Delightful...A rich and exhaustive production...Swifties have gotten their bible. The New Yorker

Ten years ago, an unknown sixteen-year-old released a self-titled debut country album. A decade later, Taylor Swift has reached record-breaking, chart-topping heights. A ten-time Grammy winner, Swift has been hailed for her songwriting talent, crossed effortlessly from country to pop, and established herself as a musician who can surprise, delight, and inspire, all while connecting with her fans in a way that only she can.

Amazingly, after all these years, there is no great, comprehensive book about Swift for her fans. Until now. This book, a fan-generated celebration of Swifts first decade as an artist, collects the best writing and images from the past ten years in one gorgeous volume. From prefame interviews with Swift in local Pennsylvania newspapers to major profiles in The New Yorker and Rolling Stone; from album reviews by top critics such as Robert Christgau, Sasha Frere-Jones, and Ann Powers to essays by beloved novelists like Maggie Shipstead; from Tavi Gevinsons classic ode to Swift in The Believer to Q&As with Chuck Klosterman and humorous analysis from McSweeneys and The Hairpin; from album-themed crossword puzzles and adult coloring pages to profiles of Taylors biggest fans; from an excerpt of the soon-to-be-published novel Taylor Swift: Girl Detective to a book within a book of Swifts most inspiring quotations titled (naturally) The Tao of Tay, this book is the vital collection of all things Taylor.

Here, finally, is the must-have book for every Swiftie and every music lover. For, as Klosterman wrote in GQ, If you dont take Swift seriously, you dont take contemporary music seriously.

* This book is a tribute to Taylor Swift, but she was not involved in its creation. *
