Taylor Swift Confirms ‘Eras Tour Movie’ For 13th October: All You Need To Know

On August 31st, Taylor Swift delighted her fans with a major announcement that added a new dimension to her massively successful Eras Tour. The global trek, which had already captured the hearts of music enthusiasts across the world during its first U.S. leg, was now set to make its way to AMC theaters all over North America. The news was met with an explosion of excitement as Swifties everywhere eagerly anticipated the opportunity to witness their favorite pop star’s iconic stage show on the big screen.

In a social media post accompanied by an 80-second trailer, Taylor Swift shared her elation about bringing her Eras Tour to the cinema experience. The 33-year-old artist expressed that this tour had been an incredibly meaningful and electrifying journey in her life so far. The prospect of showcasing this remarkable experience in movie theaters further added to the excitement, generating a buzz among fans.

The trailer itself was a treasure trove of glimpses from various phases of Taylor Swift’s illustrious career, offering a comprehensive view of the evolution of her music and performance style over time. As she invited her fans to relive the magic of the tour on the silver screen, she playfully encouraged them to embrace the spirit of different eras by donning era-specific attire, exchanging friendship bracelets, and enthusiastically singing and dancing along to her music.

The anticipation for the concert film reached such unprecedented heights that it even overwhelmed the ticketing app of a major theater chain—AMC—in a way reminiscent of the demand for her live tour tickets. Swifties flooded social media platforms with tweets about their wait times and frustrations, with some lamenting that they were unable to load the app at all due to the overwhelming surge of interest. The sheer volume of fans attempting to secure their spots for the cinematic experience showcased the immense popularity and influence that Taylor Swift commands.

Interestingly, AMC had made significant preparations ahead of the concert film announcement. The company recognized the magnitude of the event and took measures to ensure that its online infrastructure could handle the surge in traffic. It had upgraded its website, bolstering its capacity to accommodate more than five times the largest ticketing traffic it had previously encountered. This strategic move indicated the anticipation that Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film had generated, setting the stage for a seamless ticketing experience once the floodgates opened.

In conclusion, Taylor Swift’s decision to bring her Eras Tour to AMC theaters in North America was met with an outpouring of enthusiasm from her devoted fanbase. The promise of reliving the unforgettable moments from her tour on the big screen, coupled with the chance to celebrate the different eras of her music, added an extra layer of excitement to an already remarkable journey. The overwhelming response and technical preparations byAMC highlighted the immense impact that Taylor Swift continues to have on the music and entertainment industry, solidifying her status as a global icon.

1. When It Comes Out

The Eras Tour movie arrives in theaters Friday, October 13.

2. How to Get Tickets

The price will vary depending on the format and theater, and AMC will offer the movie in IMAX and Dolby Cinema in addition to conventional screenings. AMC improved its website and ticketing engines to accommodate more than five times the highest influx of ticket-buying traffic ever experienced by the firm in preparation for an expected surge in interest, also known as a repetition of Ticketmaster’s stressful presale roll-out for the U.S. Eras Tour dates.

All things considered, ordinary tickets for adults cost $19.89 (plus tax); those for kids and seniors cost $13.13 (plus tax). The movie will be shown at AMC theaters across North America, including those in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as at Cinemark, Cineplex, and Cinepolis, for whom AMC is acting as distributor

On Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during its run, the film will be shown at least four times daily at every AMC Theatre in the United States.

3. When It Was Filmed, And Where

Swift performed a total of six consecutive gigs at SoFi Stadium in early August, and the Eras Tour movie was filmed during the first three of those performances. Nearly 500,000 people attended the Los Angeles venue in all.

4. Possible Surprise Songs

Six unexpected songs, including “I Can See You,” “Maroon,” “Our Song,” “You Are in Love,” “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” and “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” were delivered by the pop star throughout her appearances at SoFi from August 3–5

5. The Runtime

Swift’s “self-titled” debut is featured in the Eras movie trailer, which may provide some insight about which tracks may be included. The only song from her debut album played at any of the three recorded performances was “Our Song,” which appeared on August 4 during her acoustic set.

Additionally, this was Swift’s second performance of “Our Song” during the acoustic portion of an Eras show; the first was in Las Vegas in March, breaking a promise she made earlier in the tour that she wouldn’t repeat any non-Midnights surprise songs. Coincidence?

6. The Director

Sam Wrench, the director of previous concert videos like Billie Eilish Live at the O2 and BTS: Permission to Dance, helmed the Eras Tour movie. The Emmy-winning, Grammy-nominated producer, who has worked with Lizzo, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Mary J. Blige among others, specializes in shooting live music material.

7. Any peculiarities with the cost of the tickets?

In a blatant nod to Taylor Swift’s 2014 fifth studio album 1989, which also happens to be her upcoming “Taylor’s Version” re-record, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), AMC is charging a standard $19.89 charge (less tax) for adults. Additionally, tickets for children and seniors are priced at $13.13, a not-so-subtle nod to Swift’s well-known lucky number of 13.

8. It’s Going to Be A Full Experience

Swift appears to be making every effort to ensure that seeing the Eras Tour movie feels as similar to actually attending a concert as possible. As a result, when the movie premiered in theaters, she asked fans to attend all the same celebrations as they would at a live performance: “Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged,” she stated in her announcement for the movie.

Swifties have spent the summer exchanging handmade friendship bracelets at Eras Tour concerts, a trend that was started by a line from Midnights song “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” and even famous people have joined in!

9. The Song You Probably Won’t See

Tis the damn Season,” which is typically a part of the Evermore set list, most likely won’t appear in the concert movie for the Eras Tour. That’s because “No Body, No Crime,” which Swift performed with the opening act HAIM, took its place in all of the performances that were recorded for the film.

Only if it was secretly recorded at one of Swift’s performances will you be able to watch the crowd-pleaser on a big screen.

10. It’s Not Swift’s First Documentary

Swifties may recall that the “Anti-Hero” singer has previously appeared in feature-length documentaries, and she has also produced performance videos for previous tours.

The 2020 release of Taylor Swift’s Netflix film Miss Americana will be followed by her Eras Tour. The celebrity was primarily depicted in the Lana Wilson-directed film while she was changing from the Reputation to Lover phase and gaining self-assurance as an activist.

Before that, Swift released concert videos for her 1989 and Reputation tours via Apple Music and Netflix, respectively. Prior to it, she also made DVDs of her first two headline tours, Speak Now World Tour — Live in 2011 and Journey to Fearless in 2010.
