Taylor Swift by the Book: The Literature Behind the Lyrics, from Fairy Tales to Tortured Poets

Another artfully crafted book from Rachel Feder! What a skillful collaboration this time! Loved it!!!

I was looking forward to this book for MONTHS & my hard copy was running late being delivered so I bought it on Audible & listened to it in one day. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Hearing a more concise analysis of the literary influences throughout Taylor’s discography impressed me more than I already was. Well written, easy to follow as well as thorough! 10/10 recommend for Swifties & Literary worms!🫶🏼

Bought as a gift for a Swiftie. Recipient loved it!

I really appreciate how this book is organized and how much information it has packed in. Great gift for any Swiftie, but definitely the bookworm Swifties. I love the page design and artwork too.I saw this book in a FB post and impulse ordered it. I can't wait to deep dive into it.

The book provides insight into how Taylor uses literary allusions to create interesting lyrics. Specific examples and a great glossary of terms are provided.

She has been engrossed in the book since opening her gifts this morning!

I am a massive swiftie and this book is so great! It’s a good little read.

I gave this to my niece who is a major Swiftie and she loved it! She let out a squeal that made me feel like I won Christmas. She already knows a TON of Taylor trivia, but this book helped her learn some new facts. Plus she said the book was “SO pretty!”
