Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” may have come to an end in North America, but fans can still relive their favorite moments through a new book titled “I Love Taylor Swift.” Written by journalist Princess Gabbara, this unofficial fan journal takes readers on a journey through Swift’s career highlights, including her songs, achievements, relationships, and fashion choices.
The book features guided journal prompts, trivia questions, memorable lyrics, and even scrapbook pages where fans can paste concert tickets or photos from their favorite Swift events. Divided into seven chapters, each named after a popular Swift song, the journal allows fans to jot down their favorite memories, reflect on her music videos, and imagine what it would be like to hang out with Swift herself.
While “I Love Taylor Swift” is primarily designed to be a personal keepsake for fans, Gabbara aims to pay tribute to Swift’s incredible legacy. She emphasizes Swift’s ability to stay relevant and continuously improve creatively with each project and tour. Gabbara believes that Swift’s kindness and gratitude towards her fans are significant factors contributing to her enduring success and popularity in the music industry.
Gabbara hopes that Swift’s vulnerability in her lyrics will inspire fans to open up and express themselves while writing in the journal. She praises Swift’s candid storytelling and the honesty and vulnerability she consistently displays in her music. According to Gabbara, this level of openness is comforting for both casual fans and die-hard Swifties, who feel seen and validated whenever they listen to her music.
What sets “I Love Taylor Swift” apart as a must-have for Swifties is its comprehensive coverage of Swift’s nearly two-decade-long career. The prompts touch on every unique era, allowing readers to showcase their knowledge, tap into their creativity, and deepen their connection to Taylor and her craft. Fans can gush over Swift’s red carpet style, music videos, famous friends, memorable clapbacks, and even her cats, as being part of a fandom encompasses celebrating all aspects of an artist’s life.
Published by Adams Media, a division of Simon & Schuster, the 208-page book is available on Amazon for $15.99. Following the success of an unofficial BTS journal released in May, “I Love Taylor Swift” is sure to be a hit among fans. It joins a range of Swiftie-inspired merchandise, including a makeup set by LA-based beauty brand Petite ‘n Pretty called the “Eras Tour Makeup Set.” The set includes everything from makeup and skincare products to hair products and a bead kit for making friendship bracelets.
As for Taylor Swift herself, she will be heading to Mexico for a series of shows this month before returning to the U.S. and Canada in 2024 for a new slate of performances. Despite the end of her “Eras Tour,” Swift continues to captivate audiences with her music, and fans eagerly await her next creative endeavors. “I Love Taylor Swift” is a way for fans to celebrate and commemorate her incredible journey thus far and keep the fandom spirit alive.
