Selling hundreds of millions of records and selling out countless arenas, Taylor Swift is one of the most influential artists of her generation. But how did she become so iconic and so wildly successful? Covering everything from her influences and her collaborators to the aesthetics that have become such a crucial part of her performances and much more, this meticulously researched biography reveals all.

From her self-titled debut album to The Tortured Poets Department, author and music journalist Caroline Sullivan charts Taylor’s journey from budding country starlet to pop music phenomenon. Each of Taylor’s eras is explored in depth like never before, encompassing her evolution as an artist, her high-profile relationships and the stories behind her songs.

Featuring a stunning photographic section with pictures spanning her entire career, this is the most complete portrait yet of one of the most popular artists on the planet, and the perfect gift for any Taylor fan.

Reviews:

Sullivan offers a good old-fashioned meticulously researched biography. Using the Eras concept as her structure, she traces Swift’s fledging career and then devotes a chapter to each of her albums and related developments … Taylor: Era by Era absolutely buys into the brand of Swift as a good friend and everyday feminist, who values "nice" as a quality above others.
