Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour

October 8, 2023

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is a 2023 concert film documenting the Eras Tour, a 2023–2024 concert tour by singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Directed by Sam Wrench, produced by Swift, and distributed by AMC Theatres.

After negotiations with the major film studios fell through, Swift struck an unprecedented distribution agreement directly with AMC, who then negotiated with Cinemark for exhibition. Filming occurred in August 2023 at three shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and SAG-AFTRA permitted production to proceed amidst its 2023 strike. Swift announced The Eras Tour later that month, catching studios and exhibitors off guard and causing several films that had been set for release on October 13th to move their release dates. The film was met with significant ticket demand, amassing a record $37 million in its first day of pre-sales in the U.S.

The Eras Tour is the sixth headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It began in Glendale, Arizona, on March 17, 2023, and is set to conclude in 2024. The show spans over three hours, with a set list of 44 songs divided into 10 distinct acts that conceptually portray Swift's ten studio albums. The tour was a commercial success and received critical acclaim. It became a cultural and economic phenomenon, bolstered by a globally unprecedented ticket demand and fan frenzy.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is set to debut in theaters October 13th. Watch the official trailer below.
