This was a cute short read that is tons of fun for any Swiftie! I’d recommend it for Swifties of all ages! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

This book was really enjoyable as a Swiftie. It’s definitely aimed more towards new (and younger) Swifties than the older generations. The quizzes were fun and easy to complete. It reminded me a lot of those old school magazines I used to read as a teen.

Thanks to NetGalley and Capstone Press for the digital copy of this book; I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This middle grade book about Taylor Swift gave me a deep sense of nostalgia for Teen Beat and Tiger magazines. Longtime fans will find nothing new in the book, but for newer and younger fans, this is a great introduction to Swift.
I had no idea how many times Taylor had color references in her songs, and they are all tallied up here! I thought the section on Taylor's songs and how they related to a series of ex-lovers was not needed--why give them more "airtime"?

As an adult Swiftie, I really liked this book. I tried to read it from the perspective of the age it's written for and it made me a bit nostalgic to think about how I'd find biographies in school libraries about Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen or Britney Spears, so knowing that kids and preteens will have access to such a fun book about Taylor warmed my heart.
I actually learned quite a few new facts through this book, especially about the Eras Tour. I really liked the little quizzes and games throughout and I think I'll have to try out the Taylor Swift manicure myself! My favorite part was probably the lyrical breakdown of how often each color was used in Taylor's lyrics.

A MUST read for any TSwift fan!! Loved this so much, and the quizzes were amazing! Perfect for any fan that wants to get into all the details and be a professional fan!

This reminds me of the early 2000s magazines about popstars, and was weirdly nostalgic for that reason. It's full of color and fun tidbits, but I'm not sure how much it stands out against any other type of the same thing.

This was a great mini fact book about Taylor Swift! I loved the variety of facts, activities, and questions spread throughout the book. There’s so many references to different songs, the colors she uses in her songs, and more! It’s a great additions to any young swifties collection!

The book was interesting, but it felt like something was missing. The facts were mostly the basics. I didn't really understand why her exes had to be mentioned in this book. I guess they are a part of her life and that would make them to facts, but it felt unnecessary. Else it was a fun read and I really liked the colour choices. The quizzes added a nice touch to it.

This is a quick little fact book targeted at ages 8-14. I’m assuming it’s meant to be a quick read with little depth in the subject. Long time fans will know all this information, but for new and younger fans it could be a cute and interesting book. As a grown up Swiftie I did find the section tallying her number of color references as a very cool fact! Personally, I thought there would be more quizzes and activities than there were. There literally is only ONE activity and it was to make a poster. 8-14 year olds are a lot more sophisticated nowadays and may find this book a little lacking in substance. I also think the author missed the mark when discussion who certain songs were about and should have strayed from the typical ex boyfriend reference and chosen more nuanced references, such as Marjorie and Ronan.
Thanks NetGalley and Capstone Press for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book is a must have for any swiftie. This is a fun an exciting book with different activities. A fun way to spend time with out favorite star, Taylor Swift.

My own kids and the students in my classroom will love this book. I will definitely be buying a copy when it comes out. This is bright and colorful. Kids love facts about pop stars, especially when presented in an easy-to-read manner. This is fun for Taylor Swift fans.

Loved reading the entertaining facts, quizzes, and activities featuring Taylor Swift. Read about the highly recommended talented singer and. songwriter.,

As a huge Swiftie, I picked this up because it’s always interesting to see what information makes it into published works. I like that this book was somewhat sensitive; it didn’t include mention of people that Taylor’s friendships have dissolved with. I say somewhat because it does include mention of her exes, speculating who certain songs are about, and someone who really doesn't deserve any more attention, but I guess that comes with her history, so I understand why the author included it.
I love the little details included that people might not even notice, such as the different Taylors in her music video, or details about her directorial hand in her music videos. All in all, a solid TS book complete with quizzes and activities!

This is a great book for Swifties everywhere. There are fun quizzes, a ton of facts and everything is presented in an engaging and friendly way. This would be a great gift for the Swiftie in your family.

This is a cute book that will appeal to younger Taylor Swift fans. There are interesting factoids and lots of fun pictures. The quizzes and activities - like how to make the friendship bracelets help make this an active reading experience.

This book is a fun little treat for all swifties, but specifically younger ones will probably enjoy it. The design is also really cute and colorful, which I loved.

This book was good we'll written and informative the information was correct I believe and I actually learned some things I knew most of he facts already because I love Taylor but over there was nothing wrong with the book and I would recommend it to any fellow swifties

I love that it’s an updated version and compared to almost every single other Taylor book, this one has stood out to me the most

Overall I think the design and content of the book is great for its intended audience. The color, photos, and facts are all interesting and geared appropriately. The activities and quizzes are a nice touch. Most of the information is well known and often used in a number of other books/ articles about Taylor Swift, it is presented well for another generation to learn about Taylor.
However, I think page 16 “Who is this Song About anyway” is a missed opportunity. There is already so much discourse about Taylor writing songs about previous relationships and valid arguments exist about no longer furthering the narrative that she only writes songs about exes. The author and publisher of this book could/should have used the opportunity to highlight additional songs she has written like Rowan about a boy fighting cancer or Marjorie the inspiration she draws from her grandmother in addition to the inclusion of The Best Day.
I think it would have been an affective way to set this book apart from others already on the market and provide beneficial context.

Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!
