December arrives like a grand finale, wrapping the year in a bow of shimmering lights and glittery stars to bring a fitting end to the wide ride of the calendar. But this time, the holiday glow has some serious competition with the impending conclusion of the Eras Tour. As the Great North readies itself for the superstar’s curtain call, Swifties are visibly caught in a whirlwind of emotions—equal parts relieved and restless. Amidst sky-high ticket prices and heartbreaking scams, Taylor Swift has pulled a plot twist worthy of a best-seller, the Eras Tour book.

As Swift channels her fandom’s energy from stadiums to shelves, if financial predictions hold true, Swifties are proving they are as much bookworms as concert-goers.

While fans played code-breakers over her next musical chapter, Taylor Swift turned the page literally with the Eras Tour book, serving as the literary ode to her globe-conquering spectacle. Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book is only available on Target and will hit the shelves on Black Friday, becoming available for sale on Target’s website on Saturday. The Wall Street Journal’s reports that two million books have been printed and the CBS News predicts the initial lap could generate nearly $80 million in sales.

Swift could become Target’s secret weapon, revving up its economic engine after the retailer’s recent sales and profit numbers missed the mark, prompting a downgrade of earnings expectations for the quarter. Analysts point to inflation-fatigued shoppers hunting for greater discounts than Target can offer, or simply opting out of non-essential purchases. But given the financial jolt Swifties delivered during the Eras Tour, the retailer’s hopes remain high.

Along with the book release, Target is exclusively releasing ‘The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology’ album as both a vinyl record and CD. It contains 35 tracks, including four acoustic versions of ‘Fortnight,’ ‘Down Bad,’ ‘But Daddy I Love Him,’ and ‘Guilty as Sin?.’ While Eras Tour has long etched its name in the pages of history, the book is now shaping up for another testimony to Swift’s Eras legacy.
