Taylor Swift 's The Eras Tour Film  has achieved a remarkable milestone for both the music and film industries by earning a prestigious nomination for the 81st  Golden Globe Awards  in the category of Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement.

The Eras Tour is nominated alongside fellow 2023 box office winners Barbie , Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 , John Wick: Chapter 4 , Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One , Oppenheimer , Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Previously, Swift was nominated in the Best Original Song, Motion Picture category on four occasions: in 2013 for The Hunger Games ' "Safe and Sound," in 2014 for One Chance 's "Sweeter Than Fiction," in 2020 for Cats ' "Beautiful Ghosts" and in 2023 for Where the Crawdads Sing 's "Carolina."

The announcement comes on the heels of the tour's unparalleled success, setting the record for the highest-grossing concert film ever , making over $1 billion. 

Swift, who is currently on a break from her Eras Tour, surprised fans at the end of August with news of a concert film capturing the magic of the tour's live performances. The film initially hit theaters, offering supporters a cinematic experience of Swift's electrifying stage presence and visually stunning production.

As a special birthday treat to her devoted fanbase, Swift took to Instagram to share her plans for a wider audience to enjoy The Eras Tour concert film. Ahead of her Dec. 13 birthday, she shared, "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!"

The announcement was met with widespread excitement from fans who had witnessed the tour in theaters and those eager to experience it for the first time. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will be available to rent on various platforms, including Apple TV+ and Prime Video, providing fans with the flexibility to enjoy the spectacle in the comfort of their own homes.

While the rental price is yet to be disclosed, Swift revealed an enticing detail that is sure to enthrall fans even more. The extended version of the film, featuring three new songs, is set to debut along with the at-home release. According to Swift's post, fans can anticipate hearing "Wildest Dreams," "The Archer," and "Long Live" in this extended cut.

Swift expressed her excitement about the extended version, stating, "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, Dec. 13💋."

Although her film is nominated for a Golden Globe, don't expect to see a Swift - Beyoncé showdown at the Academy Awards, as it seems neither performer's concert documentary is eligible to be considered for an Oscar nomination. 

While both projects took the box office by storm, Variety reported that neither can compete for an Academy Award nomination for documentary feature, or any technical category, under the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' current guidelines.

Beyond that, neither Eras nor Renaissance was submitted for consideration by the Oct. 2 deadline.

The 81st Golden Globe Awards will be presented live Sunday, Jan. 7 starting at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming live on Paramount+.

Swift's Golden Globes nomination aligns seamlessly with the much-anticipated face-off between the Los Angeles Rams and Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs in LA on the day of the awards ceremony.

A year of the Eras Tour: A look back at Taylor Swift's record-breaking show

One year ago, the crowd in Glendale, Arizona, erupted into a massive cheer in State Farm Stadium when Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" began playing and the backdrop screen transitioned to a countdown clock starting at 2:24.

None of the Swifties who traveled from all over the state of Arizona and the nation, dressed to the nines as one of her 10 eras, knew the tour would be three-plus hours. The fan screaming next to me from Pennsylvania who bought a ticket on StubHub.com for about $400 didn't know that we would go era-by-era through a 44-song track list. I don't think the singer, herself, knew when she hid inside a cleaning cart wheeled backstage, that her show would lead to a billion-dollar enterprise, Time magazine person of the year and an inundation of friendship bracelets. I didn't know the behemoth success following the Eras Tour star would send me packing from Phoenix to Nashville, Tennessee, to become the inaugural Taylor Swift reporter.

Swift's dancers flowed onto the stage through fog with pink, purple and orange parachute flaps. A compilation of songs from Swift's 10 albums — or eras — played as "it's been a long time coming" boomed into the stadium. Goosebumps covered the arms of thousands and tears cascaded down cheeks as the flaps revealed Miss Americana rising to begin her "Lover" set.

Eighty three shows later, here's a look back at the unprecedented tour that set a Guinness World Record . And fair warning, like her tour this article is an extensive rollercoaster.

