Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was nothing short of a global phenomenon, drawing millions of fans and setting new records.

To commemorate the end of the tour, Swift released the Eras Tour Book, a special collection of photos and stories meant to give fans a behind-the-scenes look.

But what should have been the perfect ending to an incredible era has left some fans disappointed.

The book, priced at £34 (approximately), quickly became a must-have item. Swifties flocked to stores, with many queuing for hours to secure a copy.

Over 800,000 books were sold within days, a testament to Swift’s devoted fan base. But excitement turned to frustration for some when they discovered errors and issues in the product.

This is me rying

Fans took to social media to share their concerns. Typographical errors, including a missing "t" in the song title this is me trying — leaving it as "this is me rying" — and the incorrect formatting of gold rush as one word, stood out.

Beyond the text, many noted that some of the photos were blurry, falling short of the quality expected for such a premium-priced book.

A viral TikTok video, viewed over a million times, showcased these issues, with one fan questioning whether the book had been properly reviewed before being sent to print.

The clip sparked widespread discussion, with other fans chiming in about their own disappointments.

The backlash contrasts with the otherwise flawless execution of Swift’s Eras Tour. From elaborate stage designs to meticulously planned setlists, everything about the tour screamed perfection.

For fans, the book was meant to extend that experience, offering a tangible piece of the magic.

While the book’s flaws haven’t overshadowed the monumental success of the tour itself, they have left some fans feeling shortchanged. As one disappointed buyer noted, "For nearly £34, this should have been perfect."
