December 12, 2025At a recent family reunion, the husband of my eldest sister, who's about twenty years older than me, kept bombing me with questions about Ms. Swift. She seems to be a rather stellar human being, but I really know nothing about her, and can only name one of her songs. So I actually purchased this and had it mailed to him before I had the chance to read it. Hopefully he'll gift it back to me at our next reunion so I can properly review it.

What little I know about Taylor Swift I picked up from headlines. I did know that I liked some of her music and that she was dating a football player. Some of the things I heard about her were nice, like when she gave those truck drivers a nice bonus. So when I saw the Taylor Swift display in my library I took a closer look at the books available on the table. So why did I choose this one?
I had fond memories of the Little Golden Books from my childhood. Being such a short book, that I could probably read cover to cover while holding my breath, I knew they would get right to the point. And based on my past experience, I figured that they would stick to the facts and not get all nasty digging up dirt for some expose. Like my dad used to say when I was fighting with my brother, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything!"
According to the book, Taylor, who was named after James Taylor, was born on December 13, 1989. Maybe that is one of the reasons '13' is her lucky number. She had a happy childhood doing many things that little girls like to do, like riding horses and making snow angels. Eventually she learned to play the guitar and write her own songs. When she was eleven her parents took her to Nashville where she handed out CDs of her music to offices of various record labels. She performed everywhere she could, singing country music. Some of her classmates were mean to her because they thought she was weird to like country music so much. At thirteen RCA Records wanted to work with her. Her dreams of being a country music star were about to come true!
She did become a star, and her fans love her, and she loves them. To quote the book, "For a few of her albums, she surprised special groups of fans by inviting them to secret parties to listen to the album before anyone else. They got to hang out at her house, meet her family - and even bake cookies together!"
This would be a great book for kids as it shows that it is possible to follow your dream. As with other books in the series, there are plenty of illustrations.
You are an amazing young woman, Taylor Swift!

No shame in the fact that I ordered this copy for my own collection. That being said, every time anyone I know tells me they’re having a kid, this is now the gift they will be receiving. Sorry those are the rules. In this house we follow Blondie’s every move. And I’m having a marvelous time doing it!

Está alguém realmente chocado com o facto
de este livro estar agora na minha biblioteca? Eu acho
que não.
Enquanto proud swiftie não fazia sequer sentido este
fofo não fazer parte da minha coleção, e embora não
seja o mais completo no que toca a uma autobiografia
(temos que ter em conta que é um livro infantil) gostei
muito de o ler e as ilustrações estão incríveis!