Swept up in the hype, the world became Taylor Nation. Glendale, "Erazona ," was renamed "Swift City." Las Vegas lit up its arches in all 10 era colors. Arlington, Texas, dubbed one of its streets "Taylor Swift Way." Tampa, Florida, gave Swift a key to the city and invited her to be an honorary mayor. Houston renamed its venue "NRG Stadium (Taylor’s Version)."

Nashville, Tennessee, dedicated a bench in Centennial Park to the hometown singer. A Philadelphia radio station, 96.5 FM (WTDY), renamed itself Ninety-Swift-Five W-T-A-Y. Gov. Philip D. Murphy dubbed the "Taylor Swift ham, egg and cheese sandwich" the "state sandwich of New Jersey." Chicago lit up the top of Willis Tower in her album colors. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey renamed his city "Swiftie-apolis," and Santa Clara, California, Mayor Lisa Gillmor switched the city's name to "Swiftie Clara."

Internationally, fans in Brazil caught the attention of Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes and Father Omar, the rector of the Christ the Redeemer Sanctuary, who arranged to project a  "Junior Jewels" inspired T-shirt  onto the Christ the Redeemer statue. Flinders Station in Melbourne , Australia, flashed a wallpaper glaze of lights to welcome the Eras star. Singapore painted the Marina Bay Sands Resort all colors of vibrant lights.

It's a cruel summer with you

All four seasons met the fifteen dancers, four backup singers, six bandmates and hundreds of production and crew members, adding unpredictable weather to the mix. Mother Nature danced in a lightning storm to "Fearless" in Tampa and made the song "Midnight Rain" a reality in Nashville . Rain poured through the open-roofed stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Swift pushed puddles forming on her piano . The Swiftie fandom created its own natural phenomenon in Seattle after a seismologist registered a 2.3 magnitude earthquake on her Richter scale.

The intense heat in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, caused Swift to throw water bottles to fans and temporarily halt her show. Ana Clara Benevides Machado, 23, passed out and died of heat exhaustion. The heartbreaking news prompted changes at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos to allow fans access to water. Swift invited Benevides' family to her concert in São Paulo.

I want you to think of the memories made

Swift incorporated custom messages into each tour stop. At her international destinations, she welcomed fans in their custom languages. "Bienvenidos al Eras Tour," she said in Mexico City before hoisting her hands in the air. While donning either her pink or blue guitar before the title track of "Lover," she commonly announced the stadium attendance often record-breaking.

Outside of stadiums, thousands "Taylorgated," or showed up without a ticket to hear Swift's beats and dance on the concrete. Tens of thousands more logged on to watch livestreams from fans with tickets who agreed to spend concert time holding up their mobile devices in a tricep-burning position.

The number of viewers would jump before the "Champagne Problems" speech and acoustic set. To keep things fun and interesting each night, fans filled out "Swiftball" ballots guessing the singer's outfits from four "Lover" bodysuits and accompanying "The Man" jackets, three "Fearless" dresses, two "Evermore" dresses, six "Speak Now" gowns, three bedazzled "22" shirts, five "Folkore" dresses, four "1989" crop top and skirt combos, six "Midnights" T-shirt dresses, three "Midnight Rain" body suits and four "Karma" faux fur jackets. To see how many times the Eras star wore each outfit, check out the "Data Swiftie."

For fans who wanted to get alerts to watch the shows without having to calculate time changes, Swift Alert became the app for that .

Double clap, audience chants

A secret language formed between fans and Swift as new traditions popped up along the tour. The four lines fans screamed at the top of their lungs, no matter the city or country, were "cause shade never made anybody less gay" in "You Need To Calm Down," "what a shame she's f----d in the head" in "Champagne Problems," "f--- the patriarchy" in "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" and "don't call me kid, don't call me baby" in "Illicit Affairs."

Swift started every show strong with a very important question: Did her fans know the bridge to "Cruel Summer?" "Prove it!" she'd yell at some stops and the audience would, every single time, bellow, "I'm drunk in the back of the car." For "The Archer," fans printed and dispersed signs that read, "We will stay," to hold up when Swift asks, "Who would stay?"

