Into the Taylor-Verse - Taylor Swift's Songwriting Eras

The only book that unlocks the deep meanings and themes of Taylor Swift's music and lyrics, era by era.

For every fan whose heart beats to Swift's music, Into the Taylor-Verse will speak to you "All Too Well." From the early days of Fearless to the sleepless musings of Midnights, Into the Taylor-Verse explores how Taylor crafts stories that are like mirrors, reflecting back our deeply felt experiences and the journey of self-discovery.

Taylor's fans know that her lyrics "Hit Different," and so, too, does Into the Taylor-Verse, which celebrates Swift's trademark themes of love, loss, resilience, and redemption in songs that are emotional anchors. Each chapter is dedicated to a distinct era, taking readers from girlhood dreams to grown-up realities. It's "You Belong with Me" in book form.

Special features include playlists, a timeline of Taylor's iconic hairstyles, the essential breakdown of the number thirteen, and more. Into the Taylor-Verse is the "Enchanted" map for every fan to listen, interpret, and relate on a whole new level-perfect for new Swifties and those who've been "Dancing with Our Hands Tied" to her music for years.
