Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.

There is nothing overly excited about the book, there's nothing unique that would make you want to buy this book over others on the shelf. The average fan would know most of the information given and the photographs are fairly common. It is not my favorite Taylor themed book.

This is a great addition of memorabilia to any Taylor fan. It includes photos from her career start to current, explains her style of music, clothing, and personal life. Gives facts on awards won each year, as well as other details. Nothing too complex but still interesting to reminisce if you have followed her career

A brief but great introduction to the Taylor Swift catalog through her eras. Very informative with a comprehensive glossary.

This was a very basic but easy summary of Taylor Swift’s career and albums. But however there were some things that really rubbed me in the wrong way as a swiftie. To the talk of Kanye West to how the author talked about her re-recording her masters and how they were “bought by someone Taylor didn’t like”. I found that kind of stuff extremely dismissive and not only does it downplay the complex situation but it also is such a disservice to her as an artist. It really denies her ability, skill and the work ethic that she has.

It is a relatively cute read and there were things that I did like but overall I didn’t love this one unfortunately.

As a Swiftie I found this book to be a great read, I loved seeing the different Eras and what Taylor brought to the fans but also behind the scenes.

This is a cute book about the music of Taylor Swift with some other fun facts thrown in. Perfect for kids that really like Taylor Swift. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for review.

This is certainly something I can see my elementary aged students enjoying! It’s written simply and it’s easy for young fans to understand. The photographs and graphics in the book are fun and engaging.

Reading challenge - 2024 Hoffbensen: snake, eagle, badger, or lion on the cover (tongue in cheek "snake" - Taylor has been called a snake many times)

ARC ebook from #Netgalley targeting 2nd-5th grade readers. This is a cursory glance at Taylor's albums and lifetime of work. It should be about HER and not about Kanye. Don't bring his name into a book about this woman. And then not mention the name of the person who tried to keep her masters. I would love some big edits to this prior to actual publishing.

This book was a great overview and introduction too to Taylor Swift.

This book takes you on a trip through all the Eras and Taylor Swift's albums. The book has a lot of interesting facts too about Taylor's life and career, through from her initially bursting on to the scene with her country music, through to her current songs which are a mix of different genres.

It is well written, well laid out and easy to follow and has plenty of images too.

The book is a great introduction overall to Taylor Swift and a great one for me as a parent who has a daughter now interested in her music - I can at least sound like I know what I am talking about thanks to the book!

It is 4 stars from me for this one - highly recommended!

Very basic, but still an enjoyable summary of Taylor Swift's career and albums.

I liked how easily digestible this was as well as the photos and colours. The aesthetics are on point 💯 However, the text could use some polishing as it's a little awkward in some parts. Also, saying Big Machine Records was "bought by someone Taylor didn't like" is incredibly dismissing and downplaying a much more complex issue.

I'm not sure who this book is meant to be for. It says grades 2-5 in the description but from inaccurate tour information, mentions of kayne west for "context" sake of Reputation but then leaving out Scoot Braun's name in the context of why she's re-recording. It also has side note sections to explain what a pandemic is and what explicit songs mean. Overall kinda silly.

But for a 7-11 year old it's good probably... no unnecessary boyfriend or breakup song comments so thats a win.


Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

This was a cute middle to late elementary school level book about Taylor Swift. It provided an introductory level overview of her rise to fame, and mentioned the various albums that she's put out, along with an explanation of the importance of the albums.

If you have kids and they are interested in Taylor Swift, I truly think they will LOVE this one. It is easy to read, you get a lot of photographs throughout the book, and it goes through every era. The little Swifties will love this one.

This book reminded me of child's scrapbook and should have stuck with pictures or favorite songs but there was a lot of recycled information and could have used a seriously editor or at least put through Grammarly.

This book is a good start for all the young swifties who don't know a lot about Taylor Swift and want to learn more about her albums. Every album got an own page with some information about what was going on in Taylors life at that point and also some information about the album itself. The texts were pretty short and mostly the basic information. It's a good start but I can imagine that little Swifties who already know some facts about Taylor and Her music, could be bored with this book.

I liked how it was designed and that the book included some pictures from the different eras.

In the back of the book is an activity to define your own era, as well as a glossary with some difficult words.

Thank you to Netgalley and Gareth Stevens Publishing for this EARC!

This was a not so great book about Taylor Swift and her eras. I’m not sure what the purpose of this book was.

Very cute! The designing of the pages with the friendship bracelets are adorable. Would be a perfect gift for any young Taylor Swift fan who wants to know more about her.

Taylor Swift books are a big hit at our house with my daughter but this she said was her favorite! So well done. Very entertaining and just wonderfully put together. The pictures were gripping. Wonderful gift idea for a swiftie!

I can see students in my elementary school enjoying this biography. The focus is on Taylor Swift's music and not personal life. (Not even her current popular love interest.) It goes through each of her albums that make up her eras. It explains the vibe of each like switching from country to pop to more indie sounds. It also includes awards for each of the albums and the move to re-record previous albums to own the rights to them. I guess I’m a Swifty in training. I went with my daughter to Las Vegas for an early concert of the Era’s tour. That same daughter is at this moment flying home from seeing the last of the Era’s tour concerts in Vancouver, Canada.

I like that this book includes color photos and some quotes from Taylor’s social media. Biographies for living people can become outdated fairly quickly. But with her popularity I think this would attract readers grades 2-5 very easily.

A cute book for all of the young Swifties! A great look back at Taylor's career and her different eras. I like that it included a fun activity to pick your favorite era and create art at the end!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC - so cute!
