A cultural phenomenon. A worldwide obsession. An agent of emotional chaos. There's no parallel to Taylor Swift in history: a teenage girl who turns into the world's favorite pop star, songwriter, storyteller, guitar hero, live performer, changing how music is made and heard. Heartbreak Is The National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music is the first book that goes deep on the musical and cultural impact of Taylor Swift. Now, Rob Sheffield, the bestselling and award-winning author of Dreaming The Beatles, On Bowie, and Love Is A Mix Tape, and legendary Rolling Stone journalist who has chronicled Taylor for every step of her long career gets to the heart of Swift and her music, her fan connection, her raw power--in a book as brilliant, fresh, and fascinating as Taylor herself.
