Recensioner i media

Scholarship examining Taylor Swift and her fans is still relatively new for studies in popular culture. In Blank Space: Taylor Swift and Contingent Identities, Keith Nainby presents a multi-layered look that juxtaposes his own experiences as a Swiftie with others who have found solace in Taylor Swift’s music. It is a noteworthy addition to the gender and pop music genre.
