Why ‘Lover’ Is the Ultimate Taylor Swift Album

Rob Sheffield on why 'Lover' is the career-topping masterpiece Taylor Swift needed to make

. When I was a little boy, I’d look at Carole King’s wise eyes on the cover ofand ponder all the adult pain she sang about — but Carole was only 29, the age Taylor is now.as of right now — it will keep changing for weeks to come — is “Cornelia Street.” It’s basically the same plot as “Holy Ground” — a girl in New York City, surrounded by a city that reminds her of a boy she misses before he’s even gone. But it’s from a totally different emotional perspective.

“Lover” begins with her trademark Sad Taylor guitar in the Mazzy Star mode, then turns out to be not sad at all, but a ballad of a long-running ever-evolving adult relationship, without any compromise of her extra extra-ness. When Taylor sings, “I swear to be overdramatic and true,” her vow isbelievable. “Lover” has sent me back to all her Mazzy Swift ballads over the years, which means “Last Kiss” has been currently re-ruining my life on an hourly basis.
