It's a given that the legions of Swifties, the collective noun for Taylor Swift fans, will tune in to this two-part documentary on the American superstar. But this is also for the uninitiated, a 101 class in what makes Taylor tick, exploring not just what made her a talented multi-award-winning singer songwriter, but also why she is unique and such a powerful force for her loyal following. In many ways, it's how she has nurtured her fanbase that makes her the phenomenon she is.

Whether or not you like or listen to her music, the story of the 'little girl from Nashville' is a captivating one, of a confident, hard-working youngster who grew into the world's biggest star - the first recording artist to become a billionaire from music alone - and who has weathered the lows and always come out surviving, fighting, and ultimately, on top.

Featuring expert analysis from journalists, academics, and cultural observers, as well as commentary from fans, insiders and collaborators, the conclusion is clear and unanimous: reinvention and revenge are sweet. (Two episodes)
