    Girl you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised but I know who you are, I’ve seen it up close and personal. Girl you make me so proud and I love you.

    Taylor Swift proves again that knows pop music more than any of her peers by creating an album about the complexity of love,from the opening track you can understand that she is more confident and happy than ever.

    Lover may not sound totally unheard of, but it comes from a very different Taylor from all other albums, and that's what makes this album so amazing that it floods us with its deepest feelings. A few times an album has shown so much about a person's heart, and Lover does it perfectly!

    Roller coaster of emotions, mature and well created. Taylor keeps reinventing herself after 7 albums, which admirable.

    This is album of the year. Lover is the absolute best of 2019. Taylor once again proves she is still a great songwriter and can sing with such raw emotion in her voice. Not once does she come across as boring. While first two singles were pretty good, the rest of the songs on the album are honestly way better. It was obvious she was saving the best for the full album listening. AThis is album of the year. Lover is the absolute best of 2019.

A bulk of the album has fun and poppy production, bubbly hooks, but she also adds in mature and emotional themes. Lover could possibly be another future classic pop album by Taylor Swift.… Expand

    This is a very solid pop album, never expected that after awful lead single. Seriously ME! should be deleted or erased from the record. Speaking of the music production and instrumental, they are surprisingly weird, unique but very refreshing. Lyrically, it's a classic Swiftian.

    Lover is one of the best album ms released this year! The 18 songs are really nice. Lyrically and sonically it’s her best work till date! Lover is a must listen and definitely deserves the AOTY title.

    Es un gran álbum con una excelente producción y composición. Va en contra del sexismo y de la homofobia pero, sobretodo, muestra facetas del amor poco exploradas/conocidas por la mayoría de las personas,

    best album of 2019 HANDS DOWN. this album is the most raw and vulnerable you will ever witness taylor have with boppy songs literally ending sexism with “The Man” to very raw songs like “Soon You’ll Get Better” being a song about her mother getting cancer. this album is simply amazing and has a song for everyone in it!

    There's a little bit of everything Taylor Swift has done from her past albums: from her roots in country pop until her current electropop phase. She remained one of the best songwriters of all time, even though some cringey lyrics were unavoidable. She's taken out some lyrics too, but it didn't make up.

    Another thing that's wrong is in the production, or to be detailed, it's in the mastering. The unsteadiness of audio levels in several songs made one technical flaw, and it's fatal. Even her late project 1989 that considered a loud album executed it better.

    Frankly, her songwriting and the production didn't intertwine faultlessly.    … Expand

    as usual, ms Swift snapped again with an album she wrote herself and still had the balls to make it perfect sayin about themes like machism, homophobia and etc

    It's the only album that I've heard in full from Taylor Swift, and it's pretty good! However it's first two singles are kinda childish for me. But "The Archer" and "Lover" are so beautiful songs ("Lover" is my favorite from this album).

    Ela finalmente encontrou esse amor e, como prometido, escreveu um disco sobre ele. Não é o álbum da Taylor que mais explora sua criatividade, mas certamente é o disco que ela queria e precisava fazer no momento atual de sua vida. "The Man", "Cruel Summer" e "Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince" são borrachas que apagam qualquer resquício de dúvida quanto ao "Lover" ser um bom álbum, causado principalmente pelo lançamento de "Me!" como lead single.

    No geral, o sétimo álbum de Taylor só comprova o que sempre achei sobre ela. Seu trunfo sempre foi e sempre será suas composições. Muitos artistas recorrem a grandes produtores para salvarem suas canções com produções mirabolantes, mas Taylor poderia facilmente lançar um disco inteiro apenas voz e violão, pois suas letras valem por tudo.

    "Lover" fala sobre o amor em suas várias facetas, e por isso facilmente terá canções atemporais. Afinal, o que mais atemporal do que o amor?

    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.
