Heartbreak Is the National Anthem by Rob Sheffield
Heartbreak Is the National Anthem is an intimate look at Taylor Swift’s life and music from the legendary Rolling Stone journalist Rob Sheffield*.
This “affectionate homage from an ardent fan” is required reading for any Swifite worth her salt. It easily could be a one-sitting book, and without a doubt, Rob Sheffield gets right to the heart of Swift, her lyrics, and her fan connection. Suffice to say, he “can make the whole place shimmer.”
*If are a music-loving Gen X-er and you haven’t read Sheffield’s other books, Love Is a Mix Tape and Talking to Girls about Duran Duran you need to go do that right now. They are both great on audio.
