Carrot’s Reviews > Taylor Swift: The Whole Story > Status Update

WOW! Finished reading about Taylor's childhood with a page full of quotes :) She'll always be just so inspirational to me, but of course my journey ends here (in this book)! The rest is history and I did get what I needed. Woohoo, a cheer - to the passionate and unique ones :)

"Her isolation during her middle-school years also gave her plenty of time to focus on music. Had she still been running with the in-crowd she would have spent more time on normal schoolgirl pursuits, rather than solitary sessions with her guitar and imagination – those two dear friends who have served her so loyally ever since...Music has always been that escape for me,’ she said."

Shivers and tears! AHH :))

I do think the writing is less than descriptive and it doesn't capture a lot of the things especially in Taylor's childhood. Of course her childhood is super inspirational still, just wish this book would've written it better! (Someday!)

Taylor's childhood was pure gold! And so inspirational :))

"Writing is pretty involuntary to me,’ she said. ‘I’m always writing.’ That obsession began with a fascination for poetry, and ‘trying to figure out the perfect combination of words, with the perfect amount of syllables and the perfect rhyme to make it completely pop off the page’...she would replay the catchy rhymes she had read and then try and conjure up some of her own."

"Then she explored the history of country music, digging deep enough to discover, to her joy, older acts...She became, she said, ‘infatuated’ with the sound and the ‘storytelling’ of the genre. ‘I could relate to it. I can’t really tell you why. With me, it’s instinctual.’"

“While some childhoods squeeze all artistic aspirations out of a youngster, Taylor’s childhood nurtured and encouraged her dreams.”

So excited!! Also tell me why there's so little reviews here! Well, haha, that's besides the point- Taylor is so legendary truly
