Reviews

[Josianne Harvey]

C’était bien. Ça m’a permis de revisiter les albums et tout ce qui les entourent. Je n’y ai rien appris de nouveau, on va se le dire l’auteur est très Swiftie et très peu neutre dans ses propos. Somme toute, c’était une lecture agréable avec un flux intéressant.

[Frédérick Gélinas]

Ben oui toi, mon premier livre de l’année, c’est Taylor Swift. Non, je devrais dire que c’est un cadeau d’une personne qui sait que j’aime Taylor Swift.

J’ai bien aimé, on y couvre tous les albums de Debut à TTPD. Connaissant moins ses premiers albums, ça m’a permis de mieux comprendre leur contexte (qui fait tout autant parti du plaisir d’écouter cette artiste).

Un petit plaisir qui se lit bien de temps à autre.

Seul bémol: l’écriture vraiment pas objective de l’auteu qui est parfois vraiment crinqué.

This covered each of her albums, significant moments and achievements in her career, lyric analysis and so much more. There was so much information contained within this book and it was delivered in a way that celebrated Taylor's incredible career so far.

An absolute must have for the collection of any Swiftie.

4.5/5

It was fun to read through. But some of the spelling errors annoyed me.

I got this for Christmas from my eldest. Lots of info laid out chronologically. A lot I didn't know. Will have to listen to some of the deep cuts again.

[Osk]

The ultimate Swiftie book for someone who is curious about Taylor's life, highlights and random accomplishments such as holding dozens of Guinness World Records.

[Kathryn Jordan]

Had lots of fun information and is a nice way to have all of it in one place.

Read this with my kids. Insane how many typos are in it.
