Baby, let the games begin! Fans who weren’t lucky enough to score tickets to Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour in person — and those who are dying to relive their original experience — are in for a treat as the singer just announced that the record-breaking concert will be coming to theaters near you. Dare we suggest that Swift is saving cinema amid the dual Hollywood Strikes? It’s certainly possible!
The star recently wrapped up the United States leg of her tour — in which she sang 44 songs during each show’s three hours and 15 minutes. Now, she’s gearing up for the release of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” as well as the Latin America part of her tour. But first, she took to Instagram earlier this morning to reveal the big news.
“The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon ???? ,” she captioned a post of the trailer. “Starting Oct 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America! Tickets are on sale now. Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged ???? 1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk).”
With a premiere date of Oct. 13, the Eras Tour movie — which is directed by Sam Wrench — will be releasing on the same day as The Exorcist: Believer. Therefore, this summer’s Barbenheimer will soon be swapped out for the fall’s Exorswift — and we couldn’t be more excited.
So where can you watch Swift’s Eras Tour concert film? Will it be available on streaming? Here’s everything we know about the highly-anticipated event:
As of now, the only way to watch the Eras Tour movie is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Oct. 13. Tickets for local showings are currently available to purchase on Fandango. According to Deadline, the film will show in AMC, Regal and Cinemark theaters from Oct. 13-15, Oct. 19-22, Oct. 26-29, Oct. 31 and Nov. 2-5.
In light of the announcement — and last year’s presale catastrophe on Ticketmaster — AMC has also updated its website to handle the extremely high demand. In a statement released to Deadline, the company said, “AMC is also aware that no ticketing system in history seems to have been able to accommodate the soaring demand of Taylor Swift fans when tickets are first placed on sale.”
Because of this, you may want to get your tickets ASAP before they sell out!
While no streaming plans have been announced, it’s possible the Eras Tour movie will come to one of the platforms at some point in the future. But which one? Swift previously released Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions on Disney+, while both her Miss Americana documentary and the Reputation Stadium Tour concert film were released on Netflix. So for now, it looks like only time will tell.
In the meantime, start making your friendship bracelets and bedazzling your wardrobe because we’re less than two short months away from the Eras Tour movie hitting theaters.
