In October of 2023, Taylor Swift released her movie titled Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Most people know about Taylor Swift’s recent tour which attracted thousands of people and even affected aspects of the U.S. economy. The tour featured music from all of her past albums and two surprise songs for each venue. Thus, fans flocked to local arenas and stadiums to watch the pop star perform live.
But what about the fans that couldn’t make it to the concerts or just wanted to watch it again? Well, now fans have the chance to do just that with this new movie. The film is two hours and forty-five minutes long, featuring the music and video performances from the last U.S. show of the tour. Recently, a deluxe version of the movie has been released, featuring three songs that were not in the original movies, Long Live, The Archer, and Wildest Dreams. Overall, the audio and visual aspects of the movie were amazing to watch come to life and form the experience of attending one of her shows.
Also, some practices from the tour have been carried over to the movie theaters. For example, before the tour, fans created friendship bracelets to trade at the tour. This was inspired by the Taylor Swift song You’re On Your Own Kid, and allowed the fans to have more fun at the concerts than if they were just listening to her music. At the theaters, some fans are continuing to trade bracelets since it is meant to mimic the experience of attending her tour. Additionally, in the theaters it was acceptable for fans to sing and dance along with the music as if they were at the concert.
Overall, the movie was fun and energetic, captivating the audience and allowing viewers to express themselves with the music. The experience will continue to live within many fans and linger in their memories for years to come. If you’re a fan of Taylor Swift, regardless if you went to her tour in person or not, I highly recommend this movie.
