Great book! You can tell proper research about Taylor and her fandom was done beforehand. There are sooo many references that only fans would know, this isn't some surface level easter egg book! Fans will love this :)

I absolutely loved this book! As a longtime Swiftie, I was surprised (in the best way) by how much new information I learned about Taylor. It’s clear the author put real care into highlighting different eras of her life and career. The illustrations were not only beautiful but also so fun to explore—I found myself scanning each page for hidden details and Easter eggs. This book felt like a love letter to Taylor and her fans. I’ll definitely be picking up a copy for one of my friends who’s just as obsessed as I am!

Thank you to Cider Mill Press, the author and NetGalley for a DRC in return for an honest review

Well done Gus Morais, the hard work really paid off! The illustrations are colourful, vibrant and fascinating. You can really see how much time, effort and patience has gone into this book.It will definitely keep Swifties mesmerised for hours. Although I am a fan of Taylor's, I can't call myself a Swiftie. I don't know every single detail about her life, so I personally struggled a bit finding all the various iterations of her, but I still enjoyed the hunt immensely.

This will make a great Christmas present - released well in time on 7 Oct. It also goes without saying that any Swiftie who is also a Where's Wally? (UK) - Where's Waldo? (US) - fan would be doubly excited to find this in their Christmas stocking!

4 out of 5 stars as I think very young fans may well struggle to find all the hidden items and the kindle format annoyingly halves all the pictures, so they are not side by side but below each other, which in turn makes it a lot more difficult. The physical printed version should be the format of choice.

I loved the drawings!!! I think the illustrator did a great job with the album/era representations and the games were really fun. I wasn’t able to find every single item (I think the Grammy Awards were the hardest) but I still enjoyed it a lot. I love how there were little details that pictured different lyrics only fans would understand.

The only things I would change are better text descriptions of the item we’re supposed to be looking for (there were a few items that were not very specific and it made it hard to find) and better research on the eras (the summaries were good but sometimes there were irrelevant things mentioned or some important things were missing).

I have spent far too much find using my phone to zoom in and find the little Taylor's and other cute items. This is perfect for Mama's with little Swifties who want something to do on a long car ride or when you need to distract your child in public.

I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan, and this book was just amazing. It’s like "Where’s Waldo?" Taylor’s Version. The different eras were illustrated perfectly, and a few of them really made me laugh. Especially the zombies in Reputation. Hilarious. Definitely something for every Swiftie or for the kids of Swifties. Love it!

A super search and find book for anyone who likes Taylor Swift. Fun themes that go along with her history and albums. I love the different looks she's wearing in the different Eras in each picture. The pictures on the pages are colorful and fun and I enjoyed searching for all of the hidden treasures.

Easiest 5 stars I’ve given out. I have had an absolutely incredible time going through this Taylor search book. Oh my goodness it’s so charming, the art is BEAUTIFUL. I had expectations going into this, I thought it would be relatively easy and I would find it okay but this exceeded EVERY expectation. I still can’t find Reputation Taylor on the Eras Tour page. All the tiny little details, all the references and the easter eggs. Words cannot describe how much I think it’s so perfect. I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy so I can go in deeper (it’s not the easiest in the ebook) and just admire its beauty. I wish I could give 10 stars. It’s 10/10, like no notes, I’m elated with everything I experienced.

Since Where’s Waldo hit the shelves, seek and find books have only increased in popularity. What better combo then a new seek and find with the hottest icon around. Taylor Swift fans will love this book. Young Swifties will flock to the book. Very colorful and inviting illustrations. A sure winner on any book shelf.

This delightful book will definitely find its way to my middle school library and won't stay on the shelf for long! Taylor Swift lovers will be ready to check it out and spend hours of fun indulging themselves in the history of Taylor Swift's career while searching for little nuggets that only true fans will understand. It's a Where's Waldo for all the Swifties!

This book is like Where's Waldo for Taylor Swift Fans. It's a search and find that's perfect for tweens and Swifties. It's not a book that I would recommend for the library. It's a fun activity book to look at if you have time to pass.

What a fun search and find biography book. I was able to pull up this Netgalley ARC on my ipad and do some searching for what's essentially a Taylor Swift themed Where's Waldo book. I think finding thirteen of something for each of the eras might have been a bit much but it was all still really fun. The graphics were great and easy to see, though not always easy to find which made it challenging.

I grew up loving Where’s Waldo, so this Swiftie search-and-find book? Instant obsession. 💖🕵🏻‍♀️ The illustrations are gorgeous, packed with fun details, and my mini Swiftie had the best time helping me find everything. It perfectly captures the magic of being a Taylor fan—I’m definitely grabbing a physical copy to keep the hunt going!

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this absolute gem! 🎶✨🪩

As a swiftie who grew up in the “where’s Waldo” era, this book made me so happy. It was beautifully illustrated and my mini swiftie had a blast helping me find everything!

Thank you to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for the ARC of this book.

This book was a wonderful gem of a find for this middle-aged Swiftie! This book is so unique. Each era is represented in beautiful illustrations containing lots of hidden Taylor-related items to find (you also have to find Taylor herself, of course). Make sure you read it while listening to the related Taylor album. So relaxing and fun! This is the perfect gift for Swifties of all ages. I absolutely loved it!

As a huge Swiftie, I was really excited to be able to gain access to a Taylor book. Myself and my children (11 & 13) who are also fans really enjoyed this too. It’s in a ‘Where’s Wally?’ Style where you have to look for Taylor and her related objects. The illustrations are cute, the detail is good and the style is eye catching.
It was fun, but I would probably have liked the biography information to contain something ‘new’ as it was quite generic.
For a family of Swifties, this was a fun way to spend a bit of time!

This was such a fun and interactive experience. It is clear that the author has done their research to make this as informative and interesting as possible. I would definitely recommend this to customers that is interest in these kinds of books and Taylor Swift.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review!

This was such a fun seek and find of all the different Taylor's! It was really a lot of fun and I enjoyed finding her in each page - some were super hard!

Coming from someone who generally is not a huge “Swiftie,” this was still a super fun way to learn about her career. There is no denying that she has built a career for herself and so many people adore her for. This book takes you on a ride through all of her “eras” with fun items to find that represent her journey. As I said, I’m not a huge fan and enjoyed it. I just know the fans are going to go crazy over this! Well done!!
