Lover! It’s alright, there are some okay moments on this album but in whole I just am not a fan. There’s really high points, my favorite songs are Death By A Thousand Cuts (Beautiful lyricism and Piano moments), I Think He Knows (The superior version of Lavender Haze), Paper Rings (Reminds me of Avril Lavigne’s song Girlfriend, they have almost the exact same production to me), Afterglow (The drums are very appealing to me in this song) But then the rest of the songs are either bad or fly under the radar. I Forgot That You Existed (Feels more like an Ariana Grande song than anything Taylor Would write), Cornelia Street (I don’t see the hype over this one, it has a very odd production to me), The Archer (It’s just so boring I’m sorry, I get why it doesn’t have a beat drop but it would’ve been so better with one), It’s Nice To Have A Friend (My least favorite Taylor song of all time, creepy, hard to understand, and I really just don’t get what’s appealing about this song in any way), False God (This song bores me and is right down there in Least Favorites with INTHAF)
Obviously my thoughts about this album are not confined by just the album, but the era itself too. I really like it! It’s not my favorite, but some of that might be due to the fact that this era was unfortunately cut short. Her live performances were alright vocally, and the outfits were obviously not too elaborate leading up to the unfortunately cancelled Lover Fest 💔.
BUT there’s other songs from the Lover era that I am a lover of (And I’m not talking about All Of The Girls, but that is a great song)
IM TALKING ABOUT MY GIRL BEAUTIFUL GHOSTS, SHE IS MY UNDERRATED QUEEN I LOVE HER SHE IS GIVING ME MUSICAL THEATRE REALNESS AND I AM LIVING FOR IT.
All in all, Lover sits at a comfortable 6th at my ranking, despite me being so critical. But I still love her
