If your TikTok feed is anything like ours, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has taken over your life. We set our watches to alert us when it’s secret song time, we text our Swifties group chat which outfits she’s wearing in any given show and of course we’ve hosted a friendship-bracelet-making night.

And as book lovers, we figured the best thing to do with all of this energy and devotion… was to match book covers to Taylor’s different Eras costumes! (Please note, we’re just going for the covers here, not the actual content of the book.)

If you have tickets to a later show date and are (somehow) avoiding tour spoilers, consider yourself warned.

Purchases you make through our links may earn us and our publishing partners a commission.

'Lover' era: 'Song of Silver, Flame Like Night' by Amélie Wen Zhao

Taylor Swift in a "Lover" look from her Eras tour pairs well with Amélie Wen Zhao's "Song of Silver, Flame Like Night."

You see the clock countdown on the screen. You hear a soft, repeated “it’s been a long time coming” –– and you know you’re about to have the best night of your life.

Up first in the Eras Tour is Taylor Swift’s 'Lover' era, in which Taylor emerges from a cloudlike petal in this gorgeous custom Atelier Versace bodysuit adorned with reflective blue, pink and silver jewels.

These jewels perfectly match the cover of Amélie Wen Zhao’s "Song of Silver, Flame Like Night," a YA fantasy inspired by the mythology and folklore of ancient China. In this story, one girl must find out the secrets of her nation’s past — and unveil the demons that sleep in its center.

'Fearless' era: 'Lies We Sing to the Sea' by Sarah Underwood

Taylor's "Fearless" era look is golden, and so is "Lies We Sing to the Sea" by Sarah Underwood.

Taylor goes back in time to her Grammy-award winning 'Fearless' era, with hand hearts, twirls and country twang. And yes, she’s ready to dance in a storm in this Roberto Cavalli gold dress.

The fringe of this dress goes swimmingly with the golden waves featured on the cover of Sarah Underwood’s Sapphic Greek mythological fantasy "Lies We Sing to the Sea." If you’re a fan of "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller or "Lore" by Alexandra Bracken, check this title out.

'Evermore' era: 'Painted Devils' by Margaret Owen

Taylor Swift's ethereal "Evermore" era look recalls Margaret Owen's "Painted Devils."

Ethereal, witchy and so divine, the 'Evermore' era is next up! In a corseted and beaded yellow Etro dress, Taylor gives an homage to her opera-singing grandmother and sings fan-favorite "Champagne Problems" at the piano before a minutes-long break for applause.

We love how cottage-core this dress is, and the vibes and detailing go hand-in-hand with Margaret Owen’s "Painted Devils." In this much-awaited sequel to "Little Thieves," we revisit Vanja, the adopted daughter of Death and Fortune as she accidentally starts a cult, much like intro to the "Evermore" set of the show! This is a classic-feeling fairy tale that will put you in the headspace for a full listen of your "Evermore" vinyl.

'Reputation' era: 'Eclipse' by Stephenie Meyer

Don't blame us if Taylor Swift signature "Reputation" era look is giving major "Eclipse" vibes.

Are you ready for it? The 'Reputation' era is bombastic, bold, and absolutely iconic –– just look at this Roberto Cavalli catsuit!

Because "Reputation" is so unforgettable and also because we couldn’t get this image out of our heads from the moment we saw it, we think "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer is the best book look to go with it.

Don’t blame us, this pair is perfection.

'Speak Now' era: 'Foul Lady Fortune' by Chloe Gong

Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" look has us speechless, and so does Chloe Gong's "Foul Lady Fortune."

We are so enchanted to meet you… and also to have "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)" in our hands soon. We were all shocked that the "Speak Now" set of the Eras tour is only one song long, but what a song it is! And Taylor looks absolutely enchanting in this Nicole + Felicia ball gown.

"Foul Lady Fortune" by Chloe Gong is not only an amazing color match for this dress, but there's also a trail of smoke emerging from the bottle on the cover, much like the smoke Taylor disappears into at the end of the song. Plus, for all the longtime Swifties, doesn’t the bottle remind you of the Wonderstruck perfume from the "Speak Now" era?

'Red' era: 'A Fire Endless' by Rebecca Ross

Taylor Swift has us seeing "Red," and so does Rebecca Ross' "A Fire Endless."

Loving him was red, burning red… a fire endless, you might say. We are obsessed with this epic Ashish romper and matching coat that Taylor wears for all 10 minutes of "All Too Well" during the "Red" set of the Eras Tour.

We love how the pop of the guitar puts the focus on the harp on the cover of Rebecca Ross’ "A Fire Endless," the sequel to her adult fantasy "A River Enchanted."

This duology makes a great comfort read for rainy days. It's inspired by Scottish folktales and feels like a modern classic.

'Folklore' era: 'The Great Transition' by Nick Fuller Googins

Taylor Swift is dreamy in pink in her "Folklore" era, and so is Nick Fuller Googins' "The Great Transition."

Moody, wistful and flowing, Taylor’s "Folklore" set features some of her most show-stopping vocals, especially when she kneels on the ground to belt "Illicit Affairs" in this bohemian-inspired Alberta Ferretti dress.

The rippling fabric reminds us of water and sky, so "The Great Transition" by Nick Fuller Googins is a gorgeous fit. This is a climate utopia novel for fans of Emily St. John Mandel following a family navigating crisis –– it comes out in August, so preorder your copy!'

'1989' era: 'Revelle' by Lyssa Mia Smith

Taylor Swift's "1989" Eras Tour look shimmers, as does Lyssa Mia Smith's "Revelle."

Swift is that girl in this Roberto Cavalli top and skirt. At first glance this set looks monochromatic, but up close the beading pattern reveals a complicated, kaleidoscope-like pattern.

Welcome to New York! "Revelle" by Lyssa Mia Smith couldn’t be a better fit for this outfit if it tried. This magical YA fantasy is inspired by Moulin Rouge but set in Prohibition-era New York City.

Oh, Taylor, we wish you would tell us when "1989 (Taylor’s Version)" is on its way!

'Midnights' era: 'Glitterland' by Alexis Hall

Taylor Swift's "Midnight" Eras Tour look glitters as bright as Alexis Hall's appropriately named "Glitterland."

Meet her at midnight! And by the "Midnights: set of the Eras Tour, it really is close to midnight! To close out her epic three and a half hour show, Taylor shimmers in this Oscar de la Renta bodysuit.

What could be a better fit for our bejeweled queen than "Glitterland" by Alexis Hall? This sparkling LGBTQ romance follows Ash Winters, a former literary darling turned pulpy crime-fiction writer and Darian Taylor, an Essex-lad who is flashy and full of life. Like Taylor’s "Midnights" album, this story focuses on mental health, specifically depression, and we loved watching their love unfold. Read this romance expecting plenty of mirror balls!
