Having made Swift one of the most streamed artists of all time with the highest-grossing tour and concert film in history, her record-breaking global fanbase is what has turned her into a financial and cultural powerhouse capable of raising the economic base of cities and making music history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Swifties Version \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to concentrate on Swifties as fans, taking a deep dive into the force behind the worldwide Taylor Swift phenomenon, encompassing a diverse collection of Swifties new and old-whether an archetypal merch-hungry fangirl, an unassuming office worker in Japan, or a biracial attorney who's slowly turning his friends into Taylor fans, one dude at a time.
