History YMMV / Lover

* EnsembleDarkHorse:
** "Cruel Summer" wasn't made a single due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and wasn't performed at her concert in Paris, but it's undoubtedly one of the most popular songs on the album, to the point where it returned to the Billboard Hot 100 four years after its initial release due to its prominent early position in The Eras Tour setlist. This led Swift to release it as a single nearly 4 years after the album was released, after which it became one of her biggest hits ever.
** "Soon You'll Get Better" is held by many critics and fans as one of the best songs of the album, possibly in Swift's entire career despite its more simplistic production and the fact that Swift states that she will not perform the song live for the foreseeable future.
*** She ended up performing it live later during the COVID-19 pandemic charity concert ''Together at Home'' and is widely considered one of, if not the, best performance of the concert.
** "All of the Girls You've Loved Before" started out as a leak track. The song was so beloved by fans that she released it as a bonus track.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The music video for "ME!" starts off relatively normal, but then comes the (literal) kaleidoscope heart, the marching band, Taylor being in the rain in a liquid dress... ItMakesSenseInContext, honest!

** The entire "Cruel Summer" lyrics are especially unfortunate under the wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic, forcing Taylor to scrap her Lover Fest tour and most likely scrap the release of the song as a single:

** In the wake of Taylor and her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn - the primary inspiration for the album, breaking up, a lot of the songs in the album about their relationship and how much she valued it (especially "The Archer", "Cornelia Street", "I Think He Knows", "London Boy", "Paper Rings", "False God", "All of the Girls You Loved Before", and the title track) became especially hard to listen to.

*** "Lover", "Paper Rings" and "I Think He Knows" are especially harsh since they are songs about her expressing her desire to get engaged and married to Joe. The lyrics of "You're Losing Me" imply that she wanted to get married to Alwyn but he did not.
