Taylor Swift Releasing Eras Tour Book and ‘Tortured Poets Department’ Anthology Vinyl/CD on Black Friday

Taylor Swift is about to make your Black Friday much brighter. On Tuesday (Oct. 15) the singer announced two Target exclusives lined up for Nov. 29 that will give a sneak peek into her billion-dollar Eras Tour and add some extra glitter to her The Tortured Poets Department album.

The official Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book will give Swifties a new look at the ongoing tour with behind-the-scenes photos and personal reflections written by Swift, as well as more than 500 images, including unseen performance shots from every era and exclusive rehearsal photos, according to a release announcing the project. The 256-page book ($39.99) covers the tour from start-to-finish, with images of instruments, costumes, set pieces and designer sketches from the span of the year-long outing.

“Here is the official retrospective of the most wondrous tour of my life, my beloved Eras Tour,” Swift said in a statement about the tour that has hit five continents over more than 100 shows. “Thank you to the fans who came to this show. You were what made The Eras Tour what it became.”

In addition, the Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology (previously available as a digital album only) will be issued on vinyl ($59.99) and CD ($17.99) for the first time, also exclusively at Target while supplies last. The vinyl version of the 35-track album, including four bonus acoustic songs (“I Can See You,” “You Are In Love,” “Death By a Thousand Cuts” and “Maroon”), will also feature a never-before-seen poster of Swift and come on four marbled, translucent discs.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday morning announcing the projects, Swift wrote, “We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually.”

Both items will be available in Target stores only on Black Friday, before they are added to the Target app and Target.com on Nov. 30.

Swift will reboot the Eras Tour for a final North American run on Friday (Oct. 18) with a trio of shows at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami with special guest Gracie Abrams. The outing is slated to wind down on Dec. 8 with the third and final gig at BC Place in Vancouver.
