Taylor Swift is receiving backlash after selling more than 814,000 copies of her Eras Tour Book over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend Others, however, defended the pop star and praised her for 'really stimulating the economy everywhere she goes.' The criticism comes one week after the 14-time Grammy winner, 34, released the book exclusively through Target for $39.99 Read More Taylor's ERRORS Tour book! Singer accused of a 'cash grab' after fans spot mistakes in $40 release The self-published book, which documents the blockbuster two-year tour which finishes this month, exclusively went on sale in Target in the US on Friday and will be available to purchase on the singer's UK merch store on December 7. In the US, the book is being sold for $40, with many Taylor Swift fans queuing for hours to get their hands on a copy. Almost immediately after purchasing the book, some Swifties began to post about the amount of spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, blurry pictures and upside down pages in it. Some Swifties even took to TikTok to complain about the slew of errors, which have left many questioning if it was edited at all before it was published. One Taylor fan pointed out that in the concert date index page there is a missing tour date for Toronto, while another's book was printed upside down. Meanwhile someone else noticed that some of Taylor's concert outfits were sketched in the wrong color, while others were never seen before.

In the clip, which racked up over 700,000 views, Emma revealed she was 'disappointed' with the book. She captioned the post: 'I know I’m not the only one disappointed with the Eras Tour book, but I haven’t seen anyone else talk about the glaringly obvious grammatical errors and clunky sentences within the pages. 'I make this video with peace, love, and a general frustration about how easy many of these problems could have been fixed with one more set of editing eyes. 'This book just had so much potential, and with a little tweaking it could have been absolutely spectacular.' Pointing out the errors, Emma said: 'When I got home and starting flicking through the book I was actually blown away by the amount of grammatical mistakes, so many in fact that I am seriously questioning if this book was even edited. 'If there are certain spelling mistakes that are really distracting it really takes me out of the reading experience and I really really felt that with this book. 'Proof that with enough hype and a solid marketing team, even the most disastrous efforts can hit the bestseller list. Talent may be optional, but controversy and salesmanship? Absolutely essential,' a fourth added Other defended the pop star and praised her for 'really stimulating the economy everywhere she goes' 'If you are paying $40 for a book wouldn't you expect it to not have this many errors? Wouldn't you expect the pictures to not be cut off? Wouldn't you expect the pictures to be crisp and clean and not blurry? 'I don't know what happened, I don't know if they were on a deadline or what. The grammatical problems that I have found should have been fixed right away.' Many people rushed to the comments in disbelief at the inconsistencies - with some claiming it was strange because Taylor is known for her incredible writing skills. One person wrote: 'I don’t understand how this could happen, her entire public persona is crafted around being a thoughtful and meticulous writer.' Another said: 'Did Taylor even get a chance to look at this book herself?!? I feel like that’s clearly a NO... otherwise it would’ve been a lot better and not as many mistakes! She always writes so meticulous and well... it doesn’t seem like her style of speech!' Meanwhile George Mansour revealed some of the writing on his Eras Tour book was 'cut off' Some Swifties even took to TikTok to complain about the slew of errors, which have left many questioning if it was edited at all before it was published; as seen in a video above, one fan pointed a missing 'T' in the word 'trying' Meanwhile someone else noticed some of the concert outfits were sketched in the wrong color, while others were never seen before Someone else said: 'As an editor my skin is crawling at all the issues. 100% cash grab.' A fourth said: 'Y'all didn’t notice that the photos in the book are screenshots from the eras tour film? It’s crazy that she didn’t even take separate pictures for the book.' Another suggested: 'I think there was a deadline... I honestly feel like they could have waited and done it properly after the eras tour ended... it’s kinda crazy to release this before the eras tour ended. Felt rushed.' Meanwhile George Mansour revealed on his TikTok @thegmansour that some of the writing on his Eras Tour book was 'cut off'. He added: 'I can't tell if this is a stylistic choice or an error.' Elsewhere he pointed out some spelling mistakes and an extra comma after Poland in the tour date index. Many people rushed to the comments in disbelief with some claiming it was strange because Taylor is known for her incredible writing skills He captioned the post: 'I’m going to need everyone to open up their Official Taylor Swift The Eras Tour Book and let me know if it looks like mine. 