After 21 months of historic performances, Taylor Swift has ensured her fans have a lasting keepsake of this unforgettable journey-The Eras Tour Book. Among the lucky recipients of the book is Vanessa Bryant, a devoted Swiftie who shared her excitement on Instagram.
Bryant, the mother of four and longtime friend of Swift, posted a glimpse of The Eras Tour Book on her Instagram story.
Accompanied by a heartfelt "Thank you" gif, the book came with a personalized note from Swift.
"As we conclude the wildest, most extraordinary adventure of my life, The Eras Tour, I wanted to share with a few friends my memories from it," Swift wrote.
She highlighted treasured moments like friendship bracelets, rain-soaked performances, intricate costumes, and backstage secrets.
"I hope you will enjoy this journey through my proudest moments," she concluded.
The Bryant family, frequent attendees of Swift's shows, holds their own cherished memories of the tour.
Last year, during a Los Angeles performance at SoFi Stadium, Swift had a heartwarming interaction with Bianka Bryant, Kobe Bryant's youngest daughter. After performing "22," Swift gifted Bianka her iconic "22" hat in a touching moment that thrilled the crowd.
Swift's connection with the Bryants runs deep. Natalia Bryant, Kobe's eldest daughter, received a cream cardigan in 2020 as a nod to Swift's Folklore album. The family also met Swift backstage during her Reputation tour in 2018, cementing a friendship that fans continue to celebrate.
A record-Breaking book
Like the Eras Tour itself, The Eras Tour Book has shattered records. According to Circana, the book sold an astounding 814,000 copies during its first weekend, making it the second-best debut for a non-fiction book in U.S. history.
The only book to sur this was Barack Obama's A Promised Land, which sold 816,000 copies in its first week in 2020.
Remarkably, Swift's book achieved this feat despite being exclusively available at Target in the U.S.
