TAYLOR'S VERSION The Poetic and Musical Genius of Taylor Swift

Janina Edwards narrates this exploration of the musical phenomenon that is Taylor Swift--her lyrics and what it is about her music that makes her both relatable and aspirational. When author Stephanie Burt created a university course on Taylor Swift and her lyrics, the poetry scholar didn't expect hundreds of people to show up on the first day. Expanding upon Burt's lectures, this audiobook provides a fairly balanced exploration of Swift's music, various controversies, and the inspirations for her massive discography. Narrator Janina Edwards provides the perfect blend of enthusiasm and thoughtful delivery as listeners learn about Swift's collaborators and well-known loves and losses. Edwards sounds like a great college professor who truly enjoys her subject. V.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2025]
