October 13 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Washington Post reporter Emily Yahr joins Sarah Rodman to discuss Taylor Swift: The Debut Years, an intimate look at the Nashville chapter that shaped one of the world’s biggest pop stars. The book follows a teenage Swift as she learns to navigate songwriting rooms, record labels, industry gatekeepers, and the competitive country-music world while developing the instincts and ambition that would later define her career.
Drawing on never-before-published interviews and stories from collaborators and industry figures including Scott Borchetta, Nathan Chapman, and Liz Rose, Yahr explores the risks, decisions, and relationships behind Swift’s earliest success.
