Taylor Swift is set to add a new feather to her cap with a recent announcement that has left her fans buzzing with excitement. On Tuesday, October 15, the singer-songwriter made an exclusive appearance on Good Morning America to reveal her latest project: a forthcoming book. Swift’s surprise announcement marks her official debut as an author, adding another significant accomplishment to her already illustrious career.
The book, which will coincide with the conclusion of her blockbuster Eras Tour in December, is described as a reflection on the “most wondrous tour” of her life. Spanning 256 pages, the book promises an in-depth look at the tour, featuring never-before-seen photographs and personal memories from Swift herself. Fans can expect to relive the highlights of the record-breaking tour through what Swift calls the “official perspective.”

In addition to the tour-focused book, Swift also announced the release of a physical anthology tied to her latest surprise album, The Tortured Poets Department. The album, which had caught fans off-guard upon its release, will now be explored further through this anthology, addressing long-standing fan requests for more insight into the project. Both the book and the anthology will be sold exclusively at Target, with availability beginning on Black Friday, according to a report from Parade.

Swift took to social media to share the news, posting on X (formerly Twitter), where her fans—known as Swifties—immediately went into overdrive with their reactions.
Swifties React to the Big News
The announcement has generated significant excitement across social media platforms, with Swifties expressing a mix of joy and disbelief. “Crying that this tour is coming to an end, but so excited we get to live those memories through a beautiful tour book,” one fan tweeted. Another user commented, “Did this just confirm no Reputation Taylor’s Version this year?”—referring to the anticipated re-recorded album that many fans have been waiting for.
However, not all reactions were positive. Some fans were disappointed by the exclusivity of the products being available only at Target, with one fan venting, “ONLY at Target?! Why do you hate your non-American fans?”
Swift’s latest venture into the literary world proves that she continues to evolve, surprising fans at every turn, as she concludes one chapter and opens another.
