‘Lover’ (2019)

This breezy title tune from 2019's Lover is a stylized slice of 60s Americana that has been released in a variety of remixes that fall short of the original's casual air. Taylor confesses that "Lover" came swiftly, and there's something about its waltz-like easy-come, easy-go charm that elevates it above the rest of the album (arguably her best and certainly her strongest pop record). "Lover" was rightfully included on several of the year's finest song lists.
