How much is Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Book?

On Sunday (Dec 1), a longterm Swiftie named Emily (@emermore7) posted a viral TikTok, with the caption: "I know I’m not the only one disappointed with the Eras Tour book, but I haven’t seen anyone else talk about the glaringly obvious grammatical errors and clunky sentences within the pages."

She added: "I make this video with peace, love, and a general frustration about how easy many of these problems could have been fixed with one more set of editing eyes. This book just had so much potential, and with a little tweaking it could have been absolutely spectacular."

In the video, Emily says: "When I got home and started flipping through this book, I was actually blown away at the amount of grammatical mistakes that I saw. I am seriously questioning if this book was even edited."

Emily then points out that it contains repeated phrases, rogue commas, spelling mistakes, two-page photographs that don't line up properly and photographs that are "blurry". She calls it "The Errors Tour Book".

Emily also points out that "'this is me trying' is written as 'this is me rying' [and] 'gold rush' is written as 'goldrush'".

Target are selling The Eras Tour book for $39.99.

Emily's video has since been viewed over 800,000 times with fans debating whether it matters in the comments. One person agreed with Emily's frustrations by writing: "Crazy that so many swifties are mad at you as if this isn’t valid criticism."

Another added: "It’s also frusturating that most of the text is literally just describing what was happening on stage- which we have documented so heavily. i wanted background info and tea and her behind the scenes."

As it stands, Taylor is yet to address the controversy. It's also possible that these errors will be amended in future editions of the book. Bookmark this page and we'll keep you posted with any updates.
