On this episode of Book Wise, host Britt AKA Dr. Books delves into the shelves of Taylor Swift’s bookcase, to discuss T Swi’s fave 3 books based on the real lives of real people.


Part armchair therapist, part soothsayer, part pop culture historian — Dr. Books entertains a few working theories around just WHY Taylor might love these books.


We’re talkin’ tabloid marketing, bucking societal norms, rock star myth making, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and an online movement known as “Gaylor Swift.”

Yup, much like Degrassi, the Canadian soap starring a young Drake, it goes there. 


Books mentioned:

• “Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century” by Sam Kashner & Nancy Schoenberger

• “Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me” by Pattie Boyd and Penny Junor

• “Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia” by Elizabeth Gilbert
