A cultural phenomenon. A worldwide obsession. An agent of emotional chaos.
Theres no parallel to Taylor Swift in history: a teenage girl who turns into the worlds favorite pop star, songwriter, storyteller, guitar hero, live performer, changing how music is made and heard. An all-time great on the level of The Beatles, Prince, or David Bowie.
Heartbreak Is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Musicis the first book thatgoes deep on the musical and cultural impact of Taylor Swift. Nobody can tell the story like Rob Sheffield, the bestselling and award-winning author ofDreaming the Beatles,On Bowie, andLove Is a Mix Tape.The legendary Rolling Stone journalist is the writer who has chronicled Taylor for every step of her long career, from her early days to the Eras Tour. Sheffield gets right to the heart of Swift and her music, her lyrics, her fan connection, her raw power.
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 hitsthe most public of stars, yet also the weirdest and most mysterious.
In the tradition of SheffieldsDreaming the Beatles,Heartbreak Is the National Anthemwill inform and delight a legion of fans who hang on every word from Taylor and every word Rob writes on her.