'The lettering on some pages looks like it was cut off. Also, a few spelling and grammatical errors. What errors did you find? Does your book look like this?' Even though the book doesn't go on sale in the UK for another few days, it has already sprung up on resell sites including Vinted and eBay for hundreds of pounds. One seller is flogging a single book for £180 - six times the asking price - using eBay's Buy It Now feature, advertising it only with a single stock image. Another is flogging 10 for a whopping £509.62 - or best offer - with an extra £32 for postage from the United States. The book is not yet available in the UK - so sellers will either have needed to visit the US themselves or could be selling fraudulent copies. On eBay, some books are being posted from the United States for an extra £30 - the entire cost to purchase the book through official means. Announcing the 256-page book back in October, the Love Story singer, 34, promised it would be 'filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night'. It features over 500 images, including performance photos from every era as well as exclusive rehearsal photos and behind-the-scenes images of instruments, costumes, set pieces and designer sketches used throughout the tour. Taylor's book is available exclusively at Target and flew off the shelves on Black Friday It has been published by none other than 'Taylor Swift publications' - meaning the star created a company specifically for venturing into the industry. Sellers are calling their offers 'exclusive' as the book is 'not yet sold in the UK' saying 'limited copies' are available and calling it the 'ideal Christmas present'. Some have only used a stock image of the book and have limited reviews. Despite the high prices and risk of them being counterfeit, hundreds have expressed interest in the items, 'watching' them on eBay, or adding them to favourites on Vinted. One states it's been imported in from the US and has six bids, selling for £67 at time of reporting. Meanwhile a book with a very similar cover calling itself '100% unofficial' has popped up on sites, bearing a strong resemblance to the official version. In the new book, Taylor revealed how she came up with the concept of her record-breaking tour. In the introduction to the tome, the Bejeweled singer wrote that she was working on Midnights when the idea came to her. However, no matter how many books are sold at Targets across the country, it won't be eligible for the best seller's list (seen in Toronto on November 14, 2024) 'I'll never forget the call when I explained the concept for the Eras Tour to my team,' she began, adding that normally she would have embarked on a tour in support of Midnights. 'We're going to call it the Eras Tour and each album will have its own chapter, its own world,' the Karma hitmaker wrote. Taylor revealed that she had 'fallen back in love' with her vast catalog of music while recording the Taylor's Versions of them. This was what inspired her to create the Eras Tour, where she planned from the inception to 'fully commit to each era, musically, stylistically and aesthetically' with the 'longest, most ambitious show' of 'time capsules.' The tour was designed to 'celebrate both new fans and fans who have been there since day one.' But, she wondered 'HOW on earth' she would play 45 songs live – which averages out to three hours and 15 minutes of singing and constant motion each night. Upon its release in the US last Friday, Swifties queued through the night and even skipped Thanksgiving dinner to be among the first to get their hands on the book The Bad Blood songstress wrote that she gave 'absolutely everything' to her audience, and promised herself to 'be physically and mentally tougher than ever before' and 'more disciplined and committed to [her] health, fitness and stamina.' She gushed, 'Thankfully, I'm surrounded by my incredible crew, band, singers and dancers who all matched my dedication to the massive scale and challenges of this show.' The Eras Tour debuted in Glendale, Arizona on March 17, 2023. After 149 dates in five continents, the tour will wrap in Vancouver, Canada on December 8. Taylor's book is available exclusively at Target and flew off the shelves on Black Friday. However, no matter how many books are sold at Targets across the country, it won't be eligible for the best seller's list. 'A title sold exclusively by a single vendor does not qualify for tracking,' the Times confirmed to Esquire.

