It’s finally Taylor Swift Day, er, Tortured Poets Department release day. And while Swifties have been scouring the web for context clues the past few weeks, we’ve been prepping a list of all you need to celebrate… and naturally we’re turning to Target for the goods.

(And whether you’re a diehard Swiftie or your kids are, there’s something here for everyone, k?)

Here’s a list of 10 Things you need to celebrate the Tortured Poets Department drop by Taylor Swift:

1 and 2. The Exclusive vinyl set from Target

Why? The bonuses are unreal from two (hence why this takes the top 2 spots in our list!) clear vinyls, to a bonus track called “The Manuscript,” to a collectible 24-page book-bound jacket, to three handwritten lyrics, you just need it. No worries if you don’t have a record player - this is a collectible for sure.

3. The Exclusive CD with bonus track

Why? It includes a collectible 20-page booklet with all song lyrics and never-before-seen photos, 10”x10” Double-Sided Poster (collect all 4 if you’re up for it), a full size photograph of Taylor, and bonus track “The Bolter.”

4. 96 Facts about Taylor Swift paperback

Why? It’s a cute, quickly-skimmable book packed with Taylor trivia to dazzle even the deepest fans. I grabbed this for my tween!



5-8. All her past work

Why? Maybe Tortured Poets Department is your first foreway into Taylor-land, but it’s standing on the shoulders of some pretty incredible past work. Here are a few to stock up on:

9. NYX Shine Loud Vegan High Shine Long-lasting Liquid Lipstick

Why? Because loving him was red is not only one of our favorite lyrics from the song of the same name, but it’s also Taylor’s classic lip color. And this Rebel In Red option by NYX is perfect in matte with the optional clear gloss to shine it up.

10. Go Taylor’s Boyfriend tee

Why? Because football season is only four months away, and he’s the world’s boyfriend now.


We know we probably missed something, Swifties. So, what else would you have on the Tortured Poets Department celebration list? Weigh in.
