Eh, it was probably well researched but the execution was not very well done. It jumped around a lot. The chapters followed her albums but didn't have a lot of substance.

amazing book if you are a swiftie! I loved this audiobook. as a swiftie myself I really enjoyed this book, but I wish it would have had more informations. I feel like I go scroll to social media and find everything that's in here, I was hoping for more in dept information or something new.

I wish I could rate this higher because I truly adore Taylor Swift. However, While this book is clearly well researched and informative I felt it was slightly unfocused. The chapters are titled as the separate eras but internally they jump about a lot which can make the time line quite confusing. That’s coming from a massive swiftie who knows most of the lore already. I also found some details to be quite random like the excessive information about the origin stories of various record labels and Travis Kelce’s football career.

It was fun to follow along the journey through the eras throughout this book. It was as expected with it being unauthorized.

Thank you to @netgalley and @dreamscapemedia for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A Solid Introduction for Casual Taylor Swift Fans

"Taylor: Era by Era" caters well to casual fans like myself who are familiar with some of her biggest hits and have a general awareness of her career trajectory, but lack in-depth knowledge. This unauthorized biography offers a concise overview of Swift's remarkable journey, highlighting her musical evolution and her savvy marketing strategies.

While the book effectively summarizes key events and milestones, its non-chronological structure can sometimes feel disjointed, jumping back and forth between different eras and incidents.

Katelyn Levering's narration is excellent, ensuring a smooth and engaging listening experience.

Overall, "Taylor: Era by Era" provides a valuable introduction to Swift's career for those seeking a quick and accessible overview.

I'm not a Swiftie but I do enjoy Taylors music and find her rise to fame fascinating. The author is this did a good job of describing each era and how they flowed but I do think parts went more in depth than I cared to know. It wasn't the most exciting recap of her life but was informative and well presented. The narrator did a good job with the audiobook. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Caroline Sullivan’s biography, "Taylor Swift: The Era of Influence," offers an interesting exploration of TS's journey from a small country star to a global pop icon. This book details each of Swift’s musical phases, and had some fun facts that I, as a huge Swiftie, didn't know. The author sensitively addresses Swift’s relationships that we all know give her songs such an emotional level. The biography further examines Taylor's impact on the music industry and her impact on her fans. Overall, this insightful book is a good read for both devoted fans and those curious about the power of storytelling in music.

An overview of Taylor's life and career up until a year ago. A perfect addition for any Swifty's collection. The narrator did a great job.

As someone who loves Taylor Swift's music, but hasn't been closely following her private life and rise to fame/glory in the Eras tour until recently, this book was really eye opening into her early life and music career. I can see how a true Swifty would not find any new information in the book, but if you're like me and are dabbling in the Taylor Swift folklore, this book has all you need to know and more to get you on board with the Swifties!

Swifties, where are you at?! Taylor: Era by Era tells Taylor’s story, her life journey from a child through her newest album, TTPD & newest romance with Travis Kelce. Swoon!!

Whether you are a die hard forever Swiftie or a new fan - this book is for you! Take a journey of her career and her past and current relationship to fall even more in love with the incredible Taylor Swift! She’s such an inspiration!

This book was released during Taylor’s Era Tour and it couldn’t have been more perfectly time!

A huge thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this audiobook in exchange for my honest review! This was such a quick listen. I enjoyed it immensely.

I liked this quick listen a lot. I feel like if you’re a big Swifty you probably know all these facts and stories so maybe you wouldn’t like it at much. But I only know a bit of TS history and her songs so I liked this a lot. I liked hearing about the songs and then going to listen to them. Just confirms TS is a business powerhouse.

I really enjoyed listening to this! I've been a diehard Swiftie since her first album came out when I was only 14 years old, so I was quite impressed with the research Caroline Sullivan put into making this book. Even though I've been a fan of Taylor Swift for over half of my life, I still learned so much about her! This was very enjoyable to listen to, and the narrator's voice was perfect. I liked the organization and layout of the chapters, which went through different "eras" hence the title. I will recommend this to all of Swiftie friends, as well as my high school students because many of them are Swifties, too!

I thought this would be a fun audiobook for my kids and i to listen to on a summer road trip, and that's exactly how i'd recommend this. It really is a fun road trip book that all aged Swifties can enjoy. It wasn't anything new, and all info were things you can find on Google, but we still enjoyed.

Taylor Swift: Era by Era: The Unauthorized Biography by Caroline Sullivan

Thank you to @netgalley and @dreamscape_media for the opportunity to read this #advancedlistenercopy in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own. This is available now on audiobook and physical platforms.

Those who have been following me for a while know I’m crazy about Taylor! So when I saw this available on Netgalley, I knew I had to check it out. As a fan since Tim McGraw, there wasn’t a ton of new information in this but there were several cute anecdotes. There were a few mispronunciations of different artists etc that mildly took me out of the book but overall I do recommend this, especially for new fans looking to learn more. Please note this is an unauthorized biography.

TWs: loss of a loved one, cancer, g*slighting, bull*ing, ED, more

With all the 'Taylormania' going on in the world now, it was fascinating to read about Taylor Swift's background and steady climb to superstardom. The narrative was coherent and easy to follow, and the narrator did an excellent job of keeping things interesting. One can't help but admire the determination and talent Taylor possesses. She deserves her 'fame and fortune'.

Thank you for the ARC Netgalley! This detailed telling of Swift's rise to fame and fortune was riveting and inspiring. I had no idea she is such an intellect. She came from money but worked her butt off to get where she is now and definitely deserved it. Enjoyable read!

Calling all Swifties!!

For Swiftie fans new and old, this fabulous Audiobook dives into Taylor's life story and truly goes era by era. I am a big fan but was surprised by how much I did not know about Ms. Swift. I highly recommend this audiobook if you are wanting to know more about Taylor Swift!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the gifted ALC.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really liked it, stuck with me & would recommend
This is really for those, like myself, who know a few of her songs and are aware of some of the pop culture news items that have popped up over the years but not much else. It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me... I'm not her demographic since I'm way older than her, but I really enjoyed this as the highlights of what I should know. She's certainly very talented and a marketing genius, this chronicle really focused on that and didn't get terribly deep into any one thing. If I have any criticism it would be that I would have preferred the structure to be more chronological and less referring back and forth to different incedents yet to happen.

The narrator, Katelyn Levering, did a fantastic job. I had no trouble understanding what was happening and no issue with pronunciation. 

Thank you to Dreamscape Media, NetGalley, and author Caroline Sullivan for providing me with a digital ARC copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Taylor: Era by Era The Unauthorized Biography is out June 6, 2024.

I absolutely adored this brief but entertaining, thorough audio about Taylor's life. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the honor of hearing it first. As a new Swift fan, this unauthorized biography told me a lot about her life growing up, the Christmas tree farm, her long saga with obtaining rights to her music and the drama surrounding her, Kanye and Kim Kardashian. Overall, I learned a lot I didn't already know and the author's writing style kept me engaged during the entire book. The narrator was also fabulous! I will highly recommend this one to anyone who wants to know more about Swift or who adores her in general, like me.

As a fan from the beginning and a dedicated Swiftie since the Reputation era, I couldn’t resist diving into this book! 🎤💖 While it didn’t offer much new commentary for me, I still enjoyed every page. 📖✨

The author did a fantastic job compiling all the information about Taylor’s Eras, covering so many topics with thorough research and sources from interviews and concerts. 🌟🎶

If you’re looking to learn more about Taylor Swift or want to relive each Era, this book is a must-read! 🌈📚