The former premier’s home at 14 Gardner Lane, Kensington has sold ahead of auction. Former Victorian premier Denis Napthine has sold his Kensington home of more than 20 years in a pre-auction sale worth $1.285m. Mr Napthine and wife Peggy bought the 14 Gardner Lane property in 2002 and lived there during his time as Victoria’s last Liberal premier before the Labor Party commenced it’s decade-long run in charge of the state’s parliament in 2014. RELATED: Inside former premier Denis Napthine’s long-time Kensington property Portelli slammed: Block is dud investment Melbourne has most homes for sale in the nation He had intended to put the five-bedroom property under the hammer with a $1.175m-$1.275m price guide on December 7, but Nelson Alexander listing agent Ryan Currie said a local man made a strong offer on December 1 and sparked a brief battle with another family from the area. Mr Napthine’s property fronts the suburb’s historic stock route, providing a pedestrian-only boulevard in front of the home, with vehicle access to a double garage with a studio via Gardner Lane. Denis and Peggy Napthin attend the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley. Picture: Jason Edwards It was these features and the home’s gardens that Mr Currie said had sparked the buyers’ interest, and with end of the year near a rising fear of missing out had propelled competition ahead of the scheduled auction. The agent added that he had started the week with four auctions scheduled for December 7, and by Tuesday had sold all of the homes ahead of time as buyers made early offers. “It’s all been buyers wanting to put their best foot forward and feeling a little bit of FOMO (fear of missing out),” Mr Currie said. The home was sold prior to auction after a local made a strong offer on December 1. “That’s starting to kick in at the moment.” It is believed Mr Napthine plans to downsize and will look for a new home in the new year. Mr Currie added that there was also a bit of buyer fatigue, with some of the parties he had been dealing with on sales having been looking for homes in rarely-listed areas like Mr Napthine’s for more than a year. Mr Currie said those buyers were acutely aware that within three weeks the market would effectively shut down for more than a month, prompting them to be more aggressive.

Bitcoin catapulted above $100,000 for the first time on Thursday, a milestone hailed even by skeptics as a coming-of-age for digital assets as investors bet on a friendly U.S. administration to cement the place of cryptocurrencies in financial markets. Once it broke $100,000 in Thursday’s Asian morning, boosted by U.S. President-elect Trump’s nomination of pro-crypto Paul Atkins to run the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was soon at an all-time high of $103,619. It last fetched $101,139, up about 3.2% on the day. The total value of the cryptocurrency market has almost doubled over the year so far to hit a record over $3.8 trillion, according to data provider CoinGecko. By comparison, Apple alone is worth about $3.7 trillion. Bitcoin’s march from the libertarian fringe to Wall Street has minted millionaires, a new asset class and popularised the concept of “decentralised finance” in a volatile and often controversial period since its creation 16 years ago. Bitcoin has more than doubled in value this year and is up more than 50% in the four weeks since Donald Trump’s sweeping election victory, which also saw a slew of pro-crypto lawmakers being elected to Congress. “CONGRATULATIONS BITCOINERS!!! $100,000!!! YOU’RE WELCOME!!! Together, we will Make America Great Again!” Trump said on Truth Social, his social media network, on Thursday. “We’re witnessing a paradigm shift,” said Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of U.S. crypto firm Galaxy Digital. “Bitcoin and the entire digital asset ecosystem are on the brink of entering the financial mainstream – this momentum is fuelled by institutional adoption, advancements in tokenisation and payments, and a clearer regulatory path.” Trump — who once labeled crypto a scam — embraced digital assets during his campaign, promising to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet” and to accumulate a national stockpile of bitcoin. “We were trading basically sideways for about seven months, then immediately after Nov. 5, U.S. investors resumed buying hand-over-fist,” said Joe McCann, CEO and founder of Asymmetric, a Miami digital assets hedge fund. Bitcoin’s proponents cheered Trump’s nomination of Atkins to the SEC. A former SEC commissioner, Atkins has been involved in crypto policy as co-chair of the Token Alliance, which works to “develop best practices for digital asset issuances and trading platforms,” and the Chamber of Digital Commerce. “Atkins will offer a new perspective, anchored by a deep understanding of the digital asset ecosystem,” said Blockchain Association CEO Kristin Smith. “We look forward to working with him ... and ushering in — together — a new wave of American crypto innovation.” A slew of crypto companies including Ripple, Kraken and Circle are also jostling for a seat on Trump’s promised crypto advisory council. PART OF THE LANDSCAPE Bitcoin has proven a survivor through precipitous downturns. Its move into six-figure territory is a remarkable comeback from a dip below $16,000 in 2022 when the industry was reeling from the collapse of the FTX exchange. Founder Sam Bankman-Fried was subsequently jailed. Analysts say the growing embrace of bitcoin by big investors this year has been a driving force behind the record-breaking rally. U.S.