Gifts for Taylor Swift fans: The ultimate guide

Swiftmas is just around the corner, and there are plenty of gifts to get the Taylor Swift fan in your life, from stocking stuffers, merchandise and books to Etsy swag and more. To help you shop for your favorite Swiftie, we've compiled this guide to help you navigate the bedazzled sales.

Most of the prices are before shipping, handling and taxes. These are only suggestions; be sure to check the reviews, ratings and comments before committing to a purchase.

Let’s state the obvious

Any Swift fan is going to want to get their hands on the new “Eras Tour Book” ($39.99) that the singer is releasing on Black Friday at Target. The 256 pages include personal notes from the singer, production photos of the expansive tour and an overview of the two-year evolution of the billion-dollar adventure. The store will have physical copies on Nov. 29 and offer online orders on Nov. 30.

If the Swiftie in your life has a record player and is a vinyl collector, “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology” will also be available at Target ($59.99) along with a CD version ($17.99). Both physical copies will include 35 tracks, which is 31 songs from the double album and four bonus acoustic songs that have not been announced.

Other books that are burning like a fever dream on store shelves include:

• “Heartbreak is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music” by Rolling Stone reporter Rob Sheffield ($27.99). The journalist has covered the Eras Tour superstar since the beginning of her 18-year career, and he has encyclopedic knowledge of her personality, stardom, business savvy and record-breaking albums. Read a review here.
• “Taylor Swift Style” by Sarah Chapelle ($20.50). The influencer started a fashion blog in 2011, Taylor Swift Styled, and has since written a book encompassing the singer's first 10 eras. The pages gilded in shimmery gold highlight more than a decade of red carpet looks and night on the town street wear.
• “Invisible Strings: 113 Poets Respond to the Songs of Taylor Swift” edited by Kristie Frederick Daugherty ($26). The book features a number of Pullitzer Prize winners and finalists, National Book Award winners and best-selling poets.
• “This Swift Beat” by USA TODAY ($33.70). Several journalists, myself included, followed the heart-pounding excitement of Taylor Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour as it traversed five continents. The collector's book chronicles the unprecedented three-plus-hour show and captures Swift-mania.

You’ve got that Swift T-shirt

This month, Swift released her holiday line with tees of every era, including "Tortured Poets," ranging from $40-$45, sweatshirts from $65-$70 and a black faux leather purse for $75. There is also still Eras Tour merchandise available on the singer’s website.

For fans looking for a cheaper price range, there are custom shirts on Etsy going for less than $15 including “Who’s afraid of little old me,” “A lot going on at the moment,” “Nothing good starts in a getaway car” and “Karma is a cat.”

KC small businesses: the greatest in the league

In Kansas City, many small businesses are jumping on the Swift and football bandwagon.

Here are some of the shops that sell football, Travis Kelce or Chiefs swag catered to the Swift fandom:

• Pink Dinosaur: The shop started by Elle Steadman offers shimmery boots, custom tees ($30), Taylor + Travis trucker hats ($32-$44), inside joke sweatshirts ($45), friendship bracelet sunglasses ($24) and more.
• Westside Storey: Swift has worn vintage apparel from the Kansas City staple shop multiple times. She famously ordered a box of five K.C. sweatshirts in 2023.

• EB & Co.: For any and all football related jewelry, check out this boutique in the two-state city. The business sold the No. 87 ring ($16) Swift wore to the 2024 AFC championship, and the shop sold out of stock immediately. The store sells football or Swift-related headbands ($28), #13 hoop earrings ($22) and necklaces ($34).
