Morgane Giuliani takes out this book dedicated to Taylor Swift, an American singer ultra known at home for more than a decade, but which has taken time to settle in France. Furthermore, The journalist traces her journey and dissects her songs to be able to talk better about the life of Swift. Furthermore, If Giuliani denies it in the introduction. Consequently, it is very quickly realized that it is also a “swiftie”, name of this community of fans following very closely their idol. Moreover, This book is therefore not to be put in all hands. Moreover, not that it is dangerous, but because it is exclusively addressed to “Swifies”.

Thus. In addition, and paradoxically quite, being taylor swift, “normal” presidency • read we have this feeling that the big absent from this book on Taylor Swift is Taylor Swift herself. Furthermore, It would be fairer to write that it is a book of a fan. journalist, who wants to analyze the words of the songs written by Swift as leaving the Bible (her religion adoring the goddess Swift herself). Everything she tells. about her private life or her relationship to the world, in her sung words or in interview, is taken as cash. As the star describes himself as a person who seeks to do “good”. so so be it, Amen, there will be almost no critical distance on the more than 400 pages of the book.

By caricaturing Giuliani’s position. if someone has the misfortune to criticize Swift, it is that he is probably an anti -feminist man because we live in a patriarchal society and women attack the taylor swift, “normal” presidency • face. Starting from this postulate. Swift becomes untouchable, “protected” by his community and all the more since she claimed to be “feminist” over the years. Public disputes (which I had never heard) that Swift could have lived throughout his life are dissected in detail. as if we were live on X, making low strokes (marketing) between relatively interesting stars taken in the global history of humanity.

Besides these countless pages describing the words of songs. we follow the Swift course, born into a rich family and whose parents followed the dreams of greatness. In a few years. become the (one) queen of American pop, she must now account: too white, too “kind” than to be innocent, too rich, too polluting, too republican, too democratic, too feminist or not enough, she embodies more than what she would have liked to embody. And if this vision is properly vertiginous. that of taylor swift, “normal” presidency • the billionaire star wishing to ensure a “normal” presidency and taken to her own trap, the journalist will never dig the subject if not in two sentences in the conclusion.

If the book makes you want to know more. listen to Swift, or at least discover its songs (like Blank Space), to put a name behind these rhythms and these words that went in a loop on the radio 10 years ago, he leaves a funny taste in the mouth. Swift appears there only through pieces of interviews given along his career. but not to the author of the novel, which is a big lack. Because he would undoubtedly have gained in depth, honesty, perhaps ambiguity too. By closing these 450 long pages. Swift remains a white and smooth monolith, an American celebrity (almost) like any other, therefore not paying tribute to his phenomenal career and his longevity in taylor swift, “normal” presidency • the pop world.
