    Don't get me wrong but Reputation and Lover is her worst album. We want the old Taylor back. This albums has so many skips and corny lyrics. Also she's milking so many dramas it's getting annoying. 1989 is still her best album. I'm a swiftie btw

    You’d enjoy if if you mute the volume. Aren’t we over these generic, repetitive, boring songs that use serious topics just to get the word out (for the song not about the topic)

    Meh. Gave it a 1 cause it’s at least better than reputation. She needs to go back to that beautiful country/indie/alternative/pop sound that she created with Red, Speak Now. Besides a few exceptions, her pop songs sound forced, awkward, overproduced. And her lyrics get hidden behind the heavy production.

    Trash. Utter trash. I think I’d rather listen to my alarm for 8hrs straight than this crap. Shows absolutely zero growth as an artist and her vocals are painful to hear. Someone tell this girl that she can’t sing because clearly she doesn’t understand that

    Maybe this album didn’t really deserve a 0 but... this album was a gunshot to the record that was reputation and instead of continuing that growth it was a poor attempt to make pop music.

You need to Calm down is the definition of queer baiting especially dyeing your hair the bisexual flag when you aren’t bisexual. That’s inappropriate. Afterglow is a wannabe deep track that gets it lyrics from a tumblr post by a woman named Sharon who runs a soccer moms club.And I’m really sorry ME! didn’t make the cut for the trolls movie :( It’s nice to have a friend has a literal children’s choir which is probably why it’s the best on the album. They did what you tired to do. Final track, daylight. Maybe one day when you don’t rip off smaller artists you’ll get why this is so bad. Overall a genre less album and not in the good way. A skip. A mess. Expand

    The sound is way too generic, there is nothing innovative about this album, it will probably be forgotten in about 3 months.

She'd already said she is dead. Probably the new Taylor forgot the taste of her guitar and piano. All she wanted to give us are songs decorated with electronic instruments.

    It’s just another bubblegum pop girl album. While it may be thematically vulnerably In lyrics, it just fails to be different from her previous albums. The style of beats and overlaying are overused and not that pleasing, they’re more for a one time use for an aesthetic Instagram video and that’s it.

    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.
