Taylor Swift fans have a few more weeks to wait until her new album is released, but Swifties can spring for a new Taylor-inspired book in the meantime, that’s topping the charts online.
Who Is Taylor Swift? was released on April 2 and quickly shot to the top of Amazon’s best-selling children’s biographies chart. The book tells the story of Swift’s rise to fame, from her small-town beginnings in Pennsylvania, to her move to Nashville, to her travels touring around the globe. Along the way, it also tracks her famous albums, lyrics, rumored romances and reported feuds (though there’s no more “bad blood” to speak of).

Though it’s written for children ages 8-12, the new book is suitable for fans of all ages, and makes a great gift idea too.
Amazon
Listed at a suggested manufacturer’s price of $6.99, Amazon has the new Taylor Swift biography on sale for just $5 as of this writing. The 112-page book is available on paperback, hardcover, for Kindle and as an audiobook on Audible (which you can listen to free with a free trial to Audible here).
While this isn’t an official release from Swift’s camp, the book does hail from publishers Penguin Workshop, whose best-selling Who Was? series tells the stories of “important scientists, artists, writers, athletes, changemakers, and musicians,” in “inviting and digestible packages” for middle-grade readers.
As the publisher notes detail, “Since the release of her self-titled debut album in 2006, Taylor Swift has dominated the music charts, reinvented her sound, won numerous awards, shaken off public criticism, and spoken up for herself and others. Whether you’re a lifelong Swiftie or someone who just loves learning about musicians, this enchanting book will teach you all about the experiences that helped Taylor Swift become the successful superstar many kids and adults looks up to.”
Who Is Taylor Swift? is written by Kirsten Anderson, whose other titles include Who Is Zendaya? and Who Is Kamala Harris? The young adult book also features illustrations from Gregory Copeland, an award-winning artists whose work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators New York, Communication Arts Illustration Annual, and 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide, among others.
Pick up a copy of Who Is Taylor Swift? on sale for just $5 now on Amazon.com. The new Swift biography is also available for the same price on Walmart.com.
The book comes on the heels of an unofficial Taylor Swift fan journal that was released last year, in the middle of the singer’s record-breaking Eras Tour.