-listed bitcoin exchange-traded funds were approved in January and have been a conduit for large-scale buying, with more than $4 billion streaming into these funds since the election. “Roughly 3% of the total supply of bitcoins that will ever exist have been purchased in 2024 by institutional money,” said Geoff Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered. “Digital assets, as an asset class, is becoming normalized,” he said. It is already becoming increasingly financialised, with the launch of bitcoin futures in 2017 and a strong debut for options on BlackRock’s ETF in November. Crypto-related stocks have soared along with the bitcoin price, with shares in bitcoin miner MARA Holdings and exchange operator Coinbase each up around 65% in November. Software firm Microstrategy, which has repeatedly raised funds to buy bitcoin and held an aggregate of about 402,100 bitcoins as of Dec. 1, has gained around 540% this year. Trump himself unveiled a new crypto business, World Liberty Financial, in September, although details have been scarce and billionaire Elon Musk, a major Trump ally, is also a proponent of cryptocurrencies. Some say the asset remains a speculative or investment vehicle and not an instrument for payments. On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell likened bitcoin to gold, “only its virtual, its digital.” “People are not using it as a form of payment, or as a store of value. Its highly volatile, it’s not a competitor for the dollar.” While earlier big bitcoin rallies have been followed by significant pullbacks, its wider adoption now may help tamp down volatility, analysts said. “That is not to say that there will not be 30-50% drawdowns over time, but my base case is that the nature of the drawdowns will be less severe than what we saw in the last bear market,” Sean Farrell, head of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisors, said. “Passive flows into ETFs, a liquid options market, corporate treasury adoption, and nation state adoption will likely play a large role in dampening volatility,” Farrell said. ‘WHO CAN PROHIBIT IT’ Cryptocurrencies have been criticized for their massive energy consumption and use in crime around the world, and the underlying technology is far from delivering a revolution in the way money moves around the globe. The U.S. and Britain announced on Wednesday they had disrupted what they described as a global money laundering ring which used cryptocurrency to help rich Russians to evade sanctions and launder cash for drug traffickers. Although calculations vary, the Cambridge University Centre for Alternative Finance estimates bitcoin uses around the same amount of electricity each year as Poland or South Africa. Still, as Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out at an investment conference on Wednesday: “Who can prohibit it? No one.” And its longevity is perhaps testament to a degree of resilience. “As time goes by it’s proving itself as part of the financial landscape,” said Shane Oliver, chief economist and head of investment strategy at AMP in Sydney. “I find it very hard to value it ... it’s anyone’s guess. But it does have a momentum aspect to it and at the moment the momentum is up.”

A Camden County man was sentenced to over 21 years in prison for sex trafficking three girls from Philadelphia to New Jersey for commercial sex, officials with the U.S. District Attorney’s Office said Thursday. Semaj A. Gilmore, 34, of Camden previously pleaded guilty to charges of sex trafficking minors in May 2023. Gilmore was accused of transporting three girls at different times between September 2020 and April 2021 from Philadelphia to New Jersey to commit commercial sex acts at his direction. All three of the girls were under the age of 18 at the time of the incidents and Gilmore was required to register as a sex offender as a result of a previous conviction, according to authorities. Gilmore was arrested in April 2021 after an undercover agent contacted him through a phone number on an online advertisement solicited the missing Pennsylvania juvenile for sex, authorities said. The undercover agent, whom Gilmore believed was a minor as well, and Gilmore exchanged several messages and arranged to meet at a Mount Laurel motel, authorities said. At the motel, Gilmore waited in a car in the parking lot, and when he saw uniformed police enter the room where the undercover agent and underage girl were, he fled the scene, according to authorities. He was captured a short time later, authorities said. “Mr. Gilmore does not make excuses for his conduct and has accepted full responsibility for his actions,” his attorney Troy Archie said Thursday. Archie added that he argued for leniency from the court given Gilmore’s background growing up in and around poverty, his previous criminal history as a juvenile living in poverty and his previous addiction to illegal substances as an adolescent. Gilmore was also sentenced to 10 years of supervised release after his prison term concludes.
