Taylor Swift shares announcement on Good Morning America

Taylor Swift has announced that a book will be published on November 29, featuring never-before-seen photos from her record-breaking Eras Tour, along with rehearsal photos and reflections written by her.

The pop star appeared on Tuesday’s (October 15) episode of Good morning America to share the news as she unveiled her latest album The Department of Martyred Poets: The Anthology would be available for the first time on vinyl and CD, exclusively at the American department store Target.

“We’re kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to fathom,” Swift, 34, wrote in a statement on Instagram.

“This tour was the most wonderful experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, actually in two ways.”

The 239-page book, priced at $39.99 (£30.57), features more than 500 images, including previously unpublished photos from every “era” segment of Swift’s ongoing tour.

Described by the artist as “the official overview” of her concert series, which she describes as “the most wonderful tour of my life”, it also includes images of instruments, set pieces, designer sketches and costumes used during the tour.

Swift contributed personal reflections and notes to the book, written while performing in sold-out stadiums in cities around the world.

“Here is the official retrospective of the most wonderful tour of my life, my beloved Eras Tour,” she said in an additional statement. “Thank you to the fans who came to this show. You made the Eras Tour what it became.”

Swift has released multiple “versions” of TTPD, which was released on April 19, including limited edition vinyls with various artwork and bonus tracks.

The new one Anthology version – released on “Black Friday” and priced at $59.99 (£45.87) includes 35 songs, including four acoustic bonus tracks, and a new “never-before-seen” poster of Swift. The vinyl will also be available at Target on November 29th.

Swift performed the eighth and final show of the UK and European leg of her Eras tour in August, bringing out surprise guests Florence and the Machine and her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.

The concert at London’s Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, August 20, marked the first time Swift performed “Florida,” her duet with Welch from The department of tortured poetsduring a live show.

She also performed an acoustic duet of 2019’s “Death by a Thousand Cuts” and 2017’s “Getaway Car,” both co-written and co-produced with Antonoff.

Last month, she angered Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump by endorsing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz.

In a lengthy post on Instagram, she said that after watching the presidential debate, Harris is “fighting for the rights and causes I believe.”

Trump later declared “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” in an all-caps post from his Truth Social account.
