Taylor Swift mentioned The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein 2 times

In school I became obsessed with poetry really early on because, you know, my favorite books were the Dr. Seuss books and Shel Silverstein and like you know the books were you have the stories that come together through rhyming. And that was always my favorite book to read because it sounded like a song.

I think there are a lot of books that I loved to read when I was younger that kind of teach you lessons. You know the funny ones like Amelia Bedelia or The Giving Tree which teaches you about human compassion and being kind to others
