In a four-star review of the original version of ‘Lover’, NME wrote: “At 18 tracks long, ‘Lover’ is more sprawling and further from flawless than her 2014 pop crossover ‘1989’. But it succeeds in spite of its clunkier moments because Swift’s melodies are frequently dazzling and her loved-up lyrics are ultimately quite touching.”
Swift followed up the record with her 2020 sister albums ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’, before releasing her 10th studio effort ‘Midnights’ last October.
Meanwhile, the star is set to head out on her 2023 North American ‘Eras Tour’ next month. Swift recently confirmed that rehearsals for the upcoming stadium concerts were underway.
