Taylor Swift delighted fans on Monday with the announcement that her highly anticipated Eras Tour film would be available for streaming on her birthday, December 13. The singer-songwriter, fresh off the final 2023 tour date in Brazil, shared the news on her social media, revealing an extended version with bonus songs.
In a heartfelt message to her followers, Swift expressed her excitement, stating, “I have a birthday coming up, and I thought a fun way to celebrate our journey this year would be to make The Eras Tour Concert Film available for you to watch at home!” The extended edition will include performances of Wildest Dreams, The Archer, and Long Live, offering fans an even more immersive experience.
The announcement came after fans eagerly awaited news at the Brazil shows, even chanting for details about a potential release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version). Despite no fresh album news, the streaming release of the Eras Tour film is sure to bring joy to Swifties during the holiday season.
While Swift has not disclosed the international territories for the streaming release, the current tour has primarily covered the Americas. With plans for more tour dates in various countries throughout 2024, fans worldwide are hopeful for a chance to relive the magic of the Eras Tour.
The initial theatrical release in October faced criticism from fans who noticed the omission of certain songs from the setlist. However, with the upcoming streaming release, Swift aims to address this, although it won’t include every song performed during the tour.
Swift’s dominance extends beyond the tour, with the film grossing a staggering $178 million in the United States as of the past weekend, setting a new record for concert films. The 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album, part of her ongoing re-recordings series, made waves with the best first-week numbers of her career—1.6 million album-equivalent units, the highest in eight years. Notably, Swift achieved back-to-back No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with Cruel Summer and Is It Over Now?, showcasing her enduring popularity.
With the Eras Tour film set to continue its success on streaming platforms, Taylor Swift proves once again that she remains an unstoppable force in the music industry, captivating audiences worldwide.
