Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is coming to a slow close. The performer will visit just five more cities - all with multiple shows - before finishing her tour on December 8 in Vancouver, Canada. There has not been much mention of extending her runs of shows that began in 2023. She has taken some time off between gigs at times, but she likely just needs a rest.

One might wonder how Swift has the energy to complete all the projects she has been working on. She was in charge of the biggest-selling tour ever - the tour reportedly grossed nearly $2 billion - and she made an album. She also managed to show up at a lot of Kansas City Chiefs games to watch her boyfriend, Tavis Kelce, play.

But before she begins the last leg of her tour on October 18 in Miami, Swift announced a couple of items that will be released just in time for Christmas shopping. The first is a book about her current tour and the book will be called The Official Eras Tour Book. She said on her Instagram page that the book will be "filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night."

But she did not stop there. Besides the book, Swift is also giving fans (well, not giving as much as something you can purchase) an album titled The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. The record will be available on vinyl and CD, but only at Target stores. One might wonder how much Target had to pay Swift to have an exclusive for the album.

The album will be available beginning November 29, which is, as you might have guessed, on Black Friday. The move could be a bit of genius marketing by Target, but it is certainly going to increase Swift's bottom line. Not that she needs that. She already has a net worth of more than $1 billion.

That is still not enough to buy the Kansas City Chiefs should they ever be put up for sale, but Taylor Swift likely would be happy to be a major investor. Maybe she and Kelce will be part-owners of the team one day. Stranger things have happened.
