She’s even released a snippet of her performing one of the three songs added to the film’s extended version.
The curtain hasn’t fallen on The Eras Tour film era just yet. In a surprise announcement on Monday, global pop sensation Taylor Swift declared that the film would soon be available for on-demand viewing, unlocking a new dimension to the concert experience for her fans.
“Hi! 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!” Taylor shared in an Instagram post alongside a video of her captivating performance of “Wildest Dreams” during the tour.
As the Swiftie community eagerly anticipates her 34th birthday on December 13, in the spirit of celebration, Taylor Swift disclosed that an extended version of The Eras Tour film would feature three additional performances not included in the theatrical release.
“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 🫶💋,” she continued.
The exclusivity of these three songs in the extended cut has sparked excitement among fans. Notably absent from the theatrical version, “Wildest Dreams,” “The Archer,” and “Long Live” were handpicked by Taylor to enhance the viewer’s experience of The Eras Tour film.
“Wildest Dreams” and “The Archer” were well-received highlights of the Eras Tour setlist. Additionally, “Long Live” made a special appearance in July following the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), as the song originally debuted on the Speak Now album.
Taylor’s theatrical triumph continues to echo across headlines. According to the New York Times, The Eras Tour film achieved the biggest opening weekend for a concert film ever when it premiered last month, grossing between $95 million and $97 million in North American ticket sales over its three-day debut. This shattered the previous record set by Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never concert film in 2011, which reported a three-day North American opening weekend revenue of $41 million.
Further adding to its success, People magazine reported on October 30 that Taylor Swift’s concert film had soared past the $200 million mark in global box office sales.
Taylor’s global reign on stage is far from over. The songstress, who recently concluded a triumphant series of shows in South America, is set to return to the stage in February for performances in Japan. With tour dates scheduled until December of next year, fans worldwide can continue to revel in the spectacle that is The Eras Tour.
As anticipation builds for the on-demand release on December 13, Swifties around the world are eagerly counting down the days to witness the extended version of The Eras Tour film, where Taylor Swift’s magic comes alive through not only the familiar hits but also the enchanting addition of “Wildest Dreams,” “The Archer,” and “Long Live.”
