"My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I'm concerned,
love is absolutely everything"
When this book was first published three years ago (2021), the author predicted that when it came to Taylor's career, the best was still to come. What transpired has made those prophetic words a mind-blowing reality. In this revised and updated version, including Eras and Poets, he makes it clear that the hard work, massive heart, and the energy of ten nuclear power plants all in one human being has driven this beautiful star to the highest levels of musical fame. And no one deserves it more.
As well as outlining the story behind each and every song she has recorded, this book gives a detailed account of how Taylor managed to overcome with composure and dignity the pressures on both her personal and professional life. She deserves every single award she has ever won, not the least for her stunning productivity, but for her world-class empathy for human suffering and putting her checkbook way ahead of her critics and detractors by supporting so many needy causes.
There is no doubt that with her words of inspiration, and the powerhouse lyrics to her songs, the world is a far better place thanks to the unstoppable force that is TAYLOR SWIFT.
About the author
Michael Taylor is a lover of lyrics. A child of the 50's, he grew up with the Beatles and the Beach Boys as his first exposure to the world of popular music, and, at first, dismissed anything that didn't meet their high standards. But that short-sightedness soon changed, and instead of just playing records, he analysed them in minute detail, scribbling down the words and trying to identify what the instruments were (which was not too difficult in the 60's). With no intention nor an ability to become a musician or singer himself, his focus was increasingly sharpened by lyrics, and as a student in the 70's was inspired by the emergence of the singer-songwriter revolution which gave him a burning desire to write about what lead some these artists to put into words their most heartfelt sentiments of life, love, and the world in which they live.Michael is a retired buyer and lives in England with his wife Angela. His other passions are American history and writing poetry.
