Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour[a] is a 2023 American concert film produced by the singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Directed by Sam Wrench, the film documents the Eras Tour, Swift's 2023–2024 concert tour. Swift struck an unprecedented distribution agreement with AMC Theatres and Cinemark Theatres for the film after negotiations with the major film studios fell through.

Filming took place in August 2023 at three shows at

pre-sales in the U.S. and over $100 million in total global pre-sales. The Eras Tour became the highest-grossing concert film of all-time, earning $261.7 million in its limited theatrical run worldwide. It received acclaim from critics, most of whom praised the direction, spectacle, energy, and Swift's artistry and showmanship. An extended cut of the film, subtitled (Taylor's Version), includes performances withheld from the theatrical edit and was released on the streaming service Disney+

Synopsis

The film is a "cinematic rendering" of the Eras Tour, the sixth headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.[2][3] Representing Swift's discography conceptually in 10 acts ("eras"), it depicts performances of most songs on the tour's set list, with several songs and intermissions cut to condense the 3.5-hour show into a 2.75-hour film.[b][8][9][10]

Beginning with a 13-second countdown clock ticking down, the show opens with the Lover act. Hidden by giant fan-like tapestry, Swift emerges mid-stage in a sparkly pink and blue bodysuit, singing the chorus to "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince", followed by "Cruel Summer". Accompanied by dancers, Swift sings "The Man" and "You Need to Calm Down" in a silver blazer and a set emulating office cubicles. She then performs "Lover" on a pink guitar. The second act, Fearless, sees Swift performing in a gold fringed dress with her band the songs "Fearless", "You Belong with Me" and "Love Story". The third act, Evermore, features a forest aesthetic. Swift in a orange gown and performs "Willow" with dancers holding glowing orbs, followed by "Marjorie", and then "Champagne Problems" at a moss-covered piano. She ends the act with "Tolerate It", where she and a male dancer, Raphael Thomas, play a troubled couple at a dinner table.

In the snake-themed fourth act,

All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" on a guitar. Cottagecore takes the stage in the seventh act, Folklore, which features a cabin and staircase setup onstage. Swift wears a white dress and performs "The 1"; "Betty", with her guitar, backup vocalists and band; "The Last Great American Dynasty", with dancers as period characters; solo performances of "August" and a rock-tinged "Illicit Affairs"; and "My Tears Ricochet" in a funeral procession
with female dancers wearing black long sleeved dresses.

For the eighth act, 1989, Swift wears a pink crop top and skirt while her dancers wore black and white outfits. She sings "Style", "Blank Space", "Shake It Off", and "Bad Blood"; "Blank Space" features female dancers with neon golf clubs destroying an animated car, while female dancers and pyrotechnics accompany "Bad Blood". In the ninth act, Swift appears alone in a maroon dress, performing acoustic versions of two surprise songs: "Our Song" on an acoustic guitar and "You're on Your Own, Kid" on a piano.[c] In the final act, Midnights, dancers carry out cloud decorations as Swift reappears in a purple faux fur coat to sing "Lavender Haze". Removing the coat, she performs "Anti-Hero", alongside a video of a giant version of herself terrorizing a city. During "Midnight Rain", she performs a quick change on-stage, shielded by her dancers' umbrellas, exchanging an oversized light purple and blue T-shirt for a rhinestone-adorned blue bodysuit. Swift and dancers perform "Vigilante Shit" in a burlesque chair dance, followed by "Bejeweled" and "Mastermind" in choreographed moves. They end the show with "Karma", amidst confetti and fireworks. "Long Live (Taylor's Version)" plays during the end credits.

Background and development

The Eras Tour began in Glendale, Arizona, on March 17, 2023, and is set to conclude in 2024. Each show spans three and a half 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 globally unprecedented ticket demand and fan frenzy.[2][12]

In 2023, Swift commissioned a recording of the Eras Tour to be theatrically released as a

AMPTP production that met "the same standards the unions are seeking in their negotiations with the studios".[19][20] SAG-AFTRA chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland stated that Swift "came to [them] and said she wanted to do this, but only if she could do it the right way under a union contract".[21] Swift announced the concert film on August 31 through her social media accounts and during an appearance on Good Morning America on ABC. Tickets went on sale the same day in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.[14][22][23] On September 26, Swift announced that the film would be released globally.[24]

Distribution and ticketing

In the U.S.,

stock prices on both sides of the Atlantic".[35]

