This unauthorized Taylor Swift-inspired picture book is a nice gift idea for Swifties of all ages. It adapts what is arguably the most annoying Christmas song by counting down the days with iconography that will instantly make Taylor’s fans smile, including friendship bracelets, cats, cardigans, and more. The images and text are careful not to get too close to copyrighted material, but fans will easily pick up on references like “eras” and “Hi, it’s me.” Those who like to complain will probably find things in this book to quibble with, but if they can “shake it off,” there is plenty to enjoy in this little book, not to mention its eventual collectible value.

Cute, but the last one in the song is a little weird.

Perhaps a die hard Swiftie will love this, but being UNauthorized and capitalizing on Taylor isn't my favorite thing in the world. Additionally, I had to get things explained to me. Again, not a Swiftie. So while I got the friendship bracelets and boots, I needed chai cookies explained. I forget she collected snow globes. And I could keep going on and on

I had true Swifties read it and they weren't fans either.

Swifty fans will want this book. The only words in the book daily words to the so 12 Day sog Christmas, only this is 13 Days of Christmas. Only recently has Tylor Swift been on my radar, so I can not give this a proper review. But I know that the illustrations are very lively and bright, just like Christmas, and that I enjoyed each page that Brooke created. The book seems like something a young Swifty fan would love to find under their tree and add to their collection of Swifty memorabilia.

A play on 12 Days of Christmas for the Swifties, except 13 because #iykyk

It's literally just the lyrics to a Taylor Swift-based rendition of the song, with big bright illustrations for each item and little Easter eggs for the fandom throughout.

As a swiftie, I thought this was super cute for kids, but a little corny for me as an adult (which makes sense, this is a children’s book).
Some of the rhymes were actually pretty good though, and I appreciated the more niche Taylor references like the snow globes!

I love everything Taylor 🫶🏼 but this left a little bit to be desired. I wish it rhymed better and read smoother. I wish it had better cadence and then I realize I should not expect this much from a 15 page book. Enjoy the pictures

Really cute and a great gift for a fan of any age. The illustrations are colorful and festive.

[Panda Incognito · Rating 2 out of 5]

Adult fans will enjoy gifting this to each other, but there was no effort to make this age-appropriate and relevant to little kids, especially with the bizarre ending.

Perfect for the Swiftie in your life!

A perfect holiday read for Swifties of all stripes, this short take on the 12 Days of Christmas is full of all the things Taylor and her fans love.

I had to check this out just to read it! It's pretty clever and adorable. I definitely tried to sing along in my head.

[Mel · Rating 4 out of 5]

me, I thought it was cute. my 12 yo Swiftie, however, LOVED this. We borrowed the book...but maybe we'll be buying it.

A fun and light holiday read for Swifties. A fun play on the Twelve Days of Christmas with Swift themed items.

Adorable for any Swiftie

[Rachel Capps · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute book for Taylor Swift fans of all ages.

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 5 out of 5]

As reads go, this is more of a 3-star. But it so perfectly sums up the entire vibe of the last couple of years with my two Swifties, so.

[Randi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very loosely related to Taylor. While I get each page, it was just so bland and short and felt really generic for having Taylor Swift connected to it.

[Meg · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so cute! Perfect for any Swiftie!

a cute Christmas Countdown for Swifties

Taylor Swift and Christmas… need I say more?

This is so freaking cute. I'm loving all the different Taylor Swift themed books that have come out over the past months.
