Taylor Swift fans have discovered numerous errors and quality issues in her official Eras Tour companion book, which was released exclusively at Target stores during Thanksgiving weekend. Despite selling over 814,000 copies at $39.99 each, the book has drawn criticism for its poor quality control.

Key Issues Identified:

  • Multiple typographical errors, including "this is me rying" instead of "this is me trying"
  • Missing spaces in song titles (e.g., "gold rush")
  • Poor photo placement causing images to be creased in the spine
  • Blurry photos that appear low-quality
  • Several images recycled from Instagram and the Eras Tour movie

Fan Reactions:

Swiftie Emily (@emermore7) documented these issues in a viral TikTok video, expressing disappointment in the book's execution. While praising certain elements like the behind-the-scenes section, she noted that the book seemed rushed and poorly edited.

Professional Response:

Industry professionals and fans suggest the release was expedited to capitalize on holiday sales, with many believing the book should have been delayed until after the Eras Tour's conclusion on December 8. Several editors have criticized the publication as appearing rushed, with one describing it as a "cash grab."

Fan Consensus:

  • The $40 price point doesn't match the quality delivered
  • Better quality control was expected from Swift's team
  • Many would have preferred a delayed release with higher quality
  • The book shows potential but needed more attention to detail
