    Lover is one, if not THE best Taylor Swift album as it encapsulates every dimension of love. Love for family? Soon You'll Get Better. For your partner? Flase God. What I love about this album is the evident growth of Taylor, in lyrics and vocal maturity. Production is top-notch as she partners up with Jack Antonoff and Joel little. Truly, a masterpiece

    The album overall is so good, every track has its own story but it's tied to one theme sonically and lyrically. And it is the best album of 2019, can't stop hitting replay. Taylor should win album of the year at the Grammys with this brilliant album.

    Taylor Swift once again takes her craft to another level. Lover is the next step in Ms. Swift style and in her life. It’s the most mature body of work she’s done yet. From songs that use her platform to uplift the LGBTQ community to ballads about her current partner, Lover is a love letter to love itself. While there may have been some songs that I was initially unsure about, I returnedTaylor Swift once again takes her craft to another level. Lover is the next step in Ms. Swift style and in her life. It’s the most mature body of work she’s done yet. From songs that use her platform to uplift the LGBTQ community to ballads about her current partner, Lover is a love letter to love itself. While there may have been some songs that I was initially unsure about, I returned for another listen and am hooked to each melody. No one quite writes a bridge like Ms. Swift either. I have so many favorite lyrics that prove Taylor is a poet/songstress at heart. From “You play stupid games / you win stupid prizes” to her hypnotic voice in Afterglow, I truly think this is Taylor’s best work.… Expand

    Sounds like a kids bop album. She is way too old to be writing lyrics like “In my feelings more than Drake” or “Cause shade never made anybody less gay”. The bests songs on this album were mediocre at best cause thats the only kind of music she knows how to make.

    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.
