After months of waiting, we can finally enjoy the highlight of Taylor Swift’s career in its entirety in the home theater. The concert film The Eras Tour is coming to Disney+ in an extra-long version.
Taylor Swift is not only a star on stage. She recently revealed herself as the unexpected savior of autumn 2023 cinema. After many studios postponed their major films – most notably Dune: Part Two – until next year, Swift filled the gaping hole with a concert film that turned out to be a box office high-flyer.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour grossed over 260 million US dollars worldwide, making it the most successful concert film in history. The film also caused a stir with its revolutionary release. Swift bypassed the Hollywood studios and released The Eras Tour in direct collaboration with the cinemas.
