I didn't queue for the Target Taylor Swift exclusive book and CD — because there's another way to get them right now

Yesterday's Black Friday Target Taylor Swift drop was all in-store only. There was a new 500-page book about The Eras Tour, alongside the first physical editions of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.

I loved the Eras tour, and the extended version of the new album, but I didn't go to the store on the busiest shopping day of the year. Instead, I waited for the Target Taylor Swift sale to come to me.

As soon as the clocks struck midnight and Black Friday ended, Target opened up the exclusive new merchandise to online shoppers. So, right now, you can can order The Tortured Poet's Department: The Anthology at Target.

Or if you want to reminisce about the most successful tour in history, pick up the The Official Taylor Swift The Eras Tour Book for $39 from Target at the same time.

It's been a staple of the Eras tour setlist since it was released earlier in the year, and now the expanded edition is available to buy on vinyl and CD. It was an in-store exclusive for Black Friday, but is available to buy online from today.

If you loved the tour (in person, on Disney+ or at the theater), the book dives into the making of the most successful tour of all time. It's a great gift (for yourself or the Swiftie in your life) and should tide you over until the (inevitable) tour documentary,

Whether you got tickets to a stop on the Eras tour or watched The Eras Tour movie online, the book is a look back at one of the most successful tours of all time, including over 500 images across the 256-page hardback.

I was lucky enough to go to a date in London in the summer, and was absolutely floored by how impressive the visuals were, from the videos playing behind her as she performed through to the many, many costumes.

The book (rightly) recognizes how influential and detailed this tour was, and makes a great way to dive into (even more) Swiftie lore. And as the show I went to was in the summer, it included the new TTPD setlist.

Which was handy, as I'd been streaming The Anthology edition relentlessly since it came out. At this point, it's hard to image the album without tracks like So High School and thank you aiMee.

Given how much I've already (virtually) spun the album, I really need to grab the vinyl and get it rotating on my record player...
