From artistic decisions to marketing campaigns, the new book chronicles the ‘business and creative decisions that have defined each phase of Swift’s career’<\/em><\/p>\n

Taylor Swift has won over legions of fans with her buoyant melodies and heart-stirring lyrics, but the 14-time Grammy winner and Diamond-certified recording artist has also charmed an entire music industry with her acuity and savviness, turning a usually cynical crowd into some of her biggest fans.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s business acumen is explored in a new book that\u2019s now topping Amazon\u2019s music business books chart.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cThere\u2019s Nothing Like This:<\/strong> The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift,\u201d the hardcover book from Harvard Business Review editor Kevin Evers details Swift\u2019s successful rise up the charts \u2014 and also up the ranks of the old boys club of the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

As the publisher notes state, \u201cMixing business and art, analysis and narrative, and pulling from research in innovation, creativity, psychology, and strategy, \u2018There\u2019s Nothing Like This\u2019 presents Swift as the modern and multidimensional superstar that she is\u2014a songwriting savant and a strategic genius.<\/p>\n

From her genre-busting rise in country music as a teenager to the economic juggernaut that is the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has blazed a path that is uniquely hers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 304-page book breaks down Swift\u2019s success over nine chapters, each tied to a seminal album in her career.<\/p>\n

Opening chapter, \u201cThe Vision,\u201d leads with the singer\u2019s 2006 self-titled debut album, with Evers writing about how some of the songs quickly became \u201cindustry disruptors\u201d for the then-country artist.<\/p>\n

In the chapter dubbed \u201cThe Crossover,\u201d Evers explores how 2008\u2019s Fearless began setting the path for Swift\u2019s mainstream success and rise to fame.<\/p>\n

The chapters offer insight into how the singer has managed to scale her success, through targeted marketing campaigns and artistic decisions. The author writes that Swift has \u201cmanaged to master the constant disruption in the music business that has made it so hard for others to adapt and endure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, there are some chapters that may be controversial to fans or die-hard Swifties. Evers heralds the 1989 album as Swift\u2019s \u201cReinvention,\u201d while calling the Reputation era \u201cThe Fail.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s Covid albums, Folklore and Evermore, meantime, are detailed under a chapter called \u201cThe Pivot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evers draws on the same research and analysis he\u2019s applied to company founders, innovators and entrepreneurs during his years at Harvard Business Review, chronicling the \u201cbusiness and creative decisions that have defined each phase of Swift\u2019s career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, he concludes that Swift is \u201cThe Beatles of her generation,\u201d calling her a \u201ctrailblazer\u201d and \u201cmastermind, with a \u201ccareer in music that it\u2019s hard to imagine will ever be matched.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Part tell-all book and part how-to guide, \u201cThe Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift\u201d offers music fans and Swifties alike a chance to learn from one of the biggest pop stars of all time.<\/p>\n

As one reviewer notes, you\u2019ll learn about \u201cTaylor\u2019s decision-making in every single era of her career,\u201d while helping to \u201cclarify how she became the major superstar she is today.\u201d Pick up the book on sale for $25 right now on Amazon.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
