Synopsis

Singer-songwriter. Trailblazer. Mastermind. The Beatles of her generation. 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. But how exactly has she managed to scale her success—multiple times—while dominating an industry that cycles through artists and stars like fashion trends? How has she managed to make and remake herself time and again while remaining true to her artistic vision? And how has she managed to master the constant disruption in the music business that has made it so hard for others to adapt and endure?

In There's Nothing Like This, Kevin Evers, a senior editor at Harvard Business Review, answers these questions in riveting detail. With the same thoughtful analysis usually devoted to iconic founders, game-changing innovators, and pioneering brands, Evers chronicles the business and creative decisions that have defined each phase of Swift's career.

Mixing business and art, analysis and narrative, and pulling from research in innovation, creativity, psychology, and strategy, There's Nothing Like This presents Swift as the modern and multidimensional superstar that she is—a songwriting savant and a strategic genius.

Nie jestem Swiftie i wcale fanką artystki nie trzeba być, by ten tytuł docenić – to byłabym dobra lektura dla pracowników czy studentów brandingu/marketingu/PRu; o rynku muzycznym, cechach podnoszących szansę na osiągnięcie sukcesu, sprycie i kalkulacji......more

Goodreads review by Joanne on October 03, 2025

Looking at Taylor Swift’s career through the lens of a business model feels like studying one of the most successful startups of all time. In There’s Nothing Like This, Kevin Evers—obviously an unabashed fan—frames Swift’s trajectory around “her” savvy strategic choices, some traced back as early as......more

Goodreads review by L (Nineteen Adze) on June 04, 2025

First impressions: this was an enjoyable read! It can be dry in places, but I think the author does a great job explaining business concepts/ philosophy in the context of pop artists. My one complaint is that the structure is great up through 1989 (featuring four chapters for her debut self-titled a......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on August 12, 2025

A review from someone who is *not* a certified Swiftie. This book was well-researched and full of information about Taylor Swift's career from start until 2025. It's an excellent read for anyone interested in business strategy but also pop culture. She emerged as a cultural phenomenon in my youth an......more
