The Swifties Aren't Happy With the 'Errors' Tour Book

Taylor Swift’s last cash grab for the Eras Tour was a self-published coffee table book full of photos and reflections from the tour, exclusively sold at Target. But some Swifties say it’s more like “something a fan made on Shutterfly,” and they’re finding their tomes to be full of typos and grammatical errors, thus dubbing it “The Errors Tour Book.”

Some of it’s understandable, like how the song, “this is me trying” is written as, “this is me rying” or the several photos spread across two pages so that Swift is at the very center of the seam. You can see some of those in this flip-through video.

One fan tweeted a photo of her copy, which appears to be missing several pages.

But a lot of the criticism makes me laugh. These poor kids thought Taylor was penning the next great American novel, apparently. This one gal on TikTok is convinced no one edited the thing.

@emermore7 I know I’m not the only one disappointed with the Eras Tour book, but I haven’t seen anyone else talk about the glaringly obvious grammatical errors and clunky sentences within the pages. I make this video with peace, love, and a general frustration about how easy many of these problems could have been fixed with one more set of editing eyes. This book just had so much potential, and with a little tweaking it could have been absolutely spectacular. #erastourbook #errorstour #booktok Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift

I mean, this girl is harsher than I ever was in any of my college writing workshops. Unnecessary commas?! Using the same word in two sentences?! She sounds like Dustin editing me, except I never use enough commas for his taste. She’s gonna hate this article.

I guess when you wait in line to buy a $40 yearbook, you expect it to be museum-quality. But, like, come on. They seem to be taking it personally. (Okay, now I’m self-conscious about my commas. Did this paragraph have a lot of commas?)

“Is this the worst book ever written? No,” Emily from TikTok says. “Written” is a bit of a stretch; we’re talking about photo captions here. “But,” she adds, “I guess I expect more love and care to be taken into account.”

No sudden moves, people. The Swifties are becoming disillusioned.
