At once one of the most beloved music figures of the past two decades and one of the most criticized, Taylor Swift is known as much for her life beyond her music as she is for her constant stream of hits--and most of all, how she uses the former to not only create the latter, but market and brand herself throughout the many "eras" of her career. At once both approachable and enigmatic, Taylor Swift has become a master of controlling the narrative surrounding her life and career while keeping fans eager to learn of her every next step. In the tradition of Sheffield''s award-winning Dreaming the Beatles , Heartbreak Is the National Anthem will inform and delight a legion of fans who hang on every word from Taylor and ever word Rob writes on her.
