I'm one of those people who's heard every single one of Taylor Swift's albums. When she released "ME!" and "You Need To Calm Down" however, I was underwhelmed. "Lover," Swift's seventh full-length studio album, proved those first impressions wrong. Here are 22 lyrics that'll sell you on all the fun, sweet, sad, and loving sides of "Lover."
