Taylor Swift Fanbook - 7th. Edition
Taylor Swift Fanbook - 6th. Edition
Follow Taylor Swift’s rise from teen breakthrough act to global superstar in this ultimate fanbook. As one of the world’s biggest stars – voted both Artist of the Decade and Woman of the Decade – Taylor Swift’s career goes from strength to strength. After two critically acclaimed surprise lockdown albums, the new versions of Fearless, Red and Speak Now, and her record‑breaking tenth album Midnights, it’s been a busy few years for Miss Swift. But Taylor shows no sign of slowing down any time soon, as she continues the monumental Eras Tour in celebration of her entire career so far. In this special edition, we look back on how Taylor’s music and style have evolved over the years, from her self‑titled country-infused debut, through the retro 80s vibe of 1989, to the stripped‑back indie of folklore and evermore and the dreamy electro-pop of Midnights. Discover how her relationships and personal life have shaped her songwriting and performances, and how this superstar uses her influence to support causes close to her heart.This edition has been updated for 2024, including an all-new Eras chapter.
