It’s hard not to fall in love with Taylor Swift’s new album, Lover. Since its premiere, Lover shattered both personal and industry records for the artist, raking in millions of Spotify streams. Will Lover outsell Swift’s last album, Reputation, and single, “Look What You Made Me Do?” Here’s what we know.
‘Lover’ will be the first album that Taylor Swift owns
Fans of Taylor Swift can’t calm down. With 18 songs, Lover is Taylor Swift lengthiest album to date. The artist traded dark themes for a bright rainbow of colors, showcased in songs like “Me.” Of course, some fans noticed how far of a departure this album is from her last full-length record, Reputation. During an interview with Vogue Magazine, Taylor Swift discussed the important place in her career that this album holds.
“There are so many ways in which this album feels like a new beginning. This album is really a love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory,” Swift said.
Due to her feud with Scooter Braun, the artist no longer has the rights to all of her old music. But don’t worry. During an interview with Good Morning America, the artist confirmed that she will re-record her older albums. As for now, Lover is the only album owned by Taylor Swift herself.