AMC also served as distributor in other territories, distributing the film internationally and to unaffiliated theater chains for the first time in its history.[24] Cinemark Theatres and other circuits were also granted distribution rights to the film.[25] Chains that screened The Eras Tour include Regal, Cineplex, Cinépolis, Cinemex, and Odeon, in addition to AMC. Variance Films, via a sub-distribution deal, assisted AMC with U.S. bookings at non-AMC locations, and tickets were also available for purchase online via Fandango.[14][25][36][24] The film was reported to screen in 4,000 theaters in North America, as well as more than 8,500 theaters worldwide.[24][37]

According to media outlets, the terms of its distribution and financing were dictated by Swift rather than AMC. Industry personnel considered the

streaming services after 13 weeks.[40] The Hollywood Reporter wrote in late October 2023 that "practically every major service" was looking to secure subscription video on demand (SVOD) rights to The Eras Tour following its theatrical run.[41]

Trafalgar Releasing handled the film's global distribution and negotiated the release of the film in China,

Wanda Cinemas securing the deal.[43] The film was later approved for release in China on December 31, 2023, which The Washington Post called a "rarity" due to the "stringent vetting process for foreign films released in China", which it attributed to Swift's status as the most popular foreign artist in the country with a dedicated fanbase and a favorable reception among Chinese media outlets.[44][45]

Release

Theatrical

The Grove, an entertainment complex in Los Angeles, hosted the world premiere of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour on October 11, 2023.

The Eras Tour had its world premiere on October 11, 2023, at The Grove at Farmers Market, an open-air mall complex in Los Angeles, California, with early preview showings on October 12.[46][47][48] It received a worldwide theatrical release in more than 100 countries and territories on October 13,[24][49] two weeks before the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version),[50] while some countries and territories had a later premiere date of November 3,[51] and in China on December 31, 2023.[44] In the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Australia, the film was screened for four consecutive weekends beginning on October 13.[14][50]

Variety noted that the film's four-weekend theatrical run and wide North American releases were "far from the kind of one- or two-night special engagement that music fans have become used to with filmed concert experiences" in theaters.[14] It also highlighted that limiting screenings to Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays would make the film feel like an event as audiences "will be able to watch the concert extravaganza with a packed crowd and not in half-empty theaters during a Monday matinee".[52] Deadline Hollywood reported that as of October 9, 2023, The Eras Tour had 65,000 showtimes on opening day across the U.S., totaling around 11.5 million seats.[53] In China, the film opened across 15,000 screens.[54]

The Eras Tour's premiere at The Grove was attended by celebrities, journalists, Swift's family, her personnel, and over 2,200 invited

West Hollywood were closed for the premiere, with increased police presence. Swift delivered a welcome note in each of the mall's AMC theaters before the screening.[3][55]

Streaming

On December 13, 2023, her 34th birthday, Swift released an extended version of the film in collaboration with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, featuring performances of "Wildest Dreams", "The Archer" and "Long Live".[5] It was available to rent on video-on-demand services in select territories for a limited period.[56]

A longer, unabridged edit of the film, subtitled (Taylor's Version), was released to

You Are in Love".[7][11][57] Disney+ purchased the film's exclusive streaming rights for reportedly more than $75 million in a bidding war with Netflix and Universal, negotiated by Swift's brother Austin.[58][59] To coincide with the launch of the film, the platform temporarily revamped its homepage and genre categories to titles inspired by Swift's eras.[60] Variety reported the film garnered 4.6 million views in its first three days of availability, breaking the record for the most-viewed music film in the history of Disney+.[61]

Impact

The film's unorthodox strategy in theatrical release generated much commentary from film, music, and entertainment journalists. Vanity Fair opined that the film arrived "just when moviegoing needs it most" and may boost theater earnings after the business was widely affected by the then-ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which affected numerous Hollywood productions.[63] Many journalists expressed similar sentiments, believing the film would "save" the late 2023 box office.[64][33][52] National Association of Theatre Owners president Michael O'Leary believed the success of The Eras Tour indicates the potential of concert films in theaters.[33] CNBC commented that Swift would reinvigorate the concert film genre that had first entered cinema theatres in the 1960s.[65] Rolling Stone named The Eras Tour one of the "42 Must-See Movies of Fall 2023".[66]

The Daily Telegraph praised Swift as "the greatest tactician in showbusiness," writing, "Barbenheimer showed people will go to the cinema if they feel they are participating in a communal experience. Hollywood refused to take advantage of this. So Swift has instead."[38] Analyses from Collider and TheWrap concluded that by successfully negotiating her deal and proving its profitability, Swift incentivized theaters to find programming without the help of the studios, "potentially changing the dynamics of cinema distribution."[39][62] British-American filmmaker Christopher Nolan supported her "unorthodox release model" and claimed concert films are the future of moviegoing.[67] Tony Vinciquerra, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures, called The Eras Tour a "massive, unexpected rescue" for theaters.[68] Variety opined that the film saved the fall movie season.[69]

