A swiftie history book!

This book is both a modern day look into Fan culture and how it has evolved.as well as a love letter to Taylor Swift.

This book starts by looking at Taylor's career and how it has evolved alongside her fans before delving a bit deeper into fan-culture as a whole. It's a great read if you're a swiftie and want to learn (or reminisce) more about the swiftie-evolution and what it means to have a constant role model in the form of a celebrity.

I wouldn't really call this a companion for the era's tour as advertised, more a companion to Taylor in general and her fans. It reads slightly like a personal memoir of the Author at times but is overwhelmingly a recap of Taylor and her fans so far. There is one chapter on the Eras tour, but this is mainly recounting what has happened to date.

Thankyou to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I have only recently discovered Taylor Swift as my 9 year old has just started to listen to her. So I found this book informative and I liked that it was not just about Taylor Swift it was about the fandom as a whole.
You could tell it was written by a fan I think this really added to the narrative.
I found it interesting looking at the fandom from the outside, as I like certain music and artists but I don’t love any of them enough to this degree. I can remember being obsessed with Buffy in my teens though so I can still remember how encompassing it can be, and it was enlightening to see how much has changed with the rise of social media.
As a parent I hope this will help me with sharing the excitement when either of my children become a big fan of something or someone!
