that was supported by a "long, fancy pop-album roll-out" before she began using surprise album releases, starting with Folklore. Retrospective critical commentary has discussed ways Lover changed Swift's image and artistry from the antagonistic tone of Reputation. Mary Siroky of Consequence placed Lover last on her 2021 ranking of Swift's studio albums, saying; "It feels a bit too much like an unnecessary course correction from [Reputation], rather than a collection of themes Swift was really interested in pursuing". In a USA Today article commemorating Lover two-year anniversary, David Oliver and Hannah Yasharoff lamented the canceled tour and called the album Swift's "lost masterpiece" that represents her artistic maturity and autonomy. After its songs featured on the Amazon Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty in June 2022, Lover re-entered the Billboard 200 chart's top 40. "It's Nice to Have a Friend" featured prominently in the promotion of M3GAN, a 2023 horror film. On August 24, 2022, Billboard reported author Teresa La Dart alleged in a copyright infringement complaint filed on August 23 in a Tennessee federal court a number of creative elements of the companion book bundled with the deluxe CD editions of Lover were copied from La Dart's 2010 book, which is also titled Lover. The alleged similarities are the pastel aesthetic, a photograph "in a downward pose", and the book's diary format with "interspersed photographs and writings". La Dart's lawyer said Swift owes in "excess of one million dollars" in damages. Lawyers who spoke to Billboard said La Dart's case is "deeply flawed", that copyrights do not protect titles and formats of creative works, and that more than 12 other books titled Lover exist.
