    Sounds like a kids bop album. She is way too old to be writing lyrics like “In my feelings more than Drake” or “Cause shade never made anybody less gay”. The bests songs on this album were mediocre at best cause thats the only kind of music she knows how to make.

    Super childish album I couldn't even get past some songs because of how immature they were. Taylor you're almost 30 years old get a grip.

    Heavy decline from her previous albums, ever since Speak Now her writing styles have devalued drastically and that production could put an Insomniac to sleep.

    Nada nuevo, lo mismo de siempre, carente de personalidad este álbum ha sido el más vacío que pudo hacer Taylor, ya el mundo entero sabe que ha tenido problemas con otras personas y aún así las sigue plasmando en sus letras, ya supera tu trauma hija

    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. Now Lover comes in, and while not all songsTaylor 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.

    Predictable. Boring. Weak lyrics. When the song that gives title to the album is so uncreative and boring it's impossible to expect more from the whole product. Disappointing.

    taylor has proven yet again that she has no artistic growth whatsoever. she is 29 and this album sounds like it should be kidzbop songs. lyrics like “spelling is fun” proves she is nothing more than a mediocre songwriter and with her lack of vocal abilities this album is not enjoyable.

    Taylor não conseguiu contagiar ninguém com esse último álbum, além disso podemos afirmar que o resto de sua discografia segue o mesmo ritmo de trabalho mal feito, se esforce mais.

    Álbum ruim, uma estética Tumblr muito ultrapassada. Além disso as músicas não são legais, e não trouxe nada inovador, não supera e nem vai superar o icônico 1989.

    Taylor Swift at her rock bottom. Lover has only about 5 good songs (the best highlight being false god and title track) but the rest is 1989 rejects and classic corny, cheesy Taylor. not good.

    this is definitely one of the most boring albums I've ever listend, and taylor's wort project. it's sad that there are some amazing songs like lover, soon you'll get better, afterglow and cruel summer, lost among a bunch of fillers and boring as hell songs.
    I'll never understand why there's 18 tracks on this album, when it could have easily been a 8 tracks ep. It's just a complete disappointment.

    Horrible and boring album, she’s so lazy and boring on productions, absolutely NO GOOD VOCALS AT ALL. HORRIBLE SINGING AND AUTOTUNE. TRASH AND LAZY AND BORING. Maybe if she wasn’t opening her legs for 40+ men her music might’ve been better, desperate nasty woman.

    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.
