Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is getting the big screen treatment with a concert film that will make Swifties’ wildest dreams come true — at least in North America.
The Grammy winner, 33, announced on Instagram Thursday morning that a film compiled from her recent slate of star-studded shows at L.A.’s SoFi Stadium will hit AMC Theatres on Oct. 13. (Dedicated fans will know that Swift — born on Dec. 13 — counts the number as her favorite, often painting it on the back of her hand for performances.)
“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 😆,” the “Anti-Hero” singer captioned a trailer. “Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged 🫶 1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk).”
Speculation emerged earlier this month that Swift might be working on another documentary as fans noticed camera crews at the majority of the tour’s shows. It wouldn’t exactly be far-fetched as Swift’s world tours for albums “1989″ and “Reputation” each got their own concert films, as did her 2020 one-off “City of Lover” show in Paris.
The Eras Tour was a hit well before it officially kicked off in mid-March. Hours-long delays during Ticketmaster’s presale ultimately saw the website crash and stop offering on-sale tickets.
Throughout the summer, Swift has continually announced new dates for her international and domestic legs of the show. Among the stops she’ll be making next year are those in Singapore, Tokyo, London and the E.U., before wrapping up in North America next fall with a handful of shows added to the schedule earlier this month.
The screenings will take place at least four times a day Thursdays through Sundays in the U.S. Unlike the exponentially priced tickets to the tour itself, the film is being priced at $19.89 for adults and $13.13 for kids and seniors — not-so-subtle nods to Swift’s 2015 album and favorite number, respectively.
The lower pre-tax prices, applicable for showings outside of larger formats like IMAX, are intended to keep the film “accessible and affordable,” according to a release sent to AMC investors.
