Taylor Swift Chronicles - Hardcover

by Lindsey Smith (Author)

Cultural phenomenon. Worldwide obsession. Queen for eras to come. This is the life, art, and legacy of Taylor Swift.

There has never been a phenomenon like Taylor Swift. But it is not just her music that makes her one of the most compelling figures in entertainment today. It is her big reputation full of generosity, compassion, connection to her fans, and business acumen that have made her so adored. Now, for the first time, Taylor's life is explored through all of these hats (including the 22 hat!)--as a singer, songwriter, musician, businesswoman, philanthropist, and friend--to create a chronicle of someone who is not just talented, but also clever and kind. Dear Readers can follow Taylor's journey through intriguing sidebars about her many kindnesses, infographics about her collaborators, and timelines following her tours and albums, as well as a fascinating and in-depth biography. Lavishly illustrated with rare images, original ephemera, and exclusive artwork, this book is a treasure for Swifties of any age, both OG and newly anointed tortured poets.

A GREAT APPRECIATION: Whether you know her entire discography and have obsessively watched every single interview ever recorded, or you are a newly anointed Swiftie, you'll find a deeper appreciation for Taylor through sidebars and deep cuts, celebrating her as both an artist and a person.

DARLING EASTER EGGS: What would a book about the Queen of Easter Eggs be if it didn't also include some for the most eagle-eyed Swiftie to find?

TAKE A DEEP STAGE DIVE with a prolific catalogue spanning multiple genres, explore the discography through stats and awards, deep cut collaborations, the heartbreaking Number 5 tracks, and more.

PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN with a look at Taylor's style, from her cowboy boots to her Louboutins.

STAY BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED: Original art infographics, rare photography, and illustrations help make this information both beautiful and so simple to understand.
