    Best pop album ever. Thanks for showing up in my life and light up my whole world. Taylor Swift, whether you hate her or not, she is one of the most powerful women you have ever seen. BTW some fans should focus on their idol and listen to their music, this is the only right way to make AG and LDR great again.

    One of her best albums. She sounds passionate, real and raw while keeping up with unique melodies and her usual outstanding writing skills.
    Once again Taylor has shown us her power and her creative talent in a true pop masterpiece. Lover is without a doubt one of the best pop albums out in 2019.

    Lover is pop perfection. Swift’s best work I would say. A lyrical and musical masterpiece. The lyrics just knows the way to one’s heart and the music tops it off beautifully. There’s no one else who can make art as good as Taylor Swift and that’s a fact.

    She encompasses all aspects of love. The good, the heartbreaking, the bad. It’s a genius and greatly written record that shows her vulnerability and talent. She shares her personal stories in ways that you can dance and cry to. Unmatched. I’m glad she owns this one because she truly deserves every ounce of praise for this album.

    Meh. Gave it a 1 cause it’s at least better than reputation. She needs to go back to that beautiful country/indie/alternative/pop sound that she created with Red, Speak Now. Besides a few exceptions, her pop songs sound forced, awkward, overproduced. And her lyrics get hidden behind the heavy production.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Taylor swift is a song writer before a singer. The album has few self written masterpieces. She has put social connotations in anthems like You need to calm down, The man and Prince Americana and the heartbreak prince. She has ventured into the classic Swift vulnerability which her past has tinged with an uncanny toxicity best described in afterglow and the archer . The album is the perfect blend of pop/indie vibe. Its mainstream yet its offstream. The Red storytelling makes a return debit in this albums in songs like Cornelia street and cruel summer. This is taylor at her strongest narrative even stronger than Reputation. The album ends perfectly with daylight. The album could be seen by some having filler tracks like its nice to have a friend but even though its a filler(as said by some) its stronger than most pop songs charting right now. So tis album id a certified masterpiece not to impress the ears right away but for the soul to find homage when its alone and secluded.… Expand

    I can’t find any song that made u really impressed And the concept of the album can be done by 3 songs maximum I skipped all the songs by the middle and I don’t think there’s a way to listen to this album fully

    I’ve been following Taylor for years now. Her ability to grow and evolve as an artist, performer and human being is something I will always admire. Stunning lyrics that describe raw and vulnerable emotions you can relate to, beautiful vocals and jaw dropping productions are some of the ingredients of her newest album that you can’t help but fall in love with.

    It's one of the best albums I have ever heard almost all of the songs are really good - Masterpiece as another word to describe it - it's so romantic and well made Taylor Swift did an amazing job at this album .

    You’d enjoy if if you mute the volume. Aren’t we over these generic, repetitive, boring songs that use serious topics just to get the word out (for the song not about the topic)

    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.
