    This album is brilliant. Starring a variety of carefully blended genres such as punk, pop and R&B, “Lover” flows brilliantly with effortless cohesion. However, the run-time weighs it down in some areas, rendering some tracks repetitive or boring. Even with it’s flaws, the album continues to shine.

    T Swift does it again! This album is amazing and I had fun listening to it over and over again. She really excels in making you feel the happiness, sadness or excitement she feels in a song. Soon you’ll get better broke me lol. It was so beautiful and simplistic. The harmonies!!!!

    Esse álbum faz a crescente carreira de Taylor voltar a estaca zero. É um retrocesso, dadas as músicas de temáticas vazias e infantis. Uma pena que as produções de Joel Little e Jack Antonoff tenham sido usadas a favor disso, mas nem mesmo esses produtores de calibre conseguiram salvar Swift de suas letras.

I can get behind her random support for the LGBTQ community, but I can’t forget how she was mute all through her career, and now suddenly she got a new colorful era and is an advocator. I give that note bc only 1 song for me is ok… Expand

    Lover sounds like Taylor's attempt to go back to her sound that get her lots of praise years ago, but unfortunately she falls flat on her feet. Her lyrics have gone down and now sound like something a high school student would write. The production is okay, Taylor's voice is okay, she's not a vocalist. What else can she bring to the table other than songwriting?

    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.

    Para taylor, tal vez fue un tanto dificil cambiar nuevamente su genero , esta vez pudo poner la musica acustica a su voluntad y no salia tan mal, puedes darle stream y darme la razon

    Perhaps her worst release yet. Try harder. Fans won't accept this subpar material for much longer before moving on.

    Perhaps her best work yet — diverse sounding yet still sonically cohesive. It is the best album for her right now and a breath of fresh air.

    As expected, this brings nothing new or exciting. The fanbase is however strong so it will be doing much better than it deserves. It will be all but forgotten in a couple of years' time

    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.    … 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.
