Swifities were out in full force on Black Friday.
On Friday (Nov. 29), Taylor Swift‘s devoted fanbase flooded many of Target’s nearly 2,000 stores across the nation, eager to grab exclusive merchandise.
This year, the retail giant teamed up with the 34-year-old pop star to offer a range of special items, including a Black Friday-exclusive version of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD, as well as Swift’s official The Eras Tour book.
“Ok shopping in target was so enjoyable today! ONLY Taylor swift music played the entire time, plenty of books, nice people. I talked to some sweet swifties. Successful Black Friday!!” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another Swiftie posted on X that around 100 fans were already in line at their local Target in Southern California by 5:45 a.m. on Black Friday.
Trending on Billboard
Meanwhile, fans in the Midwest braved freezing temperatures, waiting for hours to score some of the exclusive merch. “Yeah, it’s really cold but we’re here to get Taylor Swift’s tour book and her latest vinyl drop,” a 31-year old Swift fan said while waiting outside a Target in Chicago, Reuters reports.
The 35-track album, featuring four bonus acoustic tracks, was available for the first time on vinyl ($59.99) and CD ($17.99) on Black Friday. Shoppers could find it in Target stores starting Nov. 29, with availability on Target.com on Nov. 30.
Previously, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology was only offered as a digital release.
The Official Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book ($39.99) was also available in Target stores on Nov. 29, and can be ordered online at Target.com beginning Nov. 30. This 256-page hardcover book includes personal reflections from Swift, along with more than 500 images, including never-before-seen performance shots, rehearsal photos and behind-the-scenes moments from the tour.
“Here is the official retrospective of the most wondrous tour of my life, my beloved Eras Tour,” Swift said in a previous statement about the tour, which has spanned five continents and over 100 shows. “Thank you to the fans who came to these shows. You were the ones who made The Eras Tour what it became.”
The “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” singer recently wrapped up a six-night run at Toronto’s Rogers Centre and will conclude her blockbuster The Eras Tour with a three-night stint at Vancouver’s BC Place from Dec. 6-8.
Members of NewJeans have announced they are parting ways with their label ADOR, a subsidiary of HYBE.
In a late-night press conference on Thursday (Nov. 28), the five-member K-pop group, which formed in 2022, revealed that they are severing ties with ADOR due to allegations that the label had violated their contract.
“Once we leave ADOR, we’ll aim to proceed freely with the activities that we really desire,” member Danielle said, according to Reuters. “We really wish to be able to release new music for Bunnies, next year, as soon as possible, whenever,” she added, referencing the group’s fanbase. “We really hope that we have the opportunity to meet you guys from all around the world.”
NewJeans also stated that, after their contract termination, they may no longer be able to use their group name going forward.
In response, ADOR maintained that its agreement with NewJeans “remains in full effect.” The label urged the group to continue collaborating on upcoming projects. “We respectfully request that the group continue its collaboration with ADOR,” the statement read, according to Reuters.
Trending on Billboard
NewJeans’ announcement comes amid a months-long management dispute between HYBE and ADOR’s former CEO, Min Hee-jin, who also serves as the group’s creative director. Earlier this year, HYBE accused Hee-jin of attempting to take the company independent, a claim he denied. During Thursday’s press conference, NewJeans expressed a desire to continue working with Hee-jin.
Earlier this month, NewJeans sent a legal notice to HYBE outlining a list of demands, including the reinstatement of Min Hee-jin as CEO of ADOR. The group warned that if their demands were not met, they would terminate their contract, according to CNBC. NewJeans was previously bound by a seven-year contract with ADOR, set to expire in 2029, Rolling Stone reports.
In October, NewJeans member Hanni tearfully testified before South Korea’s parliament, alleging she had experienced workplace harassment at the company. The Seoul Regional Office of Employment and Labor announced on Nov. 20 that it had closed its investigation, concluding that Hanni could not be considered an employee under the law.

Drake made an announcement that isn’t getting him cooked, for now. The 6 God will be touring Australia and New Zealand in 2025 for the Anita Max Win Tour.
On Thursday (Nov. 28), Drake and Live Nation announced tour dates in Australia and New Zealand that start on Sunday, February 9 at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena. The Anita Max Win Tour will also hit Sydney and Brisbane throughout February before concluding on March 1, 2025 at the Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand.
The tour is Drizzy’s first time Down Under since 2017 during the Boy Meets World Tour. Drake’s most recent tour was the sold-out It’s All A Blur Tour, which included 21 Savage and J. Cole.
This news arrives after Drake has been getting roasted online for a couple of legal motions; the first accusing the Universal Music Group (UMG) of boosting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” streaming numbers and the second alleging that UMG helped defame him by promoting K. Dot calling him a pedophile in the aforementioned record.
Check out the full schedule for the Anita Max Win Tour below.
