Concert Movie From “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”: A Spectacular, Record-Breaking Experience
The show begins with the countdown to showtime, the sensation of a rollercoaster steadily reaching its peak, and then a soft fake-out. Before she is seen, Taylor Swift is heard. Her voice echoes as she says, “It’s been a while.” Then comes the surprise: a shortened version of “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” that transitions into “Cruel Summer,” a song that TikTok gave fresh life to on her 2019 album “Lover,” four years after its first release. At this point, it should be abundantly evident that the movie “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is a nearly perfect duplicate of her wildly popular live performance, which features a summary of each of her 10 studio albums from her 17-year career. Except for a few CGI effects and album title cards to introduce each epoch, there won’t be any narrative breaks, production behind-the-scenes material, or additional set decoration. The movie lives up to its title’s promise: This is the EraTour in full.

For those who’ve managed to snag tickets to the Eras Tour concert, it is the ability to relive the experience, likely with loved ones who weren’t as lucky. For those who didn’t attend, it’s a chance to test expectations versus reality. But for everyone, it is the opportunity to have every seat in the house transform into the best seat in the house. “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is all up close and personal footage from every vantage point, courtesy of Sam Wrench, who shot and directed it.
The concert movie, which was made from footage of many Taylor Swift performances at Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium, is anticipated to gross at least $100 million at the box office. Over $100 million worth of tickets have already been sold in advance globally.

The concert movie, according to AMC, shattered the company’s record for the biggest day-one ticket sales income. According to the movie theatre company Cinemark, domestic pre-sales records are more than “10 times higher pre-sales than any other cinema engagement event.”
Although it’s too soon to tell, all indications point to her unseating “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” as the most popular concert movie ever. Along with a star-studded audience that included Adam Sandler, Mariska Hargitay, Julia Garner, “Queer Eye” co-host Karamo Brown, country singer Maren Morris, singer Hayley Kiyoko, and Bachelor Nation’s Becca Tilley, Swift also shut down The Grove, a busy shopping centre just south of Hollywood, for the premiere on Wednesday night.
