    Amazing. A masterpiece showing her love for Joe Alwyn in up beat, pop songs and sad, slow songs. The inclusion of an intimate song close to Taylor, Soon You'll Get Better shows her through rough times but the inclusion of "ungodly" words really helps you to know that Taylor Swift is more mature than she ever was.

    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.

    Is Lover Taylor Swift’s best album to date? The simple answer is “absolutely, yes!” Nostalgia may make us feel guilty to rank her new album above her older, beloved masterpieces. But this album not only contains her strongest vocals to date and her most adventurous musical choices to date (“False God,” “It’s Nice to Have a Friend”), but it takes the best aspects of her four previous albumsIs Lover Taylor Swift’s best album to date? The simple answer is “absolutely, yes!” Nostalgia may make us feel guilty to rank her new album above her older, beloved masterpieces. But this album not only contains her strongest vocals to date and her most adventurous musical choices to date (“False God,” “It’s Nice to Have a Friend”), but it takes the best aspects of her four previous albums (Speak Now, Red, 1989, reputation) and combines them into one LP - making Lover both a step forward for her sound and a cumulative celebration of the road that lead her here. The album contains all the reasons for why we listen to a Swift album - heartbreaking ballads ala Speak Now (“Soon You’ll Get Better”), candid portraits of self-reflection ala reputation (“The Archer”), intimately written love songs ala Red (“Lover”), and sundrenched, carefree 80’s synthpop ala 1989 (“Cruel Summer”). She took the best parts of her career, combined them with a newfound confidence and sense of comfort in her own skin, and made — so far — her greatest work to date.… Expand

    I think Taylor will always overcome herself. She flawlessly can write an entire album talking about love without making it look cliche or quaint.

    Another masterpiece created, maybe not all the album is innovative but songs like False God, Is Nice To Have A Friend show another side of Taylor's creativity.

    Fãs mimados que não conseguem aceitar notas boas em álbuns de outras artistas. Esse tipo de gente estraga o artista.

    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.

    Lover is an album very Taylor Swift, but an improved Swift. The lyrics sometimes could be a little childish but put the idea behind in a smart way.
    Some songs don't fit well in the album,in a large album but also it's easy to listen to.

    I feel so bad for underrating Reputation because of Look what you made me do, because that album had so many good songs... This album is personally for me much better than Reputation. Ultimate favorite is the title track.

    Miss Taylor presents her seventh album after trying to clean her image with "reputation" brings us an album full of happiness and love but not only for a couple but for family, friends and anyone else, great lyrics and bubblegum pop production

    It's a beautiful visual and melodically speaking album. The lyrics are a draw apart. However, the impression you have is that you are hearing the same thing from beginning to end.

    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.
