Taylor Swift's Lover: Star turns a corner with 'upbeat' but 'baggy' album
While the highly-anticipated album offers evidence that Swift is"a better songwriter than any of her competitors in the upper echelons of pop", Alexis Petridis wrote that it's padded out with"lightweight" songs.Rolling Stone's Nick CatucciHe continued:"But nevertheless it feels like an epiphany: free and unhurried, governed by no one concept or outlook, it represents Swift at her most liberated, enjoying a bit of the freedom she won for her cohort.
In the liner notes, Swift wrote that"the album is a love letter to love itself - all the captivating, spellbinding, maddening, devastating red, blue, gray, golden aspects of it ". The Guardian's Petridis wrote:"Lover's highlights come when Swift ignores the outside world, whether that's politics, public image or the desire to reassert her pop dominance."
It is"easily her most upbeat and romantically smitten album", according to Variety's Chris Willman."As she narrows in on 30, Swift is looking to prove that love is something she does even better than revenge."
