Covers Taylor’s rise from a misunderstood writer to a multiplatinum selling artist. Features the inside story on her high profile relationships (including one with Joe of the Jonas Brothers) as well as her video editing, clothes designing, poetry, acting roles and charity campaigns.

 

Includes unusual facts about Taylor including her experiments with rap, hip-hop and death metal music, her meeting with Jay-Z as an unknown artist at age 11 and her collaboration with heavy rock group Def Leppard, where the unlikely pair of acts covered each other’s songs.
