Heartbreak is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music by Rob Sheffield

informative inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

5.0

I love how this is a combination of the authors anecdotes about being a Taylor Swift fan, while also providing an interesting ideas about what Taylor has achieved in her career and which impact it had. While I would have liked more of those analyses, I also appreciated the authors personal stories and ideas.

There were some opinions which I didn't 100% agree with (All You Had To Do Was Stay is a good track five!), but it's subjective of course. It was an intelligent exploration of Taylor's career from the point of view from a fan and music journalist. A few chapters focus on one song and what I liked doing a lot, was listening to those songs while reading that chapter. It adds another experience.

Great book, great author!
