Review by Booklist Review

"Being a Swiftie has never felt like a one-sided relationship," entertainment writer and long-time Swift fan Pomarico writes about the special relationship the singer has with her fans, one she's cultivated since her start on the country music scene in Nashville in the mid-aughts. Early on, Swift would connect with fans via MySpace and YouTube vlogs, and she even hosted a meet-and-greet in Nashville in 2010 at CMA Fest several months before the release of her third album, Speak Now. As Swift's fame has grown, her relationship with her fans has evolved. She delights in dropping numeric clues and visual Easter eggs into her music videos and social media posts for fans to decode. Swift regularly sends her parents out into the audience at her record-breaking tours to pull fans backstage to meet her. Swift's latest album and Eras tour continue to break records, and her fans feel more connected to her than ever. Filled with pictures, graphics, and sidebars, this is a delightful, joyful, and personal tribute to Swift and her fans.
