Taylor Swift Announces The Eras Tour Film Will Be Available to Stream on Her Birthday: ‘Fun Way to Celebrate’

T.Brown3 months ago
Taylor Swift is bringing her record-breaking Eras Tour to households across the U.S. and Canada — and, soon, worldwide.

On Monday, Swift, 33, announced on Instagram that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film will be available to stream in just over two weeks. Beginning on her birthday, Dec. 13, fans will have access to one of the year’s most coveted tickets from the comfort of their home.

“Well, so, basically I have a birthday coming up and I was thinking a fun way to celebrate the year we’ve had together would be to make The Eras Tour Concert Film available for you to watch at home!” she wrote on Instagram alongside a clip of her performing “Wildest Dreams” from 1989 (Taylor’s Version) onstage in the film.

The version available to rent on demand, she shared, will include some of the setlist that was cut when the film hit theaters worldwide beginning in October. While the Eras Tour’s actual runtime is over 3 hours and 15 minutes, the concert movie ran just 2 hours and 45 minutes, so several fan-favorite tracks didn’t make the final cut . For the digital release, though, Swift is including some of them.

She continued on Instagram, “Very happy to be able to tell you that the extended version of the film including ‘Wildest Dreams,’ ‘The Archer’ and ‘Long Live’ will be available to rent on demand in the US, Canada & additional countries to be announced soon starting on ... you guessed it, December 13 .”

The “Anti-Hero” singer’s announcement came just hours after she concluded her final show of the year in São Paulo, Brazil.

She had a few special guests in the audience as she performed her career-spanning setlist on Sunday night as the family of her late fan, Ana Clara Benevides Machado, was in attendance .

Benevides Machado died before attending Swift’s show in Rio de Janeiro earlier this month, so Swift invited her loved ones — including her father, Weiny Machado — to her final Brazil tour stop in São Paulo, a source close to Swift confirmed to PEOPLE.

The 23-year-old fan died on Nov. 17 ahead of Swift’s concert at Estadio Nilton Santos. She felt unwell at the Rio venue, and was attended to by first responders before being transferred to a nearby hospital, where she died, event organizer Time for Fun announced on X (formerly Twitter).

Her loved ones wore matching shirts with Benevides Machado’s face on them during the show, which they watched from what appeared to be a VIP tent . Before the show they met Swift , according to fans.

Since The Eras Tour concert film premiered in theaters on Oct. 13, Swift has been overwhelmed by the response. Within the first two weeks of its release, it broke records for first-day ticket sales and grossed more than $200 million at the global box office .

She reflected on the success of the film on Instagram , writing, “What a truly mind blowing thing you’ve turned The Eras Tour Concert Film into.”

The singer continued, “I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theaters dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged, and just generally creating the exact type of joyful chaos we’re known for .”
