An intimate look at the life and music of modern pop's most legendary figure, Taylor Swift, from leading music journalist Rob Sheffield. A cultural phenomenon. A worldwide obsession.

Never fear, Nanny Piggins is here! When Mr. Green calls from a tropical island, begging to be rescued, Nanny Piggins' first instinct is to say no. However, a principle is at stake.
