    Mi álbum favorito de Taylor de momento, por su producción, su acompañamiento instrumental, su variedad de sonidos, la cantidad de canciones y su orden perfecto creo que es el mejor del año.

    This album is so beautiful and angelic. Although it does have some weaker, bad tracks, it really makes up for it in the good tracks. There is generally more good tracks than bad. This album is really good and I loved it.

Moving on is taught strongly in 'I Forgot That You Existed'! 'Cruel Summer' serves us the love in a quick, adrenaline-filled summer love! 'Lover', the title track, melts our hearts with the true love we all dream of finding. Now 'The Man' shared the very real(!) issue for women in the music industry and how if she was a man, she would be THE Man! She shares her fear for her mother Andrea and how much she needs her in 'Soon You'll Get Better'. And of course blesses us with another jam in the form of 'Paper Rings'! I personally can't not love 'London Boy' as it namedrops many of the places in the city which I love! I won't describe every song but remember... Step into the Daylight and let it go! Lover is it!! Get it/Stream it/Love(r) it!

    Lover, an album that shows Taylor's most authentic self, is a force to be reckoned with. Her lyrics, melodies, and heart are the blood, sweat, and tears to this album that contains some of her best writing in years. The title track is a timeless love song that commands the attention of the entire room; the album has the same effect. Flawless.

    Taylor has outdone herself, as the world is used to see. The album is absolutely brilliant, and the romantic vibe will affect even the most frozen of hearts. Her songs seem to leak happiness, not leaving out her take on important issues, such as sexism in the music industry and LGBTQs rights. It's her greatest one yet, and her fans will love even more if it's also her most successful of date.

It makes you want to scream the lyrics from the roof of an apartment in New York City. There is nothing comparable to the feeling of hearing Swift’s deep growls in ‘Cruel Summer’ for the first time, listening to the passion and longing in her voice. The production behind each of the songs combined with the masterful lyricism from Swift is something to admire. The length of this album is fitting for this era of Swift’s life, giving us a glimpse of how she is and the things she is dealing with away from the sight of the media. This album is deserving of all the praise in the world. Congratulations. Expand

    The way Taylor continues to grow as and artist and a person and is consistently able to achieve even more emotional depth and nuance with each new album is absolutely remarkable, especially when so much of the meaning is in the lyrical subtext of what, at first glance, might appear to be "just a pop album."

Taylor has elevated what pop music can do and, as a songwriter, has become a voice of a generation of young people who have grown up with her, who have experienced hardships and heartbreaks along with her. She has given hope to a generation of people who have looked at the world around them and felt the same horror and hopelessness that she expresses in this album—in the absolute kindest, most Swiftian way possible, she has encouraged us all to fight back. This album is a capstone on top of an already extraordinary body of work, a more mature exploration of challenges and pain and anxieties that are simultaneously deeply personal and intimate while also being completely universal. Lover displays everything she has learned (every lesson, every guitar string scar on her hands) throughout her career with grace and love and joy, and truly exemplifies the best of Taylor Swift and shows us why there is no one like her in this business.

    The BEST album of Taylor Swift until so far! I love how she wrote these lyrics with real emotions and complexity. You can feel emotional spectrum from one album which has to be the most amazing experience. A must-listen this year.

    Lyrically, this is a very confusing album. Its hard to pin point the idea.

    A gorgeous, truly amazing work of art. She shows a variety of emotions throughout the album and even though she’s in a wonderful, healthy, loving relationship she still shows doubts and fears she has. She also addresses politics (in support of the LGBTQ+ community in You Need To Calm Down and then through Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince with a brilliant metaphorical high schoolA gorgeous, truly amazing work of art. She shows a variety of emotions throughout the album and even though she’s in a wonderful, healthy, loving relationship she still shows doubts and fears she has. She also addresses politics (in support of the LGBTQ+ community in You Need To Calm Down and then through Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince with a brilliant metaphorical high school meant to be about America). She is very open and emotional in this album whether singing about love (such as in the title track), fears and pain (such as in Cornelia Street and The Archer and Soon You’ll Get Better), or a myriad of other emotions.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lover is a amazing album full of all sorts of emotion and ways to describe love with party boos like paper rings and I forgot that you existed and sad bangers like the archer and it’s nice to have a friend. Honestly lover to me is absolute perfection and I couldn’t ask for it to be any better. Expand

    One of her best, maybe her best album.
    An album about all the different kinds of love, what’s not to love!

    Taylor Swift's Lover is so variant and colorful it shows how much she's grown up as a person after her 13-year-old music career.

    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.