Media publications believed Swift and AMC's partnership "[had] the potential to rewrite the rules" of film distribution.[18][52] Billboard noted the "unusual deal" could influence AMC and other exhibitors to expand their distribution operations to include other concert films.[40] On October 1, 2023, American singer Beyoncé announced Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, a concert film of her Renaissance World Tour, in the advent of The Eras Tour's release. Renaissance had the same distribution deal "forged by AMC and [Swift]" without the involvement of the major studios.[70][71] Beyoncé later attended The Eras Tour's premiere.[3] Ray Nutt, CEO of live entertainment content provider Fathom Events, opined that a "post-Eras concert film boom" is imminent, with studios "reaching out in earnest, looking for partnership" and artists "already making calls and taking cues from Swift's Eras deal."[41] AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron said, "The phone has been ringing off the hook since they have announced Eras tour concert film release, and a significant number of the world's best artists would like to explore doing things with AMC, after the success of Swift's deal."[72] Sarah Whitten of CNBC named the film "one of the most important of the year, for recreating a staple experience of attending live concerts."[73] Variety also remarked that "the concert film rewrote the box office rules in 2023 by changing concert film experience."[74]

Affected films

Various films moved their theatrical release dates to avoid competing with Swift. The hashtag "#Exorswift" trended on

supernatural horror film. This was in reference to the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon surrounding Barbie (2023) and Oppenheimer (2023) earlier that year. In response, Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions preponed the release of Believer, originally on a Friday the 13th, by one week,[75][76] a move IndieWire observed likely did not come at a low cost considering Believer's expensive marketing campaign.[25] Paramount Pictures and Apple Studios also abandoned plans for a two-week limited run of the western crime drama film Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Martin Scorsese, preceding its wide release on October 20.[77]

Box office

Pre-release

The Eras Tour was met with unprecedented ticket demand. Given its unorthodox release model, various industry personnel attempted to predict the film's box-office gross. Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian told CNBC that "speculation [was] running rampant as to how massive the opening weekend will be."[84] Billboard opined, "While such concert docs have historically been fan-only fare, with limited box-office ceilings, news of The Eras Tour was greeted as if it was the new Marvel blockbuster".[85] The U.S. projections for the opening weekend gross ranged from a record $70 million to $100 million among media outlets.[86][87][88] The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline Hollywood reported that the film was vying for a global opening-week gross of $150–200 million ($100–125 million in North America and $50–75 million overseas), stating that its "truncated" theatrical run was an obstacle in predicting its gross.[89][90] The full gross from its theatrical run in the U.S. and Canada was projected by Variety to be $200–250 million.[52] The New York Times expressed uncertainty regarding the film's box-office forecasts, claiming they are based on moviegoer surveys and marketing, and hence the ticket sales could either sustain or decline after the opening weekend.[91]

On September 1, 2023, AMC announced that The Eras Tour had grossed $26 million within three hours on its platform, marking the highest-ever single-day advance ticket sales in the company's history, surpassing the previous record of $16.9 million by Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).[92][93] Wanda Gierhart Fearing, chief marketing officer of Cinemark, reported they had booked an "unprecedented number of auditoriums" to meet demand.[94] Hence, AMC and Cinemark added more showtimes.[92][93][95] IMAX sold out more than 250 screenings of the film in one day, a number similar to that of "a blockbuster tentpole feature".[94] Fandango reported that The Eras Tour had set a platform record for the highest first-day ticket sales in 2023, comparable to No Way Home, Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).[87] Deadline Hollywood reported that the film had earned over $37 million in first-day pre-sale revenue across the U.S., surpassing The Force Awakens' $20 million and marking the second-highest pre-sale tally ever, behind Avengers: Endgame's $50 million.[86] By September 15, the film's pre-sale revenue had reached $65 million, surpassing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)'s $60 million and The Batman (2022)'s $42 million.[96]

