Prepare for a wave of literary excitement as two new novels inspired by the music and persona of pop sensation Taylor Swift are set to release this fall. Published by Scholastic, these books promise to captivate fans with engaging stories centered around characters who share a deep admiration for Swift. The first book, The Taylors, penned by Jen Calonita, introduces readers to Teffy, a middle school student navigating the challenges of her new environment. Upon discovering four classmates named Taylor who also adore Swift, Teffy finds herself in an unexpected friendship that faces its own trials. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Eulberg’s young adult novel, Love Stories: The Taylors Version #1, picks up years later, exploring the evolving relationships and personal growth of the same group of friends as they enter high school. Both authors bring their extensive writing experience to these projects, offering unique perspectives on love, friendship, and the power of music.

Calonita’s The Taylors takes readers back to the formative years of middle school. Teffy, like many young students, feels anxious about starting a new chapter in her life. However, her worries turn into excitement when she meets four other girls named Taylor in her class, all of whom are passionate fans of Taylor Swift. As the Eras tour comes to town, the group's bond strengthens, but a betrayal tests their friendship. Through this journey, Teffy learns the importance of standing up for what is right and discovers her voice amidst the chaos. The story highlights the transformative power of shared interests and the resilience of youthful friendships.

Eulberg’s Love Stories: The Taylors Version #1 fast-forwards to the characters’ high school years, where the dynamics between them shift dramatically. Freshman year brings new romances and challenges. Teffy has a crush on her neighbor, while Tay is intrigued by a “tortured poet.” Taylor catches the eye of an older boy, and TS develops feelings for her soccer teammate. These evolving relationships force the girls to navigate complex emotions and test the strength of their long-standing friendship. The novel delves into themes of first loves, self-discovery, and the enduring impact of Swift’s music on their lives.

Jen Calonita and Elizabeth Eulberg, both seasoned authors with over 50 books between them, have channeled their passion for Taylor Swift into these novels. Calonita, a mother and devoted Swiftie, relates to the challenge of securing tickets to the Eras tour, hoping her book will offer readers a sense of wish fulfillment. Eulberg, who has been a fan since Swift’s debut, emphasizes how no one captures the essence of love and heartbreak quite like Swift. She expresses her excitement about bringing these stories to life, drawing inspiration from Swift’s timeless music and hoping that readers will connect deeply with the emotional narratives.

These novels not only celebrate the music of Taylor Swift but also explore universal themes of friendship, love, and personal growth. They invite readers to step into the world of the Taylors, experiencing the highs and lows of adolescence through the lens of Swift’s influence. With publication set for October 7, 2025, fans can look forward to diving into these compelling tales, reliving concert memories or imagining themselves as part of the action. Preorders are now available wherever books are sold, promising a thrilling read for Swift enthusiasts and young literature lovers alike.
