Taylor Swift: scandal over faulty book after record tour!

Taylor Swift's (34) "Eras" tour sets new standards and breaks records endlessly. With sales of over a billion dollars, it is the first tour to achieve this incredible amount. Not only does Swift become the first billionaire in music history, but her concert film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” released in September 2023, also achieved the highest grossing of a concert film of all time at over $260 million. But now her latest work, “The Eras Tour Book,” is causing a stir and controversial discussions.

The book, which was available exclusively at Target during Black Friday on November 29, 2023, sold sensationally in the first week: over 814,000 copies were sold, according to reports from Today.at and Independent has been canceled, making Swift the second best-selling book launch after Barack Obama's "A Promised Land" from 2020, which sold 816,000 copies. But despite its great success, the quality of the book remains questionable. Many readers report spelling errors and blurry images, which dampens enthusiasm.

Criticism of the production quality

There are numerous voices, especially on social media, that criticize the poor processing. A fan's TikTok video shows serious errors, such as missing spaces in song titles and blurry photos. Fan Emily, who got up at 5 a.m. to buy the book, commented, "When you pay $40 for a book, you expect it not to have that many errors." These flaws have led to the book being derided by some fans as the “Errors Tour Book.”

As Taylor Swift plays her final concerts in Vancouver, Canada next weekend, many fans are questioning how the mistakes happened. Swift and her team have not yet commented on the criticisms, increasing pressure on artists in the industry to ensure consistent quality even when it comes to merchandise that is in the spotlight.
