Taylor Swift’s record- breaking Eras Tour hit theaters on Oct. 13 in North America. The 33-year-old artist made the announcement on her social media, posting a trailer for the concert film.
According to Variety Magazine, Swift posted, “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,” alongside the trailer.
She added, “Starting Oct. 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America! [..] Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged… 1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk).”
AMC Theatres said that the film will play at every one of its U.S. locations at least four times a day on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; it will also play on Cinemark and Regal screens in the U.S.
The film’s running time is listed on the AMC ticketing site as 2 hours and 45 minutes, slightly shorter than the estimated 3 hours and 15 minutes set length in her live concerts.
Although not all fans were able to attend the Eras concert, this concert film will allow all Swifties to experience the Eras Tour in a new, exciting way.
“I feel it’s going to be a great experience even on screen because of the fans. The fact that they make bracelets, how generous and sweet and caring they are. We genuinely just want to be there to sing the songs together. It’s really cool,” said wellness counselor and longtime Swiftie Pia Crosby.
She added, “So, to bring it onto the screen in the movie theater where people can enjoy the same thing, and it’s accessible to everyone, and still dress up and exchange bracelets, I think it’s going to be a wonderful experience.”
After Swift introduced her surprise Eras Tour Concert Film on Aug. 31, countless tickets were snatched by Swifties by the first week, surpassing major Marvel and DC titles.
Sidney Hansen ’27 remarked, “I went to the Eras Tour in Los Angeles, California on Aug. 8. It was a very life-changing experience and I really loved going to the concert.” Hansen added, “She has a unique sense of genres for songs.”
The Eras Tour begins with two openers, takes fans through 10 eras in 44 songs from a few different albums, and includes her show two additional surprise songs each night she performs.
Walking 2 miles and performing for over 3 hours, her show was so creative and innovative that Variety Magazine called it “a once in a lifetime phenomenon.”
Swift gave $500,000 to each of her dancers, truck merchandise vendors, supervisors, backup singers, band, and maintenance crew for being a part of the tour.
Fiona Mulderig ’25 explained, “Taylor Swift really has a song for every genre and every situation. […] The lyricism and care in her albums is really tangible, but a lot of people have only ever heard her radio hits.”
Although this tour will only be on the big screen for a month, it is still undoubtedly one of the most monumental events in modern entertainment history and will forever alter Swifties’ lives.
