Taylor Swift is bringing her “Eras Tour” to a theater near you this October, singer declared in an Instagram post Thursday morning.
“The Eras tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far, and I’m so excited to tell you that it’s coming to the big screen soon,” the “Anti-Hero” singer wrote. On Oct. 13, “The Concert Movie” hits theaters in North America — and tickets are already on sale.
“Eras costumes, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing are encouraged,” Swift added, before quoting a special line from her famous “Reputation”-era song “Delicate,” which has become a routine at every “Eras” performance.
Her announcement was accompanied by a trailer for a concert film taken during her tour’s domestic leg earlier this month, during her six-night stay at Sophie Stadium in Los Angeles.
“Taylor Swift: The Era’s Tour Concert Film” will play in AMC theaters on their IMAX screens, and will run at least four showtimes per day on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Press release. The film will also screen at Regal and Cinemark theatres.
The film runs for two hours and 45 minutes and was directed by Sam Wrench, who is known for directing other major live events and concert documentaries for artists such as Billie Eilish, Lizzo and Jennifer Lopez’s “Halftime” Netflix Talk.
When tickets for the “Eras” tour first went on sale in the fall, Ticketmaster crashed due to the volume of ticket buyers. To avoid this, AMC noted in its press release that it has “upgraded its website and ticket machines” to handle the influx of theater chains.
“Not only did it shatter all concert sales records, but it left tens of thousands of fans wanting more, who either attended the concert and wanted to see it again, or couldn’t get tickets to sold-out show after sold-out show. Performance after sold-out performance,” the AMC announcement said.
Swift has been on her record-breaking “Eras” tour, her first tour since 2018, since March. Along the way, he is credited with boosting local economies in America and is on track to become the highest-grossing tour of all time. The “Eras” tour concert film may be a welcome announcement for the cinema industry, which is struggling due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The “Empty Space” singer is on the international leg of her “Eras” tour, next heading to Argentina in November.
Tickets for “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Concert Film” are on sale now at AMCtheaters.com.
