Rolling Stone veteran Rob Sheffield’s deep dive examines the musical and cultural impact of the world’s biggest pop star.
Swift, one of the world’s best-selling musicians and most visible celebrities, has shattered countless records, flouted music industry norms and even become more successfulage. Such remarkable achievements are feverishly recorded by Sheffield, who argues that Swift’s songwriting is the secret sauce that makes her music connect with so many listeners – and continues to keep her so popular.
Many other artists might refuse to look back, but Swift embraces the challenge, seeing it as a way to reclaim her younger self and remind us of the power of the self-knowledge gained.Sheffield also loves to spin a good theory and there’s plenty indulged in here. One is a far-fetched take on Swift’s use of the word “nice”, while another is that the singer releases deliberate red herrings as lead singles.
If you’re a fan, you won’t be able to put this book down. If you’re a sceptic, you might just come away a born-again Swiftie.
