Taylor Swift describes how the bejeweled Eras tour costume got her out of “any trouble.”

My best bet is that she is still adorned with jewels.

On Friday, Taylor Swift released her 256-page hardcover book “Eras Tour” ($39.99), which includes 500 never-before-seen photos from the concerts as well as personal reflections.

In addition to behind-the-scenes information, the “Lavender Haze” singer also discussed her glittering wardrobe for the tour and how one of the stage outfits affected her.

In particular, her “Lover” era look was significant. “I’ve never had the opportunity to tour with the Lover album and this was a whole new era we were creating. Bright and romantic and celebratory,” she wrote in the book.

“One thing I knew from the beginning: We had to start with ‘Cruel Summer’ to get into the energy of that show,” Swift continued.

“Something about the combination of this song and the sparkly Versace bodysuit I get to wear can free me from all anxiety, ease headaches and heal sore muscles,” she explained. “I always loved the shows when the sunset happened at the same time as the Lover era, just pink skies in pink skies.”

In fact, to kick off her three-hour concert during the near-blockbuster tour, Swift wore several colorways of the bodysuit, including pink and blue, tasseled, blue and gold, all-pink and orange versions.

On the book cover, the superstar even poses in style covered in sequins and crystals.

“@taylorswift you are stunning in Versace. I’m so proud of you. Good luck on the Eras Tour🤍,” the luxury label’s designer, Donatella Versace, wrote on Instagram when the tour began in March 2023.

London-based, Delhi-born designer Ashish also redesigned one of the original outfits from Swift’s iconic 2013 music video “22.”

“I would go out with a black hat and an oversized sequin t-shirt, shorts and oxford shoes,” the artist explained. “Just like when I was actually 22.”

And each night, Swift picked a fan from the crowd to give the hat to, which she signed on the inside. “These hugs and moments of such great joy warmed my heart every night,” Swift writes in the book.

Additionally, the star wears at least nine different pairs of shoes throughout the show, all designed by Christian Louboutin, who also provided shoes for her backup dancers. In the volume, Louboutin explains the design process and the secret red rubber soles he added to make the heels more comfortable for dancing and more “slip-resistant” in any weather.

Although the book will be a huge success, it will not be a New York Times bestseller as it will be available exclusively at Target.

“A title sold exclusively by a single seller is not eligible for tracking,” the Times told Esquire.

If you didn’t make it to Target at the crack of dawn this morning, fear not: The Eras Tour Book will be available on the retailer’s website tomorrow.
