As Swift expressed in her announcement post on social, “We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually.”
The first being — The Official Eras Tour Book, which Swift went on to share will be “filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night.” And the second, — being The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD will all be available for the first time ever. Both of which of which will be available exclusively at Target, beginning Black Friday (November 29) in-store, and online on November 30.
According to the details on Target’s website, not only will the Anthology version of her latest album finally be available in both physical formats, but four acoustic bonus tracks will be included with the 31-song collection of the previous digital release, for a total of 35 tracks altogether.
The vinyl release includes four marbled, translucent LPs, accompanied by a 12-by-12 inch poster and is set to retail for $59.99, while the CD edition will retail for $17.99.
Meanwhile, the 256-page Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book, promises to include more than 500 images, with photos of performances from every segment of the three-hour-plus show, rehearsals and behind-the-scenes images of instruments, costumes, set pieces and designer sketches, plus Swift’s personal reflections and notes, will set you back $39.99.
Swift concluded her post noting that information on an international release would be coming soon.
Swift will be wrapping up her extensive worldwide nearly 2-year long tour with 18 final dates in the U.S. and Canada. Starting with the first of five 3-night runs in Miami on October 18-20, and concluding in Vancouver, December 6-8.
