Taylor Swift thrilled her fans with the release of The Eras Tour Book alongside a vinyl and CD version of The Tortured Poets Department. Eager Swifties queued as early as 3 a.m. at stores like one in Lynchburg, Virginia, to snag these much-anticipated items for themselves.
Fans Share Mixed Reactions to Book Design and Details
Following the release, fans nicknamed the book ‘The Errors Tour Book’ after spotting a few typos and layout quirks. For instance, the song “This is Me Trying” from Folklore was mistakenly listed as “This is Me Rying,” while the Evermore track “Gold Rush” was merged into one word instead of two.

Some Swifties also noted that the layout made certain photos hard to appreciate. The book had images spread across two pages hiding key details. A few even pointed out that some pictures seemed a little blurry, leading them to believe that they might be stills from The Eras Tour concert film rather than high-resolution images.
Fans Respond
One person wrote: “I don’t understand how this could happen, her entire public persona is crafted around being a thoughtful and meticulous writer.”
Another suggested: “I think there was a deadline… I honestly feel like they could have waited and done it properly after the eras tour ended… it’s kinda crazy to release this before the eras tour ended. Felt rushed.”
Why these Errors Might have Happened
Publishing experts believe a rushed publishing schedule could be to blame for these small imperfections. Jessika Hazelton, a creative director at The Troy Book Makers, shared her thoughts. “For something like this ‘Eras Tour Book,’ I suspect there was a tight deadline to get the book out in time for the holidays, and it was not looked over as thoroughly as it might have been,” she said.
Despite the small mistakes, Swifties are excited to own a piece of Taylor Swift’s incredible year. Many see the Eras Tour Book as a special keepsake that captures the magic of her journey. It will make a cherished addition to their collections.
