    Daniel Wheway was born in England, 1991, and grew up with a keen interest in music much older than himself, especially that of legendary American artists such as Elvis Presley, Cher, Michael Jackson, Meat Loaf, Deborah Harry and Tina Turner. THE CHER BIBLE He created several blogs and websites dedicated to music, with the most popular being 'Cher News', for which he wrote over 500 original articles, attracting 2,000,000 views. He produced 'The Cher Bible', a small series of books consisting of a collection of interesting ideas about Cher. 'Vol. 1: Essentials' and 'Vol. 2: Timeline' have been released. "I have been a Cher fan since the mid-1990's, when I was about six years old. My father was watching 'Extravaganza — Live At The Mirage'. As soon as I saw Cher performing 'We All Sleep Alone', I was hooked." — The Cher bible, Vol. 1: Essentials 2018 sees the release of The Cher Bible 2018 Edition series. MUSIC GUIDES Daniel has already released music guides on Blondie & Deborah Harry, Wham!, Dead Or Alive & Pete Burns and Sonny & Cher — primarily consisting of biographies, discographies and filmographies. His most recent one is of Meat Loaf. "My major fandom came when Atomic was used on the soundtrack of 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City', the video game. I must have only been around thirteen years old. But to me, that song was, and is, phenomenal." — The Essential Guide To Blondie & Deborah Harry Follow Daniel on Twitter @D_Wheway to find out about his latest releases and to put forward any suggestions.

      Introduction

      Taylor Swift is inarguably one of the most successful artists of this generation. She scored her 70th US Hot 100 entry in 2016, and has sold over 130-million singles worldwide, including US#1's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Shake It Off, Blank Space and Bad Blood.

      Taylor has also sold over 40-million albums, including four consecutive Billboard 200 #1's – Fearless, Speak Now, Red and 1989 – and has already won a whopping ten Grammy Awards.

      The Taylor Swift Story: 1989-2009
