    I’m sorry but SNOOZE! It’s so boring it’s the same old sugary pop songs she used to make at 16...now she’s almost 30 and still the same...there’s zero progress! She tries to deliver deep and meaningful thoughts but she doesn’t explore them in depth enough to make any impact but I guess her writing is challenged when she attempts to write on. deep and thought provoking topics as previouslyI’m sorry but SNOOZE!

    Trash. Utter trash. I think I’d rather listen to my alarm for 8hrs straight than this crap. Shows absolutely zero growth as an artist and her vocals are painful to hear. Someone tell this girl that she can’t sing because clearly she doesn’t understand that

    The sound is way too generic, there is nothing innovative about this album, it will probably be forgotten in about 3 months. She lost her own identity and sold herself to the mainstream media and made her career based on cheap celeb drama. Too bad! This album lacks of good tracks. I give her a 0.

    I have loved Taylor for so long, but this album is not her best. The whole era was messy, and the best songs are just the singles.

    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.

    Don't get me wrong but Reputation and Lover is her worst album. We want the old Taylor back. This albums has so many skips and corny lyrics. Also she's milking so many dramas it's getting annoying. 1989 is still her best album. I'm a swiftie btw

    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.
