Lover's Lounge live stream in 5 mins! exclusive performance, interview & Lover video

Y'all missing Taylor reading her diary entires xxxx

Listening now!

 

So far not great, IFYE is her worst opener and probably one of the most uninteresting songs she's done :(

 

Cruel Summer is awesome but the SS's overhyped this, its definitely not a HUGE smash hit

I'm gonna listen to the remaining 5 songs I have left after this live stream!

 

Someone play a drinking game with me for everytime she says 13 in this chat xx

The album was gonna be called daylight at one point but then she wrote Lover and made that the title!

Omg can this interview with Stella end, yay they've made merch together but omg this is so dull 😂😂 at least we're not assigning characters from cats to her albums anymore 😂

The Middle 8 of The Man is incredible.

 

Would you like to worry about drinkin' and dollars?

And getting bitches and models?

And it’s so good if you're bad

And it's okay if you're mad

If I was out flashing my dollars I'd be a bitch not a baller

They'd paint me out to be bad

So, it's okay that I'm mad

Got the live stream on now!! wtf is this interview :')

Got the live stream on now!! wtf is this interview :')

Bish you missed 90% of that torture xxx tf it's FINALLY over

The lover album cover shoot showing how many possible BETTER pics we could've had as the artwork x

I still like the artwork! :(

 

 

I still like the artwork! :(

It's grown on me tbh but ahhh still some of those shots looked stunning!!

And the performance is of... the archer

 

It's rly nice and a v good performance but I wanted it to be an unreleased track 😂

I Think He Knows is a big fat NO. I understand why all the SS dragged it to the pits.

 

The Man though :o I hope its a single at point, might even prefer it to Cruel Summer!

Cornelia street is a masterpiece and I am an emotional wreck after soon you'll get better <3

I Forgot That You Existed - is a bop but I can see why ppl aren't liking this, def not album opener worthy haha.

It's Nice To Have A Friend - it's interesting, idk why i low-key find this black mirror-ish. It's cute but kinda feels interlude-ish ngl! Tho I am also glad it's not cringe-y af.

Cornelia Street - INCREDIBLE AHHHHH. This is so reminiscent of so many of her best songs and I LOVE LOVE LOVE <3

Soon You'll Get Better - christ I am in tears. ahhh <3 <3 I love DC's parts on the harmonies with Taylor and the lyrics omg :heart:

Daylight - It's really nice and def a gorgeous album closer! will I return to it loads tho, idk. I love it so much in the context of the album tho and it's a PERFECT closer

Immediate thoughts first listen album ranking, will be interesting to see how this changes overtime:

 

Perfection:

1) The Man

2) Cornelia Street

3) I Think He Knows

4) Cruel Summer

 

Amazing:

5) Me! (I mean it's probs tops rn cos I've gone back to it SO much but ik the other 4 are gonna overttake)

6) Paper Rings

7) Lover

8) Soon You'll Get Better

 

I fully stan:

9) Afterglow (This and MA&THP will easily be in amazing with a couple more listens)

10) Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince

11) You Need To Calm Down

12) The Archer

13) Daylight

 

Really good:

14) I Forgot That You Existed

15) Death By A Thousand Cuts

16) It's Nice To Have A Friend

17) False God

 

Filler:

18) London Boy

First listen AHHHHH

 

 

I Forgot You Existed - meh, I get what she's going for but it just doesn't work :(

Cruel Summer - LUSHHH, it's one of those effortless pop songs that does so much with so little :wub:

Lover - obviously stunning, it just keeps growing!!!

The Man - THE PRODUCTION OMG, love this *.* Soooo fierce

The Archer - I just can't just get into this past being nice, I should love it more but... idk I don't :( It's growing a little in the context of the album at least

I Think He Knows - this bops but it's a bit too "old Taylor" to have gone down really well, the chorus goes OFF tho *.*

Miss Americana - this is like if Halsey did 1989, I'm so here for it

Paper Rings - yeah..... no, it is stuck in my head though so I can imagine I'm gonna end up liking it :lol:

Cornelia Street - STUNNING, this is gonna lowkey be a fave I think

Death By A Thousand Cuts - I was kinda bored but the middle 8 slays, I can see this being forgettable filler when all's said and done

London Boy - "darling I fancy you" I CAN'T STOP CRINGING, the production is kinda cute but nah this is a pass

Soon You'll Get Better - vocallsssss, beautifully simple song and it's lovely to hear something like this from her again :wub:

False God - the production is nice I guess but I've forgotten about this already lmao

You Need To Calm Down - I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as people make out but it's NO WAY a single, that hits home so much more when you hear the likes of Cruel Summer and The Man and then this

Afterglow - nice, could be a grower

Me! - still love this idc, but like YNTCD why on EARTH did they release this when The Man and Cruel Summer were right there

It's Nice To Have A Friend - cute enough I guess

Daylight - nice again, feels like the exact right closer for this album!

 

Cruel Summer, The Man and Lover are the holy trinity :wub: There's a few I know will grow too. The second half has a few forgettable tracks so it'll be interesting to see if they grow and stand out a bit more with further listens.

 

Ranking:
