    This is her best album. It has a vibe of Fearless and Red mixed with 1989 mood. Loved it!

    A masterfully written album filled with so many layers of commentary, such complexity, both social and personal through the metaphor of Love. Taylor’s most personal pop album by far.

    Um albúm totalmente diferente de tudo que a taylor já fez,um albúm pessoal e muito gostoso de se ouvir. Eu diria que o Lover é a versão apaixonada do reputation,com uma pitada mais madura e apaixonante do Red e o 1989,simplesmente perfeito!

    "don't date her, she'll gonna write songs about you"; and here's how she actually did it when you actually treated her right. This album is complete opposite of her 2017 "reputation", which is her dark phase; and now it's over. This album is not only about love between two people, it;s also about self-love, self-worth in a relationship, the up & down between two lovers but somehow they"don't date her, she'll gonna write songs about you"; and here's how she actually did it when you actually treated her right. This album is complete opposite of her 2017 "reputation", which is her dark phase; and now it's over. This album is not only about love between two people, it;s also about self-love, self-worth in a relationship, the up & down between two lovers but somehow they still fight it up to stay with one another. She always outdid herself.
    You might not like her as a person or might not like her music, but your "her music is all the same" argument is INVALID. Her growth as an artist is very impressive.

    The new album by Taylor Swift might be her most mature work up until now. She is ready to take over the music industry once again and what better way than releasing the album of the year?

    This is the ultimate Taylor Swift album. 0 skips, songs about feminism, homophobia, politics, cancer, friendship, cancel culture, insecurities and everything in between.

    For her seventh album, her growth is more visible than ever. From bubblegum pop, to electronic feminist anthems, country powerful ballads and alternative pop, this album has it all. Lyrically, her best one yet.

    Taylor really brings it in this one of a kind love focused album. She goed political in a few of the songs like the single You need to Calm Down,, the Man, Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince o. But it's also fun in songs like London Boy and I think he knows. And deeply in love in Lover, Paper rins and daylight! Buy it, stream it, love it!

    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.
