Lover is Taylor Swift's best album since Red

on “Soon You’ll Get Better,” featuring the Dixie Chicks. But it also feels like a statement of purpose from a mature and singular musician, a more comfortable and flexible album than’s cohesion, levity, and considered sonic choices tie together a lot of the best impulses in recent pop, in a way that feels like a road map for the genre’s survival if anyone wants to follow Swift’s lead.

Here, she’s adapting to that new pop landscape enthusiastically. Most of the music that established her as a bona fide pop artist, from “I Knew You Were Trouble” towho took the existing structures of her songs and augmented them with the bombast he made his name on. Martin is nowhere to be found onand it productively pushes her out of her comfort zone. Now signed to Republic Records, she’s dipped into their deep well of talent in interesting ways.

She’s one of the best pop lyricists our era has produced, and the album abounds with couplets and fun internal rhymes that prove it. She elevates a common pop sentiment in the bridge of “I Forgot That You Existed”: “Sent me a clear message / Taught me some hard lessons / I just forgot what they were / It’s all just a blur.
