    Coeso mesmo com 18 músicas! Taylor Swift prova, mais uma vez, ser a artista da década trazendo um álbum colorido, divertido, amoroso e futuro AOTY (dá vontade né, @reputation?!).

    um album pop perfeito, era esse o album que a gente queria que a taylor tivesse feito depois do 1989 é muito mais a cara dela.
    Cornelia Street, Daylight, Cruel Summer e The Archer são as musicas mais perfeitas.
    I Think He Knows e Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince tambem são ótimas e muito viciantes e gostosas de ouvir assim como todo o album que ficou excelente!

    The album brilliantly shows Taylor exploring the "meaning of love" whether it be in being in a loving relationship, fighting for the right to love, loving who you are, and showing love and support when the one you love needs it most.

    Cuando nadie creía que Taylor podría crear un álbum igual de artístico que RED, llega con Lover a demostrar lo equivocados que estábamos.
    Lover es un álbum realmente artístico, exquisito, sin duda alguna se lució.

    POP PERFECTION!!! This album didn't disappoint. She brought back classic pop or 90s/00s pop. The energy and emotions she put in singing every songs are on point. I love the lyrics and I love how she tells her story through wonderful songs. This is the pop version of RED, but more about love instead of heartbreaks. The production is also excellent. I'll give it a 10.

    The definition of pop perfection. Swift does it once again and proves that she’s the best at what she does, some people love her, other hate her but there’s no doubt that this album takes her to a whole new level of greatness and, every single song is a hit, Thanks Taylor Swift for proving there’s still hope for pop music.

    Swift never goes out of her style. She still makes good albums with strong pop songs like "The Man", "Miss Americana&Heartbreaker Prince" or "Cruel Summer". By the way, the album is too long (18 songs). Some songs sound the same and there is no any progress in these songs since "Red" or "1989" (Paper Rings, London Boy). But it's still a good pop-romantic album to listen.

    Com a chegada de "Lover", o sétimo álbum da carreira de Taylor Swift traz uma nova abordagem sobre músicas que falam sobre amor. Em sua nova fase, Taylor sai de uma fase "dark" da era Reputation e volta às origens com batidas que lembram o country mas sem perder a magia do pop. Simplesmente maravilhoso. Sem defeitos.

    Taylor continues to innovate in her country-pop crossover. To me, 'Lover' is better than '1989'. Definitely one of the best Swift records. The lead single doesn't seem to blend in w/ the whole album. Taylor proves that she is still pure gold without any Max Martin productions.

    It's my favourite Swift's album. The songs are thought-provoking and touching. How could it not be 10?

    Lover is indeed about love and its complexity, chaotic, cuteness and everything. Each track is very different from one another. Taylor Swift, known for her writing skill, describe the love explicitly define all its form. 18 songs feel so short yet complete. Cornelia Street, Afterglow and Daylight is a must listen from the album.

    Includes a range of emotions that will make you cry and laugh and rebel. Everyone should listen to this album because, guaranteed they'll find at least one song they'll have a connection with, whether you're looking for a slow paced ballad, an upbeat bopped a heart wrenching masterpiece

    Taylor’s ability to completely renovate her sound but still sound exactly like herself is a true testament to how good of a songwriter she is. Lover is a warmly welcomed addition to Taylor’s log of diary entries, maybe her best one yet.

    This album is juicy, this sounds beautiful
    It’s a risky move for Taylor to make another diverse album since Red didn’t win any Grammys. This album is still unique and different than her previous works and this is the best lyrically

    This album is almost perfect. From start to finish, it offers head-banging beats, vivid lyricism, and a medley of discussed issues. Singles ME and YNTCD do not do this album justice. In fact, ME is the only song that is somewhat “skippable” on this 18 track album. It truly is impeccable. I recommend Cornelia St, The Man, and False God with the highest regard.

    Best Taylor Swift album. Would never expect how it sounds based on the released singles. It's not that long, too short actually (Guardian id sh*t).

    Definitely the best and mature sounding album from her. Her growth through the years is unbelievable

    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.
