In doing so, she uncovers the importance of fan devotion: how Ariana Grande represents both tragedy and resilience to her followers, or what it means to meet an artist like Lady Gaga in person. From One Directioners, to members of the Beyhive, to the author's own fandom experiences, this book reclaims the \"fangirl\" label for its young members, celebrating their purpose, their power, and, most of all, their passion for the music they love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHannah Ewens is currently the Features Editor and a writer at \u003ci\u003eVICE\u003c\/i\u003e.
