For the ultimate Swiftie, the ultimate guide to the world’s most revered pop culture icon and global music star.  Featuring fresh insights from all eleven studio albums—from Taylor Swift to The Tortured Poets Department—Taylor Swift: Album by Album mines her life, lyrics, and music like nothing else before it. This rich guide also features several chapters on all the Taylor’s Version albums released to date, with panel discussions from noted Swift scholars accompanied by vibrant photography that captures Swift in each and every era, from an aspiring country musician to the dominant global force she is today. Swift’s artistry, awards, and accolades are hard to encompass:  She is the youngest artist in history to have written and performed a No. 1 song on the Hot Country Songs chart (“Our Song”). She is the youngest person (19) to win Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards, and she has the most awarded album in country music history (“Fearless”). She was the youngest artist to ever win the Grammy for Album of the Year (20) until supplanted by Billie Eilish in 2020. She was the first recipient of Billboard’s Woman of the Decade award in 2019. She is the only artist to claim all top 10 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 in a single week. Swift’s ongoing relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce has catapulted her global status even higher, finding new fans and boosting her status even higher in the eyes of many of Swifties. Taylor Swift: Album by Album is more than just pretty pictures and pithy captions; it’s a door into how and why this talented musician continues to inspire fans from around the world. Young or old, OG or new Swiftie, this book has it all.
