Hans van der Loo - Taylor Swift

The Rise of a Musical, Social, and Business Genius

(AUTO)BIOGRAPHY | MUSIC

Jump to: Book details | About the author | Table of contents

Taylor Swift has become a musical, social, and business phenomenon. How did she do this?

Taylor Swift is no audacious rock chick. Just as modest and friendly as when her career started, but the girl next door has grown up. With her ability to turn personal experiences into songs, she touches millions of people all over the world. Her concerts are record-breaking, she has amassed a huge following of fanatic Swifties, and she earns billions with her albums and performances.

But there is more. Taylor’s influence reaches beyond her music. She has become a powerful voice in the political debate. Her candid opinion on women’s rights, LHBTIQ+ rights, and US politics show that she’s an artist who isn’t afraid to use her influence for the issues that matter to her.

Taylor is one of the most extraordinary individuals of our times.
