    An excellent album that explores love in all its complexity, going through the sad, hard moments and feelings to the good, relaxed and warm ones; therefore having eighteen tracks in which the artist uses very well to tell good stories, very well detailed and enriched with killing productions and vocals. Also the album only contain three songs more than Reputation, Swift’s album from 2017.

    After the release of the first two singles, there was a belief that there would be a lack of lyrical strength, but Taylor did not disappoint.

'Lover' has everything, flawless production, and ponderous lyrics. Taylor talks up and close to her fans once again, but she also has less dense songs where she simply has fun. From crying to 'Soon You'll Feel Better,' dancing to 'ME!' and trying to find my English lover in 'London Boy,' this is one of the most cohesive yet having each track being completely unique.

    The aesthetic of the album is entirely different from her last masterpiece 'Reputation.' 'Lover' is full of color and brightness that shines through every single track. There is also an 80s vibe that perfectly fits the aesthetic of the album. Being the longest album that Taylor has released, some fans were concerned about the existence of 'skip' songs, but the fact is that 'Lover' has no skips.

    'Lover' is just another proof of the talent and power that Taylor holds as a singer and songwriter. She writes her own rules and is the absolute queen of the music industry, having the highest number in physical sales and streams. The only fact is that Taylor's raw honesty has allowed creating a bond with her fans, who will guarantee her success.    … Expand

    Welcome to Bridge City. This album takes her previous BEST ALBUM EVER, RED, to a whole new level. With songwriting that is true to the heart and production that absolutely slays, you won’t be disappointed when listening.

    For Lover album, Swift is being over dramatic and true as she sings in the title track "Lover", which makes this album the most listener-friendly one.

    Lover is her most complete album to date, exploring every corner of love, loss and resilience. Taylor's lyricism shines as always, but the complex and clever melodies and production details are right there with it. It's sonically cohesive without being monotonous, tied together thematically without being repetitive, and utterly original. Congratulations Taylor, we're all so proud of you.

IFYE reminds me of a certain model friend.. I've been listening to the whole album since its release still couldn't memorised the lyrics..

Um álbum sem muita força do que essa artista tem, as suas primeiras 6 músicas são muito 'arrastadas', não tem nenhum ponto alto, a faixa 7 "Miss Americana & The Heartbrak Prince" dá uma esperança de continuar a ouvir o álbum e ser constantemente bom e fluir como seu 4º e 5º álbuns de estúdio, porém a faixa subsequente decai novamente, na minha avaliação, achei que "afterglow" e "you need to calm down" são faixas contagiantes e que chamam a atenção do ouvinte, o restante é bastante morno, infelizmente ela vem decaindo do 1989 para cá!… Expand

    It sounds like Taylor is still in middle school. Very childish. Also, sound like she ripped off Hilary Duff. Hilary needs to sue her for copyright infringement. I wish her music reflected her age now. On her next album, I need more maturity, less 7 grader.

    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.
