Without intending to give any more oxygen to the frenzy that surrounds one T. Swift's arrival in Australia, I have just begun to listen to her work. I want to find out what its all about - the queues, the stories of ticket heartbreak, the media documenting of her every move.

I'll start with the most recent album and work backwards. Only then can I reasonably offer a critique, should one be needed. There is little point in dismissing something that you are almost entirely ignorant of.
