    Just sounds the same as her stuff from the pst five years ... has a good voice so I’m giving her a one but otherwise ... tasteless and cheesy beats and lyrics that we have heard before

    This is one of Taylor’s Best Album!
    Every song in the album is as good as the other
    It keeps you hooked on it for days
    The album can be heard on loop multiple times Atleast I do that
    The songs like cruel summer, London boy, paper rings are bops to hear on your cab rides!
    They give such positive vibes!! Overall my favourite of Taylor along with Reputation!!

    Taylor Swift has shown some potential before....there’s some projects by her that I really find solid, inventive, and well crafted. 1989 was the last album by her that I could tolerate. I really admired her throwback to the old pop sound. Reputation was a huge misstep that just seemed like an album that was playing catch up to some other artists.

    I'm so deeply in love with this album. It's possibly Taylor Swift's best work yet. The lyrics showcase her growth as a songwriter, and I'm quite sure 'Lover' will be a popular wedding song for decades to come. Listening to Lover has got me thinking about and feeling love in all sorts of ways - whether it's romantic, platonic, or familial. It's a whole masterpiece!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is a chronicle of love throughout the ages of a person (schoolgrounds to adulthood), from friendship to family and lover. But it's not JUST that. If you've been waiting for Taylor Swift to go political in song? Miss Americana is the one for you. Through a metaphor of a friendship or relationship, she paints her experience as an American hearing the news and being in the center of it, which, as a foreigner, I enjoy. Spoiler alert: 2016 is the apocalypse.
    If you enjoyed a parody of her portrayal in the likes of Blank Space? London Boy is for you.
    If you would enjoy a love song about Karlie Kloss, that describes the anxiety and fragility of an established, happy relationship that you're afraid to lose? Cornelia Street is for you.
    If you can relate to feeling helpless as a relative struggles with their health? Soon You'll Get Better is for you.
    The music of this album is airy and dreamlike, and it fits well with the (albeit extremely coton candy colored) aesthetics chosen for the album. It's a music to think to, to hike to, to lie in the grass to. While Reputation was wrathful and angry, Lover is letting go and exposing what is INSIDE the armor, protected by all the spikes of Reputation. It feels, in terms of evolution, the continuation of 1989, after the shield of Reputation has been put securely in place.

    Taylor isn't afraid of telling the world how she feels about Joe Alwyn and to show every process of their relationship. The cruel start, the errors and the rights, the moments of anxiety and the moments of clarity. As true love, it's not always great but it's Golden.
    A love letter for love is indeed the best description someone could put to this album.

    This album is a step up from reputation as her original songwriting and raw vocals comeback. She managed to make the perfect bubbly pop album for the time being with minimal skips (3 skips). There could have been better production amongst songs and I can think of 2 songs that do not belong on the album that would bring it to a 10. Great work Taylor Swift, you did it again with another pop classic.

    Absolutely her best album to date. She just gets better with time. A richly complex and textured album that spans every genre from country to jazz to punk.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Taylor’s seventh studio album is possibly her best by far. Excellent production, flawless songwriting and improved vocals from Swift make this album a delight to the ears. Taylor mixes childhood melancholy, love and infatuation, and the complexities of the political climate in the US flawlessly. Swift is at her most mature — and happiest, and this spirit makes itself known in sing-a-long feel good tracks such as London Boy and Paper Rings. Undoubtedly a fan favourite and the magnum opus of Swift’s work thus far. Expand

    As an avid Taylor Swift fan, I may be biased but I don’t think that’s the case as I definitely wouldn’t rate other albums as high, namely Reputation. This is Swift’s most mature, and probably best album lyrically. The production is also great, the song “Lover” being a highlight of this. This album is incredibly introspective and sensitive as Swift gets more personal than most other albumsAs an avid Taylor Swift fan, I may be biased but I don’t think that’s the case as I definitely wouldn’t rate other albums as high, namely Reputation. This is Swift’s most mature, and probably best album lyrically. The production is also great, the song “Lover” being a highlight of this. This album is incredibly introspective and sensitive as Swift gets more personal than most other albums as seen in “The Archer” and “Soon you’ll Better.” Don’t be turned away by the singles, especially ME! - the album is much smarter than what these would give off. The inclusion of these type of songs (pretty much just ME) are the reason the album doesn’t hit a 10. All in all, Lover is a pop masterpiece and you should give it a try. Standouts of the album: “Cruel Summer,” “Death by 1000 Cuts,” and “Lover.” Expand

    13 years into her career, Taylor Swift continues to craft exquisite lyrics, songs, and albums across the board. Lover is no exception. Lover delivers closure to reputation, Taylor's best quality lyrics and production since 1989, and a record number of songs that are standing as among the best in her discography. I cried for the first time since Speak Now. I laughed for the first time since13 years into her career, Taylor Swift continues to craft exquisite lyrics, songs, and albums across the board.

Lover delivers closure to reputation, Taylor's best quality lyrics and production since 1989, and a record number of songs that are standing as among the best in her discography. I cried for the first time since Speak Now. I laughed for the first time since reputation. I was shocked for the first time since 1989. This album almost surpasses 1989 in quality. It is overall better than her country efforts, and is easily in contest to be her second best pop album. 1989 closed the chapter of her first 5 albums. Lover closes the chapter opened with reputation and opens the door for everything that will follow. This album definitely contains the best lyric of her career to date (which I won't say for the sake of spoilers, but it's the end of the bridge of track 2). Taylor's discography is known for having revelational verses; in this album, it's the bridges' turn to shine. I can barely express the euphoria and the pain I felt listening. This album feels different from her others in the best possible way. From the return of solo-written tracks to the songs that feel like sequels to the best songs of her discography, I cannot wait to see what happens next. Taylor has consistently shown us that her darkest material is still blaringly optimistic. And this is her lightest material. I would highly recommend listening and seeing the sheer golden daylight of emotion that that entails. Expand

    On Lover she explores all the genres she done before and mix all in one and truly lovely album. She is a truly writer. She can transform poetry in music. There's some boring songs with beautiful lyrics like "It's Nice to Have a Friend" and "False God" that helps to lose the concept of the album judging by how it sounds, but

    Taylor tiene la capacidad de hacerte crear una imagen visual de cada canción es como si estuvieras en segundo plano viendo una historia aunque eso aveces puede jugar en contra, Lover tiene buenas letras aunque en ocaciones suele usar frases típicas que se sienten forzadas por la narrativa y continuidad de la letra pero eso no le quita que sea un buen álbum.

    El álbum es perfecto, los haters que dicen que es lo mismo, no pueden sostener ningún argumento sensato solo demeritan el gran trabajo de composición que Taylor hizo en el álbum, es claro que las melodías están acorde al álbum, y es sorprendente que Taylor lanza algo sentimental y con melodías que es algo totalmente diferente a lo que esta supuesta mente esta de moda, un pop con mezclasEl álbum es perfecto, los haters que dicen que es lo mismo, no pueden sostener ningún argumento sensato solo demeritan el gran trabajo de composición que Taylor hizo en el álbum, es claro que las melodías están acorde al álbum, y es sorprendente que Taylor lanza algo sentimental y con melodías que es algo totalmente diferente a lo que esta supuesta mente esta de moda, un pop con mezclas de rap comercial, gracias que aun tenemos a Taylor en la industria musical Expand

    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.
