I will not elaborate any further on why.
These are all books that I have read and recommend for a variety of reasons. I am not suggesting that these are books that the queen of the universe herself would recommend. I am not suggesting that these books have literally anything to do with her music or anything in common with each other. I am suggesting that they are good books and that their titles could definitely be Taylor Swift songs.
If any of these turn up on a future album, remind me to monetize this somehow.
Some of them even have covers that scream Taylor Swift photo shoot. Or maybe I’m comparing these artists simply because they are young, conventionally attractive, talented women who have been ritualistically exploited by powerful men in their lives – not sure! Find out and read Mean Baby.
