Dear Reader
Dear Reader: An Immersive Literary Journey Through Taylor Swift’s Lyrics (Watkins, 2025)
What started as an interest in the storytelling behind Taylor Swift's music became Dear Reader, a published exploration of the literary references, cultural influences, and narratives woven throughout her lyrics.
Part literary analysis and part celebration of storytelling, the book brings together two things I've always loved: writing and finding meaning in the art we connect with.
