He controlled and bypassed the visual media in his favor, to come up with a Sentimental, Romantic and Iconic Album, after a Dark Album, he managed to reach his audience with country and pop, pleasing both sides.

Tanto el álbum, el primer sencillo y el subsiguiente “You Need to Calm Down” -catalogado por sus propios fans como el nuevo himno de la comunidad LGTB- fueron acompañados por una fuerte campaña de promoción alrededor del mundo creando expectativas un tanto pretensiosas para lo que realmente entrega.
    Lover juega con la ambigüedad, de momentos trata de atrapar al publico mas joven con sus tonos pastel y coloridos videos, y en otros desea mostrar madurez con letras mas profundas como en “Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince”, pero vuelve a caer en la redundancia que ha venido repitiendo en sus tres trabajos anteriores, aplicando a su confiable e infalible dramatismo romántico y desesperado en Lover, “The Archer”, “London Boy”; con letras que esperaríamos de una romántica poeta adolescente y no una mujer madura y consciente en la lucha feminista. Demás esta nombrar su himno feminista “The Man”, que bien podría considerarse como una de las mayores decepciones en cuanto liricas de parte de Swift, frases como “’Cause if I was a man, Then I would Be The Man” son repetidas en torno al estribillo con una producción brillante pero desperdiciada para una canción mediocre...".

    "... La Titan el Pop conoce bien la industria, y con Lover refleja la formula que ya hemos visto en reiteradas ocasiones; si algo funciona, repítelo hasta que deje de ser rentable. Siendo la misma Swift la usual escritora y compositora, vemos un resultado que ha venido explotando desde “1989” y “Red” (su álbum crossover al género del pop), como también intentado de imitar y emular -hasta el cansancio- tal éxito pero esta vez con un logro moderado por el desgastado modelo pop pegajoso. Si bien el álbum en su totalidad muestra un desempeño agradable y resalta en cuanto a producción musical. La misma Swift sobrecarga su propio ambiente y hace de Lover... ".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muito bom perfeito inovador amante perfeito sem condições pra esse álbum Eu já dei risada até a barriga doer,
    Já nadei até perder o fôlego,
    Já chorei até dormir
    E acordei com o rosto desfigurado.
    Já fiz cosquinha na minha irmã só pra ela parar de chorar,
    Já me queimei brincando com vela.
    Eu já fiz bola de chiclete e melequei todo o rosto.
    Já conversei com o espelho.
    E até já brinquei de ser bruxo.
    Já quis ser astronauta,
    Violonista, mágico, caçador e trapezista.
    Já me escondi atrás da cortina e esqueci os pés pra fora,
    Já passei trote por telefone,
    Já tomei banho de chuva,
    E acabei me viciando.
    Já roubei beijo,
    Já fiz confissões antes de dormir
    Num quarto escuro pro melhor amigo.
    Já confundi sentimentos,
    Peguei atalho errado
    E continuo andando pelo desconhecido.
    Já raspei o fundo da panela de arroz carreteiro,
    Já me cortei fazendo a barba apressado,
    Já chorei ouvindo música no ônibus.
    Já tentei esquecer algumas pessoas,
    Mas descobri que essas são as mais difíceis de se
    [esquecer.
    Já subi escondido no telhado pra tentar pegar estrelas,
    Já subi em árvore pra roubar fruta,
    Já caí da escada de bunda.
    Conheci a morte de perto,
    E agora anseio por viver cada dia.
    Já fiz juras eternas,
    Já escrevi no muro da escola,
    Já chorei sentado no chão do banheiro,
    Já fugi de casa pra sempre,
    E voltei no outro instante.
    Já saí pra caminhar sem rumo,
    Sem nada na cabeça, ouvindo estrelas.
    Já corri pra não deixar alguém chorando,
    Já fiquei sozinho no meio de mil pessoas
    Sentindo falta de uma só.
    Já vi pôr-do-sol cor-de-rosa e alaranjado,
    Já me joguei na piscina sem vontade de voltar,
    Já bebi uísque até sentir dormentes os meus lábios,
    Já olhei a cidade de cima
    E mesmo assim não encontrei meu lugar.
    Já senti medo do escuro,
    Já tremi de nervoso,
    Já quase morri de amor,
    Mas renasci novamente pro ver o sorriso de alguém [especial. Já acordei no meio da noite E fiquei com medo de levantar. Já apostei em correr descalço na rua, Já gritei de felicidade, Já roubei rosas num enorme jardim. Já me apaixonei e achei que era para sempre, Mas sempre era um "para sempre" pela metade. Já deitei na grama de madrugada E vi a Lua virar Sol, Já chorei por ver amigos partindo, Mas descobri que logo chegam novos, e a vida é mesmo um ir e vir sem razão. Foram tantas coisas feitas, Momentos fotografados pelas lentes da emoção. Guardados num baú, chamado coração. E agora um formulário me interroga, Encosta-me na parede e grita: "- Qual sua experiência?”. Essa pergunta ecoa no meu cérebro: "experiência... experiência...” Será que ser "plantador de sorrisos" é uma boa experiência? Não! ”Talvez eles não saibam ainda colher sonhos!”

