‘A Girl Called Girl’: Taylor Swift’s Rumored Novel

by | Sep 12, 2024 | News

As the Taylor Swift Songbook exhibition wraps up in London’s Victoria & Albert museum, featuring the costumes worn by the star during her various ‘eras’, the internet is awash with stories about another book that could be on its way.

 

According to many reports the singer has secured the name and book rights to A Girl Called Girl which follows a mother who wanted a son instead of a daughter.  It seems that Swift started writing the book some years ago before her music career really took off. 

She explained during her tour in 2012 that all of her friends were back in Pennsylvania at the time so she had “nothing to do”.  She said: “I had this epiphany; I’m going to be a novelist and I’m going to write novels.  That’s going to be my career path.”

 

Swift is a storyteller and her latest album is called The Tortured Poets Department.  Fans love pointing out the literary references in her songs, from Jane Eyre to The Great Gatsby.  The possibility of the singer writing a novel seems highly plausible.  If just a few percent of the fans who have seen the star on her current global tour buy the book, then whoever is ever the lucky publisher will have a bestseller on their hands.
