Taylor Swift excitedly revealed a sneak peek of the highly anticipated Target-exclusive Black Friday edition of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology available on both vinyl and CD. In a captivating Instagram post, she showcased what seems to be the back cover of the vinyl, sparking excitement among her fans. This announcement coincides with the launch of her official The Eras Tour Book, set to hit Target stores on the same day as the vinyl and CD release. Swift made this post during the first of two electrifying weekends of The Eras Tour in Toronto, capturing the attention of her audience.
“Just 13 days until The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD AND The Official Eras Tour Book are all available for the first time ever at @target!” Swift excitedly wrote in her post on Saturday, November 16. This announcement has generated tremendous buzz as her fans eagerly await the chance to own these exclusive items. The countdown to the release date builds anticipation, making it clear that both the album and the book are must-have collectibles for Swifties everywhere.
“International info coming soon,” the pop star teased, adding a heart hands emoji, which only deepened the intrigue surrounding her upcoming releases. Fans are keenly awaiting details about international availability, highlighting Swift’s global fanbase and the demand for her music and merchandise beyond local borders. This additional note hints at her commitment to making her work accessible to fans around the world, further enhancing the excitement surrounding the announcement.
Swift recognized and tagged photographer Beth Garrabant in her post, giving credit for the stunning visuals used in the Tortured Poets shoot. Recognizing the creative talents behind her projects showcases Swift’s appreciation for collaboration and artistry, which resonates with her audience. This acknowledgment also serves to spotlight the importance of visual storytelling in her music promotion, reinforcing the connection between her music and the artistic elements that accompany it.
The album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology has previously only been available as a digital release, making this physical release particularly exciting for collectors and fans alike. This transition from digital to physical format opens up new opportunities for fans to experience the album in a more traditional way, allowing them to hold a tangible piece of Swift’s artistry. The upcoming release therefore marks a significant moment for both the artist and her audience, emphasizing the value of music in a physical format.
The 35-track album will be released on vinyl for $59.99 and CD for $17.99 for the very first time, featuring four exclusive bonus acoustic songs. These bonus tracks enhance the album’s overall offering, providing fans with unique renditions of their favorite songs. Scheduled to be available in Target stores on November 29 and on Target.com the following day, November 30, this release is poised to be a highlight of the Black Friday shopping experience for music lovers and Swift’s fans alike.
Swift’s Instagram post on Saturday showcased the complete track list of the Target-exclusive album, which includes the acoustic versions of the songs: “Fortnight (Acoustic Version) (feat. Post Malone),” “Down Bad (Acoustic Version),” “But Daddy I Love Him (Acoustic Version),” and “Guilty as Sin? (Acoustic Version).” Featuring these acoustic tracks adds a new layer to the already compelling narrative of the standard 16-track The Tortured Poets Department album, highlighting Swift’s versatility as an artist and her ability to reinterpret her music in different styles.
The eagerly awaited The Official Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book priced at $39.99 will also be available in Target stores on November 29, with online orders opening on Target’s website on November 30. This visually stunning 256-page hardcover book contains personal reflections penned by Swift, alongside over 500 captivating images that include never-before-seen performance photos, rehearsal snapshots, and behind-the-scenes glimpses from the tour.