AMC reported $100 million earned in global pre-sales a week before the film's release,[37] surpassing Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011) to become the highest-grossing concert film of all time.[97][98] As of October 9, 2023, around 4200 showtimes of the film in the U.S. were sold out, outpacing Barbie (2023), which had 500 sold-out shows in the same timeframe.[53] In Mexico, during the first days of pre-sale, the film sold a record 292,500 tickets at Cinépolis theaters, surpassing that of Avengers: Infinity War (2018).[99] In Australia, the film grossed more than $300,000 within the first 12 hours of pre-sales at Hoyts, tripling the first-day pre-sales of Avatar: The Way of Water (2022).[50] In the United Kingdom, the film broke the Vue record for the highest first-day and first-week pre-sales for a concert film, surpassing BTS: Permission to Dance on Stage (2022).[100][101]

Performance

As of February 8, 2024, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has grossed $261.7 million worldwide.[1] It is the highest grossing concert or performance film of all time, a feat recognized in the 2023 Guinness World Records.[102]

In the U.S., The Eras Tour made $2.8 million from Thursday night previews at 2,700 theaters, which were added only the day prior.

supernatural horror film Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) both times.[109][110]

The film made $30.7 million from international territories and a global total of $123.5 million in its first week.[111] It opened atop the U.K. and Ireland box office with a gross of over £1,000,000 ($1.3 million USD) as per Vue.[112] In India, The Eras Tour sold over 85,000 tickets for its opening weekend—a record for concert films in the country.[113] In Brazil, the film opened with a gross of nearly R$5,000,000 ($1.01 million USD),[114] whereas in China, it collected US$5.7 million dollars on its opening day,[54] on its way to a gross of RMB 95,000,000 (US$13.2 million).[115]

Reception

Critics

Upon release, The Eras Tour received acclaim from critics,

weighted average, assigned the film a score of 82 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[121] It was the best reviewed musical movie of 2023, as per Rotten Tomatoes.[122]

Lina Das of The Daily Telegraph and Keiran Southern of The Sunday Times praised the film's energy and spectacle. Southern felt the film surpassed the live show in some aspects, with the camera work putting the audience "onto the stage with Swift".[123][124] Kristen Lopez of TheWrap dubbed the film "a bombastic celebration of joy and color" and a "spectacle of sound",[125] whereas Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com called it a "technical spectacle" and a "dazzling achievement".[126] Reviews from Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter,[17] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post,[127] Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of Financial Times,[128] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone,[129] and Bilal Qureshi of NPR called the film an impressive and immersive work.[130] New York's Craig Jenkins and Little White Lies' Lillian Crawford praised the cinematography for its portrayal of Swift's musicianship.[131][132] Katie Campione of Deadline Hollywood emphasized the visuals, energy, and vibrance,[133] while Tim Grierson of Screen International felt it was a both rousing and intimate view of Swift's musical dexterity.[134] Peter Travers, writing for ABC News, said the film "beautifully accentuates [Swift's] gifts for artistic reinvention."[135]

A number of critics praised the film's spectacle, which they attributed to the visual production of the concert and the cinematography of the stadium and Swift up-close, ensuing in an immersive quality.[d]

On the film's structure, Savannah Walsh of Vanity Fair highlighted that the film eschewed five songs and shortened the transitions between songs "to shave the 3-hour-and-15-minute concert into a still-supersized 2 hours and 45 minutes."[136] The Associated Press' Maria Sherman and The Guardian's Adriana Horton agreed that the film highlights the details potentially "missed" in a stadium; Sherman called it a near replica of the concert with limited edits and "stage banter", while Horton felt that the "meticulous" camerawork directed by Wrench aptly featured the dancers, backing vocalists, and band, who are often "overshadowed" by Swift during live shows.[9][137] Cindy White of The A.V. Club liked how the concert is concise in the film to allow a seamless "flow" between songs and appreciated the "expertly mixed" sound—the crowd noise diminished to focus on Swift's "energetic" vocals.[138]

Some critics faulted Wrench's camera direction. Wesley Morris of The New York Times called The Eras Tour a monumental and revelatory film; he praised Swift's "arresting stature" while criticizing Wrench for allowing shots "all over the place", but admitted accommodating the stage's scale and high-tech screen imaging into a cohesive film is an arduous task.[139] Similarly, Time's Stephanie Zacharek disliked some of Wrench's "reckless" camerawork choices, but felt Swift's stage presence "instantaneously airbrushes every questionable filmmaking decision into oblivion."[140] Michael Phillips of Chicago Tribune described Wrench as a director who typically employs conventional framing and editing approaches, but the film could have benefited from a more steady editing pace and reduced camera shifts to fan reactions.[141] Mike Shutt from /Film thought that most of the film lacked meticulous shot compositions, and felt that Wrench relied on multi-camera footage and an expedited editing process.[142] Richard Brody of The New Yorker said the film increased his understanding of Swift's artistry but felt that the short and monotonous camera shots made the watching experience "wearying".[143]