In the "Fearless" era, fans double clapped with "13" drawn on the back of their hands in the middle of the bridge to "You Belong With Me." A trend of marriage proposals during "Love Story" picked up during the 2024 leg with partners popping the question as Swift sang, "He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring."

During "Marjorie," Swifties turned their phone flashlights on in tribute to Swift's grandma. Fans started timing the standing ovation and ear-shattering applause after "Champagne Problems." Livestreamers, like Tess Bohne , would display a clock and fans guessed if the cheers would surpass one, two or three minutes.

A snake shape slithered through the light-up braceklets handed out before the show at the start of the "Reputation" era. Fans yelled "1, 2, 3, let's go b----" before the first verse of "Delicate" as Swift counts on her fingers. Later in the song, Swift sings, "Do the girls back home touch you like I do?" and fans reply, "No, they don't." On rare occasion, Swift would let out a three-note riff during her "Don't Blame Me" belt.

After rereleasing her third album, the "Speak Now" singer added "Long Live" to the set list, bringing the total to 45 tracks. In the first verse when she croons "the crowds and stands went wild," the crowd indeed went wild.

In the "Red" era, Swift crowned a deserving fan with a black fedora during "22." They were typically children, but one adult Swiftie was crowned in Melbourne . Dancer Kameron Saunders had the only speaking line on the tour besides Swift during her song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." He said "like ever" at the American shows, but when the tour went international, he switched up the phrase each night. And yes, we track that. Swift knew all too well each crowd had "10 minutes to spare," and she played her longest song, in total, for about 14 hours.

She was only tied to the "Invisible String" for five shows and traded the opening "Folklore" era number to "The 1" in Arlington, before news of her split from actor Joe Alwyn . She brought "Invisible String" back for one night in Nashville because the Tennessee capital is home to Centennial Park. Nashvillians also noticed that Swift switched a note during "The 1" lyric "you meet a woman on the internet and take her home." She kept the key change for every succeeding show.

Right before the first lyric of "Style" during the "1989" set, fans began a tradition of saying, "What time is it?" to which the singer replied, "Midnight, you come and pick me up." In Sydney, Australia, a "Blank Space" chant from the 1989 World Tour was reborn and repeated in Singapore. Taylor Nation, Swift's marketing team, tweeted that it hopes fans at every tour stop going forward shout their city. In Philadelphia, a "Bad Blood" remix originated when Swift noticed a security guard hassling a fan . "She's fine. She wasn't doing anything. Hey! Stop! Hey, stop!" became the cool thing to say after, "It's so sad to think about the good times, you and I." Fans also incorporated a Kendrick Lamar line from the "Bad Blood" remix: "You forgive, you forget, but you never let it go."

And then came the surprise set . (More on her collaborators and announcements below.) Each night, Swift performed one song on the guitar and one on the piano that she hadn't yet performed on the tour. That is until 2024, when she added mashups and threw out her rule of never repeating songs. At the end of the set, she swan dives into a hole in the stage. Fans later caught a red light that turned green to signal it was safe to jump.

After meeting her at "Midnights," fans sang Jack Antonoff's version of "Anti-Hero." When Swift sings "tale as old as time," the crowd chimes in, "Taylor, you'll be fine." Tyler Conroy made a viral video of him screaming , "Where you going Taylor?" during "Bejeweled" before she sings, "I'm going out tonight," and the trend caught on like a blaze ripping through the Lover house. Finally, after Swift changed the lyrics to, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs," in Argentina with her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the crowd, that became the standard for fans. She has only sang it that way four times, when he was in attendance in Buenos Aires, Sydney and Singapore.

If you would direct your attention to the back screen

In addition to boosting economies everywhere she went, Swift created an abundance of news. She announced "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" in Nashville. She announced a new version of "Midnights" and premiered the "Karma (Remix)" music video featuring Ice Spice as the upstart rapper joined Swift in East Rutherford, New Jersey. She released "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" right before her Kansas City, Missouri, stop and then debuted the "I Can See You" music video starring Taylor Lautner and Joey King who were at the show. Lautner backflipped on the catwalk.

