The book came about after Swift found herself with ‘nothing to do’ before her career really took off. Taylor Swift, fresh off her mammoth Eras Tour, is already plotting her next career move. It’s no secret that the Shake It Off hit-maker, 34, is a prolific writer and is reportedly planning to release her debut novel.
The book, titled A Girl Called Girl, was written by Swift when she was just 14 and follows the story of a mother who wanted a son instead of a daughter. Despite being penned two decades ago, it has never seen the light of day and the draft was previously believed to be in the care of her parents.
The star has since trademarked the name and rights to her debut novel, however, it’s not the first time she has trademarked the book.
In 2015 she secured the rights to the name for the very first time, but nothing further happened. Now, according to The Sun, Swift’s new trademark covers merchandise for the book, as well as audio versions, so it appears she is really determined to make it happen this time around.
The Standard has contacted a representative for Taylor Swift for comment. Opening up on the project previously, Swift revealed that she started writing the book 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 told fans at the time: “All my friends were back in Pennsylvania, so I had nothing to do.
“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.”
