A review by babybirdblogs
Taylor Swift by the Book: The Literature Behind the Lyrics, from Fairy Tales to Tortured Poets by Tiffany Tatreau, Rachel Feder

informative reflective

4.5

Taylor Swift by the Book authors Rachel Feder and Tiffany Tatreau take the reader on an adventure of the monsters, mythology, and metaphors behind Taylor Swift’s songs. I felt like this can be read in multiple ways, whether you read it straight through the way I did, or just want to look up your favorite song, you’ll be amazed at all the information you are presented with, including history, literary devices, time periods, and classics that serve as inspiration for Taylor’s songs. 

Beyond its merits in exploring the world of Taylor Swift I found I loved this book for delving into the history of various classic works in such a way that I could see their influence on other stories and movies I love.