It might have seemed strange that Swift ended the American leg of her tour on a Wednesday in Los Angeles, but not to the eagle-eyed Swiftie who realized the date was 8/9. That's the day she announced the rerecording of her fifth album, "1989 (Taylor's Version)." The album came out during her break before her Argentina tour dates. It topped the Billboard charts and allowed her to bypass Elvis for the most weeks with an album at No. 1.

Then, she announced her 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department," at the Grammys after winning her 13th career award. At her tour stops in Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore, she revealed there were four total versions of "Tortured Poets" and told fans they would get a different bonus track on each one : "The Manuscript," "The Bolter," "The Albatross" and "The Black Dog."

Welcome to the acoustic set

One of the most anticipated portions of an Eras Tour show is the acoustic set. At most of the concerts, she only spoke before the guitar song. In rare instances, she tested the microphone before the piano song and made an announcement.

Occasionally she invited collaborators to join her onstage. Marcus Mumford surprised fans in Las Vegas to play "Cowboy Like Me." Her co-producer and close friend Aaron Dessner from The National joined her six times on stage, in Tampa (twice), Nashville, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Santa Clara. Jack Antonoff came out to play "Getaway Car" in New Jersey. Maren Morris did a "You All Over Me" duet in Chicago. When their opening acts were canceled for weather, Gracie Abrams performed "I Miss You, I'm Sorry" and Sabrina Carpenter sang a dyad mashup of "White Horse" and "Coney Island."

Some of the surprise songs came with hidden messages. Fans speculated she sang "Bigger Than The Whole Sky" as an ode to a fan who died , "End Game" to Travis Kelce watching her show from the VIP tent and "Gold Rush" as a congratulations to Jason Kelce for retiring. She has performed "You're On Your Own Kid" five times, in Tampa, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Tokyo and Singapore.

And he never thinks of me, except when I'm on TV

To close out the first year of the Eras Tour, Swift released the third film version of her concert to streaming service Disney+. This version included "Cardigan" and four acoustic songs: "Maroon," "Death By A Thousand Cuts," "You Are In Love" and "I Can See You."

The second version came out on Swift's birthday, Dec. 13. Fans could rent it for 48 hours at a price of $19.89, and it included "The Archer," "Wildest Dreams" and "Long Live" cut from the original movie.

The original movie was released Oct. 13, in the middle of the Hollywood strikes. Swift did what studios and streaming services were unable to: make a deal with SAG-AFTRA. She worked with the unions and was able to market and show her movie how she saw fit. The film made more than $250 million globally and got her nominated for a Golden Globe award .

Would you be interested in one more song?

If you're still with me on this walk down Eras Tour Lane, it's important to make one final note before the tour resumes in Paris in May. Before her magnum opus took off higher than the "Bad Blood" flames, Swift chose "Mirrorball" and "Tim McGraw" to be her very first surprise songs. She ended year one with the same two songs, but flipped the instruments she played them on in a full-circle moment.

Her new album will come out April 19 and the full Eras Tour is streaming on Disney+, which begs the question: What her show will look like come Paris? She has a two-month break before 69 shows scheduled for Europe and North America. She also has two rerecords left to release: "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" and her self-titled debut album.

If there's one thing any Swiftie knows, it's Taylor Swift's ability to make news and create lasting memories through her record-shattering tour. What a first year; on to year two!

Is Taylor Swift’s VIP Eras Tour Package Worth It? A Breakdown

The most expensive package is $899 — before tax and fees!

Raise your hand if you also blacked out while trying to get tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras tour , because it was a trying time for every Swiftie out there. Not only was Ticketmaster’s virtual queue a mess, but once you finally got through it, you were also faced with one of the most stressful steps of the process: trying to actually secure your ticket. With tickets being snatched up left and right, you may have just bought whatever was available at the time. If that was a VIP ticket, you might be wondering now, is Taylor Swift’s VIP Eras tour package worth it? Let’s break it down.

First of all, VIP packages are nothing new for a Taylor Swift tour. For many artists, VIP packages include a meet and greet and merch, along with some of the best seats in the venue for the show. However, fans know that Swift is one of the few artists who doesn’t offer paid meet and greets . Since meeting Swift is not part of the package, it’s fair to wonder what could be worth hundreds of dollars — which is how much these VIP packages go for.

