Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is one of the most highly awaited concert tours of the past few years. It starts on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, and features 52 performances in five months, concluding with two at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on August 4th and 5th. The Eras Tour will be a full setlist where Taylor performs songs from all 10 studio albums, which is why the show’s name refers to different eras of her music.
Audiences have been waiting on the edge of their seats should the Eras Tour be shot and converted into a concert film. Taylor has a record of recording her performances; she began the 2018 Reputation Stadium tour, which finally became a Netflix concert film in 2019. The most recent one was her Reputation Tour, which last year was presented on Disney+ and followed concert film style.
Swifties, among other fans, are thus understandably eager for any developments on the Eras Tour concert film. The good news is at least we have hope it will happen! Taylor said on November 13, 2022, during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, that the Eras Tour will be filmed for a movie. Taylor herself said that the main thing fans were waiting for: was that there would be an Eras Tour movie; she did not disclose more about the release, including which streaming platform may purchase it or exactly when exactly it would be published.
Examining her pattern of releasing performance videos, around one year after the tour dates, one would conclude that the Eras Tour concert film falls in mid-2024. Four years after the actual tour which started in May 2018 and concluded in November of the same year, her two most recent concert movie releases were Reputation Tour, which Netflix released in December 2021. Released four years later, her 2022 Disney+ movie was based on her 2018 Reputation Tour.
Eras Tour is set to wrap up in August 2023, so if Taylor sticks to tradition, then Spring to mid-2024 should be the date for the Eras Tour concert film. Another clue is the fact that she has rerecorded her first six albums to be used in the concert film without rights issues, and with her mindful rerecording release schedule, the last two Taylor’s Version – Speak Now and 1989 Taylor’s Versions are expected to be released sometime in 2023 as well. And, therefore, having the concert film out in 2024 would be in sync with the final project of the re-recordings.
Regarding which streaming platform will get the rights to the concert movie, now Taylor is friends with Amazon Studios and Disney so either will be the likely choice. Coming off her Emmy win for All Too Well: The Prime Video’s exclusive short Film and her two Disney + concert film/ music documentaries (folklore: Long Pond sessions, Reputation Tour) look like front runners. With that, she does also have a dedicated artist page on Hulu now as well, after becoming their most streamed artist in a single day, so Hulu joining the party is also very much plausible. Netflix hosted the Reputation Tour concert film, so she might prefer to grant the Eras Tour movie release to a different streaming service rather than overlapping.
Wherever it may be, fans or Swifties can be confident enough that the hundreds of hours of epic entertainment gold that will be derived from Taylor Swift’s record-breaking 2023 Eras Tour will be captured and etched in what is bound to be yet another spectacular concert film. While we may have to wait about a year for the official movie release after the Eras Tour, that would seem like a blink of an eye. After waiting years between tours, what is one more year when Swifties around the world know they have a complete career-spanning Taylor Swift concert film experience to eagerly await in 2024! The only question that arises here is which streaming platform will have the air rights to the Eras Tour concert movie – count on either Prime Video, Disney+ or perhaps some other completely unexpected streaming platform acquiring the rights instead of the two frontrunners. Wherever it may be, Swifties will rush to get there just to enjoy their Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert all over again!
