Rezensionen
"Readers will revel in the unrestrained delight with which Sheffield captures his subject, mixing a fan's exuberance with a music critic's nuanced analysis. Swifties won't be able to put this down." - Publishers Weekly

"Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone tackled mix tapes in a memoir and the Beatles in an appreciation, both highly acclaimed books. Now he tackles Taylor Swift, choosing his title Heartbreak Is the National Anthem from her song 'New Romantics' (from her best album 1989, just sayin'). Fans will love the fact that he takes Swift seriously: this is about popular music and how she's shaped it as an artist and yes as a pop culture force to be reckoned with. And non-fans will enjoy learning just what all the fuss is about." - Parade

"Tracking Taylor Swift from precocious teen to pop-music juggernaut. Why is Taylor Swift a cultural lightning rod? Why do people love-or hate-her and her music so much? Those are the questions that Sheffield, a music journalist and self-avowed Swiftie, seeks to answer in this zippy and engaging work. An affectionate homage from an ardent fan." - Kirkus Reviews

"An impressionistic portrait of Taylor Swift... the first serious attempt to place Swift inside a music history." - Chicago Tribune