Conversely, Alejandra Martinez of The Austin Chronicle said the shots offer a "great sense of scope", capturing the show's scale and emotion while "ramping up the excitement with every frame."[144] Alonso Duralde called it a "beautifully shot and edited" film spotlighting Swift's showmanship.[145] Melissa Ruggieri wrote in USA Today that the film "offers a front-row seat to the grandeur", complimenting the camerawork for capturing the tour's detailed production and Swift's charisma.[8] In congruence, Uproxx's Philip Cosores and Variety's Chris Willman said the film prolifically emphasizes the performance and production details that "get easily obscured by the overwhelming nature of live music" from a concertgoer standpoint.[146][147] NME's Kevin EG Perry described the film as "three hours of slick, lovingly shot footage of a modern pop star operating at the very peak of her powers."[148]

Audience

A number of fans made friendship bracelets and shared them at the screenings of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour—a reference to the lyrics in Swift's 2022 song "You're on Your Own, Kid".

Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a rare average grade of "A+", while those polled at PostTrak gave it a 96% overall positive score, with 89% saying they would definitely recommend the film.[103] Rolling Stone commented that cinemas were bracing for rowdy crowds after Swift encouraged her fans, the Swifties, to sing and dance at film screenings.[149] The Wall Street Journal, CNBC and The Guardian reported that multiple cinemas were altering rules around audience behavior for The Eras Tour such as suspending evening age restrictions and allowing phone use, singing and dancing.[150][151][152] Some theaters worked to recreate the tour's atmosphere by encouraging fans to dress up, offering friendship bracelet-making stations, and selling themed refreshments and merchandise.[150] Audiences in some opening-day shows of the film were reported to have had highly enthusiastic and fanatic reactions.[153][154]

The Hollywood Reporter journalists reported dancing, singing and cheering audiences at the premiere,[17] and that some screenings on the official release date "felt more like a concert" in terms of behavior while others "were more muted".[155] The A.V. Club's Emma Keates felt it was jarring to attend a screening with no fan frenzy.[156] Hornaday, who attended a screening where the audience was chanting, shouting and singing, opined "one of the delights of The Eras Tour is that it makes moviegoing a contact, call-and-response sport, with audiences literally dancing in the aisles and waving at the screen as if their idol can see them."[127] Insider's Eve Crosbie and NBC's Emilie Ikeda noted that videos of such audiences "divided" social media users who debated on audience etiquette; some felt it was a communal experience while some others felt it was excessive and disruptive.[157][158]

The film marked the first, official Swift-related activity in India, where the film was released on November 3, 2023, and was met with fan frenzy, "delightful chaos", "loud cheers", group singing and dancing. India Today reported that the theatre staff across India were unprepared for the energy and excitement of Indian Swifties. Local media drew comparisons with prominent Indian actors such as Salman Khan and Vijay, while internet users were critical of "the love Indians were showering on an American pop star, saying they were obsessed with Western culture." Indian Swifties on social argued that "if it was acceptable for fans to stand outside Shah Rukh Khan's house to watch him wave at them for a few minutes, they should not be criticised for enjoying the theatre experience they paid for." According to journalist Chingkheingambi Mayengbam, Swift and her concerts "provide a space for celebration without conflict—she's not fighting goons, revelling as the anti-hero, but fighting her own demons. Fans feel empowered without suppressing others, and her music serves as a medium for catharsis and emotional expression."[159] In China, where the film was released on December 31, 2023, it was met with "jubilation and frenzied planning—as thousands of fans have mobilized across the country", as per The Washington Post. The Chinese messaging platform WeChat reported an influx of groups in various cities dedicated to purchasing tickets before they sell out. In Beijing, people "scoured Imax theaters to secure commemorative popcorn cups and drinkware printed with Swift's face" ahead of the theatrical release.[45]

Analysis

Critics emphasized that The Eras Tour is a straightforward concert film and not a standard music documentary. They highlighted the absence of "docu-style elements"—such as interviews, behind-the-scenes or archived footage—in the film, calling it a concert film "in the true sense".[41][148]

Several publications interpreted The Eras Tour as a cinematic tribute to Swift's music and her fandom. They attributed the film's success to its emphasis on communal experience and observed its feminist aspects, celebrating femininity and the female movie-going experience. Journalist Jo Ellison, writing for Financial Times, said that Swift's "supremacy" over the entertainment industry has resulted in much discourses over what her "secret sauce" could be, and opined that Swift "infuriates male critics by not looking like a sexpot".[172][173][129][174]
