Taylor Swift Fans Are ‘Shaking & Crying’ Over Her Eras Tour Book & ‘TTPD’ Anthology Announcement
Written by djfrosty on October 15, 2024
It’s a good day to be a Taylor Swift fan. On Tuesday (Oct. 15), the pop star announced on Good Morning America that her official self-published Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book as well as The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on CD and vinyl would be hitting Target shelves this holiday season, sending Swifties into a spiral of excitement online.
As with any major Taylor announcement, the 14-time Grammy winner’s admirers immediately convened on social media to rejoice over the fact that photos from the historic global trek and Swift’s own personal reflections would soon be packaged together in 256 pages, available the day after Thanksgiving 2024. “I CANT WAIT TO BRING THE ERAS TOUR BOOK AND THE ANTHOLOGY HOME,” one person tweeted, sharing a photo of her concert booklets from past Swift tours.

“the eras tour book having her ‘reflections’ from the tour is so exciting but so terrifying im about to be shaking and crying every time i turn a page oh my god,” another fan wrote on X.
Some fans joked about going toe-to-toe with each other to secure their copies come Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year in the U.S. Other people expressed how excited they were to pore over the book for decades to come. “Me 30 years from now reading the eras tour book,” one fan wrote, sharing an image of an elderly woman reading outside with a glass of wine.
Swift’s book announcement comes more than a year and a half after she first launched the Eras Tour in March 2023, starting with a North American leg that eventually gave way to stretches in Latin America, Asia, Australia and Europe. There are now just five stops left on the tour, with the “Anti-Hero” singer set to return from a two-month break with a limited run of shows in the U.S. and Canada starting Oct. 18 in Miami.
In addition to the book, Swift is also commemorating the end of the tour by finally releasing physical versions of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, which dropped in April and spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The vinyls and CDs will only be available at Target starting Nov. 29, just like the Eras Tour hardcover.
