Review

Taylor Swift, she’s one of a few global superstars of the music industry. Many have been to gigs, bought her albums, downloaded her songs. This adds to the memorabilia of her life. This book is fun for fans, especially her child fans to keep as it charts her rise to meteor success, tells a little about her life pre-stardom, which makes it a bit grounded and “real” and gives a timeline of events and songs.
There are nicely placed starry photos of Taylor Swift in action.

It’s a good mix of info and presentation throughout!

All in all, it’s a fun book for young Swifties.

Review

This is a must-have for Taylor Swift fans. This one is especially great for the tweens and teens, but there’s enough to also interest adults.
What’s your favourite Taylor Swift Song? Want to know more about Taylor Swift and more about those hidden “Easter eggs”? This is the book for you!
It becomes apparent all is covered in 3 parts in Taylor Swift Is Life:
“The Making of a Mastermind” covers her very early years, how she came to music and started in Country Music before switching to Pop and how this switch in styles helped her rise and rise in fame.
“Taylor-Made Music” treats fans to the hidden messages behind her songs. It feels an in-depth insight into the songs everyone hears all the time and includes her latest album – “The Tortured Poet Society.” The in-depth of study is fascinating in what it reveals and how it’s presented is engaging.
“Swiftology” is like an A-Z of Taylor Swift, including a horoscope so you can find out which song links to your star-sign, which is a bit of fun.

Over-all the book is well-presented and illustrated. It’s the time for Swifties to get the songs on and get an understanding of Taylor Swift like never before!