Lover was a reset for Taylor, an obvious departure from the dark reputation and it was refreshing to see Taylor write another happy record. She sings in the first track (which is a perfect opener by the way) about forgetting the people who did her wrong and that they mean nothing to her. It then goes into what I believe is the best song on the record, "Cruel Summer." The song pulsates and takes clear inspiration from St Vincent (who's a cowriter on this song). The bridge stands out the most of course, I mean no one thought that was Taylor the night the album dropped. The next track, "Lover" might be Taylor's most romantic track to date, only being rivaled by folklore's, "peace." The song also has a beautiful bridge and was written solo. "The Man" is a wonderful feminist anthem, and is followed by "The Archer," which is a wonderful track 5 about public pressures and being hated and then loved. The next tracks are all characterized by their sometimes emotional and love related themes. "Paper Rings" is a wonderful track, very 80s synth-pop comparable to some of the work on 1989. "ME!" and "You Need To Calm Down," were notably weaker songs but they were singles and sometimes singles just aren't made to be phenomenal songs. The album closes with "Daylight" which is another highlight on this album and while "Afterglow," as well as "Daylight" are sonically similar, thematically they're polar opposites. Taylor really did phenomenal work on this album and it's aged like wine being one of the most successful albums of 2019. Happy 2 year anniversary, Lover! Expand

    Lover is a good album with actual songs that I liked but some tracks are really forgettable and brings nothing to the album. Also, the single 's choice are really bad except lover (song) because they don't represent the album. I had a feeling that too much repetitive.

    This is my rank of Taylor’s albums so far:

    1st: Lover & 1989 (I can’t decide between them)
    2nd: Speak Now & reputation (I can’t decide between them as well)
    3rd: RED

    This album has some of the best songs in her discography such as Cornelia street and daylight, but also some of her worst such as ME!. ME! is a song I enjoy and like but its production is very childish but after watching miss Americana I understand why. This album is great, its messages and production + the lyrics (for most), make the album an amazing score of 9.5/10.

O Lover tem esse poder de identificação até em quem já está descrente do amor; a real é que todo mundo já errou, já acertou, já se decepcionou, já superou e já se sentiu acolhido alguma vez, mesmo que por pouco tempo e o album traz essa sensação de "instante duradouro" que tanto conhecemos.

    Swift explodes the expectations of anyone preparing to call her music "diaristic," writing songs from different perspectives while putting her already-detailed work under a microscope. ... A content smile of an album on which one of the world's biggest pop stars, charts be damned, forges her own path and dares listeners to come along for the ride.

    Lover is kind of bright color after reputation. Now, Swift does what she wants and no longer be limited to the virtual standard of society.

    Proof that pop music is not dead, it does not have to be generic and it does not have to be a repetition of previous pop music.

    Taylor continues to perfect pop music while also sprinkling touching deep cuts like Soon You'll Get Better or the out of character False God.

    although not her strongest album imo, lover is actually a really good album. a lot of the songs are very fun/catchy, and the deep cuts have really good storytelling, and emotional production. some critiques i have of the album are 1: the tracklist. there are points in the album where the song orders don't make much sense. one example is both singles being located quite close to the end ofalthough not her strongest album imo, lover is actually a really good album. a lot of the songs are very fun/catchy, and the deep cuts have really good storytelling, and emotional production. some critiques i have of the album are 1: the tracklist. there are points in the album where the song orders don't make much sense. one example is both singles being located quite close to the end of the album. also, the part where is goes paper rings, cornelia street, dbatc, paper rings and cornelia street should be switched due to the key change at the end of paper rings making the outro the same key as the intro to dbatc. another critisism i have of lover is that a lot of the songs sound very simalir to taylor's past works, but there are plenty of great songs that bring something new to her discography such as lover, miss americana and the heartbreak prince, false god, and the afterglow. overall, my favorite tracks are cruel summer, lover, the archer, miss americana and the heartbreak prince, cornelia street, london boy, the afterglow, and daylight. i would highly recommend this album to anybody interested in fun, dance/synth pop with a bit of a romantic tone.

    Primeiro álbum dela que escutei inteiro, não gosto muito deste estilo mas o dela até que me conquistou, gosto da maioria das músicas, algumas eu deixaria de fora e a minha favorita é a faixa-título Lover.

    Despite some highlights like Afterglow and Cruel Summer, this album just feels very repetitive and almost too catchy to function.
    Top Track: Afterglow
    Worst Track: London Boy

    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.
