beautiful, and clear pop album, the lyrics are from a professional song writer, all the lyrics go beyond from the first listen, you need to read them to understand what she is saying, the references she uses are amazing, literally one of the best written albums of the decade.

    The production is sweet, puts you in the best mood, they work perfectly with the lyrics, it's a sweet production that is deep compared to her previous work.

    The album is long, but has 0 fillers, every song is perfect compared to the other songs, the thing that left many people wishing is the lack of heavy danceable pop songs like shake it off, yet it is perfect without them. She made a beautiful, perfect, amazing love letter to her lover.

Cruel Summer boasts a catchy tune with a bridge that you want to scream at the top of your lungs, a specialty of Taylor’s which shines on this album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quise ahorrarme este post pero la verdad me sentí con el compromiso social de compartir con ustedes mi opinión de este discazo de la cultura pop. Hace tiempo no había un disco que me gustara tanto como #Lover así que aunque nadie lo pidió aquí está mi reseña jaja... porque en verdad tienen que escucharlo al menos una vez en su vida. Todos sabemos que Taylor Swift ha sido multi -awarded por la narrativa y la letra en sus canciones así que esperen un disco “tranquilo” para escuchar en un date, una reunión o mientras viajan en el tráfico (no esperen un disco lleno de sintetizadores y coros pegajosos para bailar)

    En general este disco está lleno de romanticismo (lo describe el nombre) pero también hay canciones que hablan de problemas sociales como los derechos se la comunidad LGBT con “You need to calm down”, el feminismo con “The Man” y la Guerra contra el Cancer con “Soon you’ll be better” y de entrada eso ya es un plus. Canciones como “False God” y “it’s nice to have a friend” tienen sonidos más experimentales, usa el sax, guitarra, y hasta marimbas. “Lover” y “Daylight” son las que tienen que dedicar si están enamorados. La verdad si se detienen a pensar que todo al rededor es reggaetón y thank you, next, este álbum esta lleno de narrativa, buen sonido y buenos estribillos.

    Por último las que mejor si sáltense son “ME!” y “Afterglow”

    Mis favoritas:
    * Lover
    * False God
    * Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince Suerte chavos, me cuentan qué les pareció...

    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.
