    Cornelia Street, Lover, Daylight, I think he knows and Cruel Summer are masterpieces. Also a fan of Death by a thousand cuts and The Man

    one of the most romantic albums she's ever done... it also emphasises taylor's superiority to her fellow pop star's when it comes to her lyricism.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muito bom perfeito inovador amante perfeito sem condições pra esse álbum Eu já dei risada até a barriga doer,
    Já nadei até perder o fôlego,
    Já chorei até dormir
    E acordei com o rosto desfigurado.
    Já fiz cosquinha na minha irmã só pra ela parar de chorar,
    Já me queimei brincando com vela.
    Eu já fiz bola de chiclete e melequei todo o rosto.
    Já conversei com o espelho.
    E até já brinquei de ser bruxo.
    Já quis ser astronauta,
    Violonista, mágico, caçador e trapezista.
    Já me escondi atrás da cortina e esqueci os pés pra fora,
    Já passei trote por telefone,
    Já tomei banho de chuva,
    E acabei me viciando.
    Já roubei beijo,
    Já fiz confissões antes de dormir
    Num quarto escuro pro melhor amigo.
    Já confundi sentimentos,
    Peguei atalho errado
    E continuo andando pelo desconhecido.
    Já raspei o fundo da panela de arroz carreteiro,
    Já me cortei fazendo a barba apressado,
    Já chorei ouvindo música no ônibus.
    Já tentei esquecer algumas pessoas,
    Mas descobri que essas são as mais difíceis de se
    [esquecer.
    Já subi escondido no telhado pra tentar pegar estrelas,
    Já subi em árvore pra roubar fruta,
    Já caí da escada de bunda.
    Conheci a morte de perto,
    E agora anseio por viver cada dia.
    Já fiz juras eternas,
    Já escrevi no muro da escola,
    Já chorei sentado no chão do banheiro,
    Já fugi de casa pra sempre,
    E voltei no outro instante.
    Já saí pra caminhar sem rumo,
    Sem nada na cabeça, ouvindo estrelas.
    Já corri pra não deixar alguém chorando,
    Já fiquei sozinho no meio de mil pessoas
    Sentindo falta de uma só.
    Já vi pôr-do-sol cor-de-rosa e alaranjado,
    Já me joguei na piscina sem vontade de voltar,
    Já bebi uísque até sentir dormentes os meus lábios,
    Já olhei a cidade de cima
    E mesmo assim não encontrei meu lugar.
    Já senti medo do escuro,
    Já tremi de nervoso,
    Já quase morri de amor,
    Mas renasci novamente pro ver o sorriso de alguém [especial. Já acordei no meio da noite E fiquei com medo de levantar. Já apostei em correr descalço na rua, Já gritei de felicidade, Já roubei rosas num enorme jardim. Já me apaixonei e achei que era para sempre, Mas sempre era um "para sempre" pela metade. Já deitei na grama de madrugada E vi a Lua virar Sol, Já chorei por ver amigos partindo, Mas descobri que logo chegam novos, e a vida é mesmo um ir e vir sem razão. Foram tantas coisas feitas, Momentos fotografados pelas lentes da emoção. Guardados num baú, chamado coração. E agora um formulário me interroga, Encosta-me na parede e grita: "- Qual sua experiência?”. Essa pergunta ecoa no meu cérebro: "experiência... experiência...” Será que ser "plantador de sorrisos" é uma boa experiência? Não! ”Talvez eles não saibam ainda colher sonhos!”    … Expand

    solid pop album that clearly shows a grownt and maturement from Taylor Swift. it can halve some low moments like ME! or exhausting moments like paper rings, but in general it really conveys what shes telling: true love uplifts.

