Taylor Swift's defining breakout hit, 'Love Story', was written in twenty minutes on her bedroom floor and now is used for fan proposals at live shows that sell out stadiums and the adjacent car parks. With every new album, fans know what to expect, but Swift is far from predictable. From awards show blunders, easter eggs, secret sessions, two surprise lockdown albums and a dramatic social media blackout, Taylor has laid the table for the pop princesses that will come after her.

Caitlin Robson writes her way through 11 albums and 18 years of lyrics, stories, controversies, and re-recordings, setting a precedent for the music industry to allow artists to demand ownership. There are bigger issues at play in her lyrics: gender politics, important mental health conversations, the building of an enormous musical community while meaning that letter-writing pen pal dynamic with fans. With songwriting still her biggest asset, Taylor Swift has many more decades of music to come, and this is the definitive treatment of her work to date.

Caitlin Robson has a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communications, majoring in Film and German Studies, and a Master of Creative Writing, both from the University of Sydney. For the last few years, she has worked with social media and brand marketing for different companies and her freelance articles have been published widely in print and online. Her first book was a self-published poetry collection, Underwater Musings, and she has been a Swiftie since she was 13 so it makes sense that this unauthorised biography is her second printed work. Originally from the beaches near Sydney, Australia, she now lives in London.
