For someone whose primary profession is singing, Taylor Swift sure does love beating people of various statures. At least metaphorically. With each passing day, the artist voluntarily or involuntarily snatches the crown long held by another. This was true in the case of Beyoncé and her most awarded artist at the VMAs title, and it now seems that Coldplay has also met a similar fate at the legs of the globe-trotting singer.

Already a much-praised hit, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, has toured the world to reach its last leg. But it is not ending without a special announcement and naturally sending a ripple through the music industry.

The Eras Tour has listed many achievements under its name, much like Taylor Swift herself since its onslaught. While refurbishing various economies may have held the top spot until now, it has now become the most-attended tour of all time, a record previously held by Coldplay's Music of the Spheres Tour. Swift was able to reach this feat, right after announcing her book, titled Official Eras Tour Book, on Instagram, containing never seen before pictures from the Eras Tour.

While it is unclear whether Coldplay will be browsing through this book wondering where it all went wrong, fans will have the chance to relish in its glory following November 29, when it will be published. Although a first for Swift, the book is not the first by-product of the ultra-success Eras Tour.

With six months having passed by and Taylor Swift still announcing variant releases of 'The Tortured Poets Department' which was officially dropped on April 19, it also officially marks six months of Swifties refuting the claims that she is doing so to remain on top of the charts while constantly churning out more profits. Whether these claims about the singer are true or not, the fact that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie and the Official Eras Tour Book are million-dollar worth cherries on a billion-dollar tour is undeniable.

The Eras Tour movie was released officially in the United States on October 13 and raked up a massive $267.1 Million at the box office and likely award-season acclaim, a feat that even acclaimed actors are struggling to achieve. The movie, much like the book that is yet to be released, consisted of both seen and unseen moments from the Los Angeles legs of the Eras Tour. And even if this is the only common point between the book and the movie, being Taylor Swift's itself guarantees a million-dollar cash-in.
