Selling hundreds of millions of records and selling out countless arenas, Taylor Swift is one of the most influential artists of her generation.

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.
