This book is the result of Chapelle’s more than 10 years documenting the fashion of Miss Americana herself, Taylor Swift. What started out as a blog in 2011 has evolved into a behemoth of a book filled with pictures and stories that fans may (or may not) know all too well. From Swift’s self-titled debut album all the way through
Midnights and the record-setting Eras tour, no era is left untouched. Additionally, Chapelle pays careful attention to demonstrating how Swift’s fashion choices were not only meant to make her look good, but also how she uses them to tease upcoming projects with her fans. While Chapelle was unable to document every single article of clothing worn by Swift, she does an excellently highlights and breaks down some of her more famous outfits. From the street to the stage and everything in between, this book highlights the best (and some of the worst) fashion in Swift’s entire career. The accompanying pictures range from professional shots to candids to behind-the-scenes photos that offer a better look into how Swift tells stories not just with her music, but also with her looks. This book is proof that, in Swift’s mind, no detail is too small to overlook. After all, she is a mastermind.
VERDICT Given how many people are in their Swift era these days, it is difficult to imagine not including this work in library collections for adults and teens alike.
