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).

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?
