Taylor Swift celebrated Thanksgiving in her own unique way this year—by offering fans an intimate glimpse into her record-breaking Eras Tour. Ahead of the tour’s conclusion on December 8, the singer released a new book that reveals behind-the-scenes details about the creative process behind the iconic concert.
One standout revelation? Swift explains why “Enchanted” was the lone track chosen from her Speak Now era. “Even though it was never chosen as a single, the fans made sure it became one of the most recognizable songs from that album,” she writes. Her vision for the performance included a “dreamscape of purple twinkling lights, ballet, and ball gowns,” meant to evoke the enchanting allure of a midsummer romance.
Swift also highlighted her favorite moment of the tour—performing Midnights hit “Vigilante S–t,” a track that brings palpable energy to the stage. Another heartwarming ritual involves gifting her signature “22” hat to a young fan each night. Signed inside, the hat exchange is a tradition that “warmed [her] heart every night.”
Despite her busy schedule, gratitude remains at the center of Swift’s year. This Thanksgiving, however, she and boyfriend Travis Kelce spent the holiday apart. While Swift prepared for her final shows, Kelce focused on the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Swift’s book offers a perfect Thanksgiving gift for fans eager to relive the magic of the Eras Tour—and to gain a deeper understanding of the artistry behind it. With the tour’s end in sight, Swift continues to captivate, inspire, and, of course, give thanks.
