An Honest Review of "Lover" | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

I'm a BIG Taylor Swift fan but I mean who isn't? I've been following her since her first album, seen her in concert a few times, the whole big fan thing. This year she released her seventh studio album on August 23rd. Now that the album has been out for a little while and I've really had the chance to listen to it, here's what I honestly think about Taylor Swift's new album, "Lover".

I've noticed that since "Red", her 2013 album, was released she has completely blown up and there's no doubt why. Her music is so relatable to everyone no matter your situation. I will admit this album isn't my favorite but it does have some great bops.

The album starts with "I Forgot That You Existed" which I could jam to all day. Great choice to start the album with. It's super upbeat and fun. The next three songs to follow are also hits with "Cruel Summer", "Lover", and "The Man".

I know everyone loves this entire album and I don't disagree but there are a few songs I like more than others scattered throughout the 18 songs. Those songs include, "I Think He Knows", "Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince", "Paper Rings", and "Soon You'll Get Better".

The hits that we've heard on the radio so far are "ME!" and "You Need To Calm Down" are actually at the end of the album which is very unlike Taylor's usual format. I'm not mad about it though because it gives a good pick-me-up at the end of the album.

While I said this isn't my favorite album of Taylor's I give her a lot of credit for her creation. This is the first time she's taken a political step in her music and I love it. She should be able to share her opinion in her music and take a stand for what she believes in.

You've done it again, girl! Great album as always.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