Taylor remains one of the greatest songwriters of our generation when she wrote beautiful tracks like "Lover", "Cornelia Street", and "Daylight" all by herself. This album is lovely, beautiful, colorful, happy, fun and emotional. "ME!", "IFTYE" and "INTHAF" are not a good songs at all in this album, so I give this a 8. and it should have been removed and replaced with a more beautiful track. In general, this album is the most monumental piece of work in 2019. More people should give this album a listen.… Expand

    Lover is a really lovely pop record. It makes you happy. However, it is a downgrade compared to her previous albums. Cruel Summer, Lover, Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince and False God are the most impressive songs on this project. Still, the album has more than one forgettable song and some BAD songs such as "ME!" or "It's Nice To Have A Friend":

Lover is an album that radiates positivity, which is why it has so many upbeat and pop-like beats, which could be seen as generic on the first listen, however, the truth is on the contrary. Taylor should be applauded for her incredible and wizard-like abilities of wordplay and storytelling, each song tells you something meaningful, whether it's gay rights, or empowering women or simply declaring her love in the most poetic way possible, we must not forget that Taylor is a storyteller of the highest ability. When I first listened to the album I thought that it was to "poppy", but the more I listened the more I realized that Lover is her coming out of her cage handcrafted by the men of the music industry (or in other words just called the music industry) and declaring what she has believed for years and most of it is portrayed positively, hence the positive music. Despite this, she isn't afraid to go deep when she talks about her mother's battle with cancer, which is one of the most beautiful tracks on the album, which I think anyone who has been through something like that can relate to word for word. The man, an ode to any woman out there showing that although you may be questioned for how clever you are or how you got to a place of power that if you were a man you would be told, "they'd say id hustled, put in the work, thy wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve." The whole song makes you slowly realize just how differently men are treated (if you haven't already realized) and in a way, the song decodes every harmful message that has ever been directed towards you as a woman and translates them into what would have been told to you if you were a man. Lover the title track, a masterpiece, however a song I wasn't a big fan of to start off with. This is a song, like many of Taylors, where you have to listen multiple times to realize the wordsmanship behind it, I believe with many of Taylor's songs, the music is just a vehicle for the most beautiful poem you have ever heard. To refine what I have said, Taylor Swift is saying something important you just have to listen and not judge her off of what the men in the industry have crafted her to be. She is the bard of the music industry.… Expand

    The album Lover can be, in its essence, one of the best albums of Taylor Swift's career, surpassing, right away, the quality of the previous one, Reputation.

    Lover is her best piece of work today, you can play the whole album and you won't get tired of it, Taylor release a personal, beautiful, and clear pop album, the lyrics are from a professional song writer, all the lyrics go beyond from the first listen, you need to read them to understand what she is saying, the references she uses are amazing, literally one of the best written albums ofLover is her best piece of work today, you can play the whole album and you won't get tired of it, Taylor release a personal, beautiful, and clear pop album, the lyrics are from a professional song writer, all the lyrics go beyond from the first listen, you need to read them to understand what she is saying, the references she uses are amazing, literally one of the best written albums of the decade.

    The production is sweet, puts you in the best mood, they work perfectly with the lyrics, it's a sweet production that is deep compared to her previous work.

    The album is long, but has 0 fillers, every song is perfect compared to the other songs, the thing that left many people wishing is the lack of heavy danceable pop songs like shake it off, yet it is perfect without them. She made a beautiful, perfect, amazing love letter to her lover.    … Expand

    It is a good album that reflects the qualities of Taylor Swift as a writer. The problem with ‘Lover’ is that it is too long, so the sequence in it is lost. It’s elegant but without reaching the sublime, it is certainly not her best attempt so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very good album for Taylor Swift, the best record of 2019. It is her most grown one yet and this is what makes it so special and unique. She also combined pop, country and love ballads into one album, which is not easy. The best songs are ‘Afterglow’, ‘Soon You’ll Get Better’ and ‘Cruel Summer’, although you might like some of the more pop ones like ‘Me!’, ‘You Need To Calm Down’ or ‘The Man’. There also are excellent love songs like ‘Lover’ and ‘Paper Rings’.… Expand

I fail to understand why so many people are criticising it, they overlook some really beautiful songs like Cornelia Street, London boy, paper rings etc. Lover has songs which sound upbeat and happy as well as songs with a sad background. If you listen to the album without the image of taylor swift the media has painted you will thoroughly enjoy it.… Expand

    Great album. This Taylor album has a lot of mixed emotions. The man is one of the songs as it explains how our society is. The lyrics are awesome and some songs have great instrumental. However, I don't like the pop on some songs and lyrics, "ME!" and "you need to calm down" basically have a not-so special meaning and the beat is too mainstream. Album is a roller coaster of emotions.

    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.
