Taylor Swift has big plans for once the Eras Tour has wrapped and is set to release a novel she’s been working on since she was a teenager.

It was reported at the end of August Taylor Swift is planning to add another string to her bow, becoming an author!

According to the tabloids Taylor has plans to release her debut novel once the Eras Tour comes to an end in November. Titled A Girl Called Girl, the novel follows a mother who has a daughter but had hoped for a son, a story she apparently wrote when she was a teenager but has kept under wraps for years.

However, it's since emerged the rumours are false, and Taylor's post-Eras Tour plans remain as unknown as the 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' release date.

Back in 2015 Taylor secured the trademark rights to the novel, any audio versions of it and any accompanying merchandise in 2015. Her parents have apparently been looking after the manuscript since she first wrote it.

Taylor’s touched on her dreams to become an author in the past, telling the crowd during her ‘Speak Now’ tour in 2012 that she started writing the book when all her friends were in another state.

"All my friends were back in Pennsylvania, so I had nothing to do,” she told the audience. “I had this epiphany; I’m going to be a novelist and I’m going to write novels. That’s going to be my career path.”

How Taylor would find the time to publish a novel when fans are waiting on her final two re-recordings, ‘Taylor Swift’ and ‘Reputation’, we’ll never know.

However, before that Taylor’s got Eras Tour dates in Toronto and Vancouver to complete, having rounded off her European leg of the tour in London in August.

Taylor appeared to drop an Easter egg about releasing a novel in ‘All Too Well: The Short Film’, where she plays a red-haired author doing a reading from her new book, portraying the grown-up version of Sadie Sink’s character, a young Miss Swift.

The book on display was also called ‘All Too Well’, with the description beneath reading: “A stunning debut novel.”

A glimpse into Taylor’s not-too distant future perhaps?
