Taylor Swift set a new record and still decided to put aside her career, the reason why fans were shocked

Taylor Swift has just set a new record when "Eras Tour Book" became the book with the highest first-week sales of 2024. She also just made a decision that surprised fans.

This year's release record is not a blockbuster novel or a celebrity memoir. That achievement belongs to a souvenir publication associated with the series of concerts that have taken the past two years by storm, Eras Tour Book by Taylor Swift.

Eras Tour Book, released on November 29, sold 814,000 copies over the Thanksgiving weekend and became the highest-selling book in the first week of 2024, according to data from Circana Bookscan. This impressive number is even more striking when you consider Taylor Swift's special distribution strategy: she only releases books through the Target retail chain, ignoring bookstores and Amazon.

Accordingly, the book is on sale at Target stores on Black Friday and can be purchased online on Target's website on November 30. In addition, instead of partnering with a major publisher, the singer published the book herself through Taylor Swift Publications - a company founded by herself. The hardcover, 256-page book, featuring more than 500 photos and reflections by the "country music princess," is priced at $39.99.

However, many Taylor Swift fans, after hurriedly buying the book, expressed their disappointment on social networks and criticized this publication for not being well-groomed. Readers have pointed out grammatical and spelling errors, blurry images, as well as visual presentation errors.

One fan who had been queuing up at Target since 5 a.m. to get her hands on the book, later shared on TikTok that she was "overwhelmed" by the number of grammatical errors in it. Others even call the book "The Errors Tour Book." However, production and editorial problems do not seem to affect sales during the holidays.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the number of first prints of the Eras Tour Book reached 2 million copies. Taylor Swift barely commented on the publication, except for an Instagram post in which she promised the book would capture "all the magical memories you brought every night." The post has received more than 3.6 million likes.

In another development, according to a source from Us Weekly, Taylor Swift is ready to rest after the end of the Eras Tour tour that has lasted nearly 2 years. With more than 150 performances, the singer has done her best for her fans and everything will end on December 8.

"Taylor was exhausted. She is looking forward to relaxing and resting," the source shared. According to the same person, the Fortnight singer is reportedly planning to spend most of her vacation time in Kansas with her boyfriend Travis Kelce - whom she started dating last summer.

"Taylor plans to take a break and rest with Travis for a while," the source continued, "They want to do normal things as a couple. The two want to spend quality time together because that's when their personalities and habits are revealed. They will know a lot more about each other."

Although, taking a break for a while, the pop star has also come up with ideas for the next album as well as a new tour. The important thing is that things can still change, depending on how the love affair with the rugby star plays out in the coming year.

The source added that the couple wanted to get engaged to each other but was not in a hurry for this. The information given has attracted the attention of a large number of music fans. Many people expressed surprise at Taylor Swift's decision, even saying that she was worried about forgetting her career.

But besides, there are also opinions expressing support for the plans of the "country music princess". Because after all, the female singer has devoted herself for the past 2 years, now is the time for her to rest and enjoy the joy with her loved ones.
