TAYLOR SWIFT & SABRINA CARPENTER onstage during the 2022 American Music Awards (November 20, 2022)
in which i recommend books like the netflix algorithm
you wanted it, you got it, babes! caveat: this list is long (seriously, sorry about the length) and i canāt write blurbs for everything, but i highly recommend going and looking at anything that sounds interesting. some books will fall under multiple headings, so iām listing them twice. i am linking to their purchase pages on bookshop.org, because amazon sucks and bookshop helps support indie booksellers, but if your local indie bookstore offers delivery or curbside pickup, buy it there. and iām trying to keep this list confined to pretty recent titles, so even though a few older ones might slip in there, itās definitely centered on releases from the past few years. okay letās do this.

Here Lies Taylor Swiftās Reputation is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 13, 2017, by Republic Records. The album mixes classic country and folk with elements from blues and swing music. It was created in the aftermath of Swift facing widespread tabloid scrutiny following various disputes with other celebrities, and its dark sound marks a departure from the upbeat pop and country songs Swift was previously known for.
