Into the Taylor-Verse: Taylor Swift's Songwriting Eras

A beautifully illustrated, comprehensive collectible for Swifties everywhere that offers an overview of Taylor Swift's life and work, including hidden references for fans to discover in a stunning, giftable package.

Into the Taylor-Verse is an inventive, deeply detailed appreciation of Taylor Swift's songwriting prowess, her incomparable live performances, and the themes of adolescence and adulthood she's detailed so lovingly throughout the different eras of her career from her Fearless to Midnights. This book explores her prolific discography, as well as her worldwide tours, her phoenix-like rise from the ashes to reclaim her music publishing rights, and most importantly of all, her Swifties.

In the way that Taylor's music helps fans to understand their own emotional response to heartbreak and first love, this book seeks to help fans understand why Taylor's music affects them more than any other artist. The story told through her work is the universal story of growing from a girl into a woman, the joy, heartbreak, demoralization, and finally, regrowth and maturity that every fan can relate to no matter their age.

This book emulates the joy of Taylor's music with creative sidebar content, such as a playlist of her songs that are NOT about boys, an all-important timeline of her hairstyles, biographies of her cats, a deep-dive into the significance of the number thirteen, and so much more.

Into the Taylor-Verse is a must-have primer on Taylor for any new Swiftie, telling the stories behind her songs and guiding them to listen more deeply to her extensive back catalogue, while also being a lush examination of the meaning behind the songs that are so important to readers who are already dedicated fans.
