    lover might be the album that fits taylor’s personality the most while also showing how much she’s grown. everything about this album is perfect: the songs, the aesthetic, the merch... they’re all flawless! daylight is the perfect closure to the album and everything feels right with it. afterglow is marvelous. cruel summer is amazing. cornelia street is magnificent. death by a thousandlover might be the album that fits taylor’s personality the most while also showing how much she’s grown. everything about this album is perfect: the songs, the aesthetic, the merch... they’re all flawless! daylight is the perfect closure to the album and everything feels right with it. afterglow is marvelous. cruel summer is amazing. cornelia street is magnificent. death by a thousand cuts is fantastic. the archer is beautiful. the man is brilliant. and the other songs are as good as those, but these are the highlights of lover. this album is taylor’s essence and soul, it’s pure and genuine taylor at its best. i will never get over how perfectly flawless and impecable this album is. i’ll always love it and have it as one of my top favorites.

    This is my rank of Taylor’s albums so far:

    1st: Lover & 1989 (I can’t decide between them)
    2nd: Speak Now & reputation (I can’t decide between them as well)
    3rd: RED
    4th: Fearless
    5th: Self-Titled Album (“Taylor Swift”)

    I still don’t know about “folklore”. I have to listen to it more to decide where to put it, but it wouldn’t be in 1st or 2nd place.    … Expand

    This album has some of the best songs in her discography such as Cornelia street and daylight, but also some of her worst such as ME!. ME! is a song I enjoy and like but its production is very childish but after watching miss Americana I understand why. This album is great, its messages and production + the lyrics (for most), make the album an amazing score of 9.5/10.

    This is one of Taylor Swift’s best albums and a glorious comeback after her slightly disappointing previous album. This album seems to be one of the first times she talks about being in love rather than just recently being out of love.

    After the 2017 album reputation, I was questioning Taylor’s Swift’s songwriting and if she lost her touch. This album proves she can still tell her stories and give pop hits.

    She is indeed the queen... of payola and promotion. She uses her white privilege and sympathy to make her fanbase drag other artists and people. This album is generic trash. Its a NO NO from me.

    Such a fun pop album. There are some songs I wish they'd never added (ME!, Paper Rings, You Need To Calm Down, False God) so the sound of all them together was a little more cohesive.

    · Cruel Summer
    · Lover
    · The Archer
    · Death by a Thousand Cuts
    · Soon You'll Get Better

    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

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

    Just having noticed this was her most critically-acclaimed album to date, I gave it a listen and was appalled at the rating. She is in her 30s, a grown woman, and was more mature at age 15.

    The lyrics are embarrassing and tone-deaf; she waited over a decade to make any kind of sociopolitical statement (or any statement at all, in fact, that wasn’t directly pertaining to her being victimized and purportedly wronged by the public, other famous women and her string of exes alike), and her contribution? “YOU NEED TO CAAAALM DOWN, YOU'RE BEING TOOOO LOUD.” If only
    Taylor took her own highly patronizing advice and shut her offkey mouth.

    And, unsurprisingly, the lead single, “Me!” is another juvenile egocentric embarrassment, as observed via the title alone. There’s a very good reason she stopped winning Grammys as of her two most recent records; the whining child persona is not charming, and content remains as dull as Swift herself. Her only saving grace thus far has been decent lyrics, so given she is perpetually 30 going on 13, it appears her expiration date has finally arrived.    … Expand

    Lover juega con la ambigüedad, de momentos trata de atrapar al publico mas joven con sus tonos pastel y coloridos videos, y en otros desea mostrar madurez con letras mas profundas como en “Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince”, pero vuelve a caer en la redundancia que ha venido repitiendo en sus tres trabajos anteriores, aplicando a su confiable e infalible dramatismo romántico y desesperado en Lover, “The Archer”, “London Boy”; con letras que esperaríamos de una romántica poeta adolescente y no una mujer madura y consciente en la lucha feminista. Demás esta nombrar su himno feminista “The Man”, que bien podría considerarse como una de las mayores decepciones en cuanto liricas de parte de Swift, frases como “’Cause if I was a man, Then I would Be The Man” son repetidas en torno al estribillo con una producción brillante pero desperdiciada para una canción mediocre...".

    "... La Titan el Pop conoce bien la industria, y con Lover refleja la formula que ya hemos visto en reiteradas ocasiones; si algo funciona, repítelo hasta que deje de ser rentable. Siendo la misma Swift la usual escritora y compositora, vemos un resultado que ha venido explotando desde “1989” y “Red” (su álbum crossover al género del pop), como también intentado de imitar y emular -hasta el cansancio- tal éxito pero esta vez con un logro moderado por el desgastado modelo pop pegajoso. Si bien el álbum en su totalidad muestra un desempeño agradable y resalta en cuanto a producción musical. La misma Swift sobrecarga su propio ambiente y hace de Lover... ".

    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":

    And it’s clear that she only made it for sales and out of desperation.

    As a whole, very boring: nothing new... but will help you sleep! Not much diversity. But songs like Lover and You need to calm down, speak by themselves.

    "Lover" is solid Taylor Swift pop. Pretty, emotional, and intoxicatingly cathcy. Cut out 3 or 4 filler tracks and it would surely be a 10.

    Very generic. Not many unique words. Too many tracks. Nothing memorable. A new low point for a seemingly unstoppable star.

    Taylor Swift gives us a taste into how it feels to love on her latest album. The record includes her most unique production to date. That combined with the love-able lyrics and empowering messages creates yet another exciting body of work from the singer.

    Taylor mostrou novamente a sua capacidade em composição, demonstrou mais uma vez com as palavras os seus medos, problemas pessoais e agora novamente e mais explicito o seu caráter critico (socialmente falando), é um album para se escutar e pensar sobre a sua vida como um individuo e sobre a sociedade em si, no que as palavras refletem, é um album angelical como a simples porém majestosa capa reflete.    … Expand

    This is a fantastic album, Taylor did it again as always. Killing lyrics and catchy melody and the beat and the production……it's all just perfect. When ME! came out I thought this may be weak but Taylor girl you proved me WRONG!!! Lover deserves all the compliments and awards!!! It's just so glad to see her finally out of the woods and be happy again!!!

    Why do the critics hate this woman so much? I want to start by saying that there is absolutely no reason why this album should not have AT LEAST scored an 80. Taylor Swift is easily one of the best songwriters of her generation, and that is exemplified in this album, especially in songs like The Man, Cornelia Street, and Cruel Summer.

    With mind-numbingly inoffensive highs and condescendingly childish lows, Lover is a long, seemingly pointless endeavour into thematically light but murkily familiar territory, making for a remarkable step down even after the underwhelmingly shallow reputation.
    Favourite track: The Archer
    Worst tracks: ME!, I Forgot That You Existed, You Need To Calm Down, London Boy

    Lover could be seen as an album with a mixture of heartfelt songs with a few songs shoved in for the sole purpose of comprising an album, and although I'm a massive Taylor Swift fan this is what I first thought, however, I urge you to listen again.

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

    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).

    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.
