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.

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.
