    A great way to explore all the different facets of love that can be felt. We get the best and worst of times and feel every emotion we possibly can in an hour. Has a very nostalgic feeling to it.

Cada faixa é agradável aos ouvidos, sem exceções, o álbum passa uma vibe muito positiva e relaxante, além das letras bem construídas de acordo com cada faixa. O único problema é a identidade musical, que na maioria das faixas não se mostra presente, aquela característica única como em False God e Daylight, eles até se assemelham em alguns aspetos à algumas faixas de RED, portanto isso não diminui a qualidade do álbum, em quesitos de letras esse álbum é o filho de RED e 1989 onde se aplicam uma cobertura da faixa All Too Well em todas as faixas de Lover.… Expand

    This is another of Swift's highs, with very cohesive narrative in its fundamentals. Also, we have a nice romanticization of love, which always sees the light of day in its recent releases. "Lover" is about loving.

O amor romântico aparece de forma frequente, mas não oculta o amor maternal e o medo da perda na brilhante "Soon You'll Get Better" ou a narrativa pura de "It's Nice To Have A Friend".

    Best I’ve ever heard from her. Pure gold!! Highlight of her career! So happy to see she has stepped into the daylight and let it go.

    Her best album since Red. A rollercoaster of emotions. Amazing lyrics (as usual with her) and delightful production. Props to Jack Antonoff once again, lately I'm always finding him in my fav albums.
    Taylor is saving pop music

    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.
