Encyclopaedic in its scope, this is the ultimate tribute to the
life and music of Taylor Swift. No need for glossy images here, the
narrative says it all - a chronological account of her mercurial
rise to fame; the stories that inspire the songs; an in-depth look
at those much-publicised battles with the media, music industry and
fellow artists, and all recounted with well-chosen words from the
artist herself and dozens of others who have played a part in her
incredible story. Put together, we have the definitive record. If
not already a fan, reading this may very well change your opinion.
"I really do try to be a nice person...but if you break my heart,
hurt my feelings, or are really mean to me, I'm going to write a
song about you" This is how Taylor Swift once explained the meaning
behind one of her earliest songs. Never one to mince her words when
it comes to sharing her thoughts, she has achieved legendary status
in the music world with a career built largely on her personal
feelings, ever since the day one particular teenage boy made her
cry. Now barely into her third decade, her songs have taken her
fans on an emotional journey that encompasses both the elation of
young love and the heartbreak of fallen relationships. As always,
fame courts controversy, and Taylor has had her fair share -
long-standing feuds with fellow artists; harrowing claims of sexual
harassment; deeply personal accusations over her own authenticity,
and those headline-making, all-too public breakups with a catalog
of celebrity lovers - all subjects covered in detail within these
pages. This book strips away the sometimes-mythical veneer of
superstardom and lays bare the real Taylor as the songwriting
genius she was born to be; a young woman who, after all, is as
human as the rest of us, doing amazing things as well as making
incredible gaffes. But with dogged determination and staying true
to herself, she has been able to drive her own destiny. Love her or
hate her (maybe, better to love her), she has inspired a generation
of young fans across the globe, not only with her music, but with
heartfelt words of wisdom. Taylor's girl-next-door public image
remains intact, at least for now, and she stands firm by one of her
own mantras: "No matter what happens in life, be good to people.
Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind". For a
simple good lesson in life, that ain't bad.
