    I love lover. It’s her best album. The lyrics are as good as speak now, the hooks are as great as red and the production is 1989. There’s something for everyone on this album..

    Daylight, Cornelia Street, Soon You'll Get Better, Death By A Thousand Cuts and ME! are my fav songs in this great album, Taylor Swift is an amazing songwriter and LOVER is the best album since reputation and 1989, it should be the album of 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.

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.

    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 like the lyrics in this album it shows off Taylor's lyrical side more since critics doubted her lyrical skills after releasing 'reputation' and that album was supposed to be that way since she wasn't going to promote and talk about it. And I really like the production of this album its like a mixture of her older stuff and her newer stuff which made it different to her albums. And it also shows the different types of love, here she shows off her love for her boyfriend, her love for her mom, her love for lgbtq + community, her love for her friends, her love for herself.… Expand

    The new album is as amazing as all previous ones. I highly recommend all fans as well as people who never heard her music to give it a try.

    Every release of Taylor's album, I always say that this is her best one yet and Lover is no difference. She just couldn't help but outdid herself. Truly one of the greatest artists of all time.

    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.
