Taylor Swift fans who attended her “Eras Tour” may have missed out on some Easter eggs that she included in her performances. A tour book released on Black Friday revealed previously unknown details about the record-breaking concert run that included five continents over 21 months. The 256-page hardcover book, available at Target stores for $39.99, provided insight into the behind-the-scenes happenings of Swift’s tour. It also gave fans a peek into the intricate planning and execution of each show, including details about the elaborate stage setups and costume changes.
The book, which had an initial print run of 2 million copies, is part of Swift’s efforts to monetize her music beyond concerts and recordings. Fans have had to navigate long lines at merchandise stands and plan their purchases strategically to get their hands on exclusive tour memorabilia. Swift’s tour ends next weekend with three shows in Vancouver, wrapping up an era that included songs from various albums in her discography.
Some of the revelations in the book include the intricacies of Swift’s stage performances, like the operation of a platform she spins on during one song and the choreography involved in another. Fans also learned about the comfortable setup inside a janitor’s cart that Swift uses to move backstage between scenes. Swift expressed gratitude to her fans and hinted at more to come in the future, signing off with a promise of seeing them in the next era.