I was lucky enough to receive a VIP package to Swift’s Reputation tour for Christmas in 2017. Since it was a present, I didn’t personally spend the money on the package, but my sister made it very clear she didn’t think it was worth the splurge. Now that the Eras tour VIP packages are starting to arrive in the mail, Swifties are on the fence about whether they’re worth their price as well. If you had to determine if they fall under the cop or drop category, some may lean towards drop and regret. However, Jordan Walker ( @fairytaleswift ) — who was at one of the Glendale Eras Tour shows — told Elite Daily it was “so worth it.”

How Much Are Taylor Swift VIP Tickets For The Eras Tour?

Before you can even consider whether or not Taylor Swift VIP tickets are worth it for you, it helps to determine if they’re even in your budget. According to Variety , the VIP packages for The Eras Tour range from $199 to $899. Here is a breakdown of each Eras Tour VIP tier and its price:

• “It's A Love Story Package” — $199
• “...ready for it Package” — $449
• “I Remember It All Too Well Package” — $559
• “Karma Is My Boyfriend Package” — $749
• “It's Been A Long Time Coming Package” — $899

That’s actually not that bad compared to the Reputation tour. For that, Ticket Crusader reports that VIP packages ranged from $495 to $895 and my sister and I had the $495 tickets — aka the “Kingdom Keys Package.” Walker ended up getting the second-highest “Karma Is My Boyfriend Package” for both her and her mom.

Seats & Merch For Taylor Swift VIP Packages For The Eras Tour

All Eras Tour VIP packages get the same exact merch whether you’re paying $199 or $899. Let’s compare what I got for the Reputation tour versus what’s in the Eras Tour merch package. I received the following:

• A seat in the lower bowl section of the stadium
• A collectible box with an exclusive video message from Swift built in
• A Reputation book with exclusive photos and poetry from Swift
• An LED VIP tour laminate to wear to the show
• A commemorative ticket with a display case
• A reputation stadium tour patch
• A copy of the Reputation CD

The Eras Tour merch includes:

• A reserved seat
• A special edition set of four Swift prints, and each set “contains a hand-numbered print designed specifically for your show and city”
• A commemorative Eras Tour VIP tote bag
• A collectible Taylor Swift pin
• A collectible Taylor Swift sticker
• A collectible Taylor Swift postcard set
• A souvenir concert ticket

Comparing the two tours, the merch inside each box is pretty much the same. Similar to the three Reputation tour packages, the only thing that separates the five different Eras Tour tiers is where your seat is located. The two most expensive packages — Karma Is My Boyfriend Package and It's Been A Long Time Coming Package — are on the floor and come with additional perks. Those, according to Walker, were “separate merch stands, along with early entrance, and access to seats a bit before non-VIP.” The VIP merch booths were supposed to be crowd-free, but Walker told Elite Daily the lines were still long and she had to wait about 40 minutes in total. That includes going to different merch stands to find items that were sold out at others.

Another VIP Swiftie with floor seats, Izzy Mendoza ( @izzy618 ), told Elite Daily they only had to wait about 20-30 minutes. While there is no exclusive VIP merch at these special booths, you may be able to avoid extremely long lines by going to them instead of the general ones. That may make the price of the ticket worth it if saving some time before the show is important to you.

You just have to justify whether spending close to $1000 per ticket, which is around what the floor tickets cost with all of Ticketmaster’s fees and taxes, is reasonable for shorter lines. Since I’m someone who just recently realized there was a Reputation book at the bottom of my VIP package box , I’m clearly in it for the seats rather than the merch.

What’s The View From VIP Taylor Swift Tickets?

You would expect the Eras Tour VIP package seats to be some of the best in the house, but where you’re located — especially on the floor — can make a huge difference. For anyone who is VIP with floor tickets, you better hope you’re not standing behind someone taller than you. Something you also don’t think about until you’re there is that everyone is trying to capture the best video to post on TikTok. “Always remind yourself that people love to put their phone up high to record,” Mendoza warned.

Hats are another thing you don’t expect to have to deal with, but remember a lot of people are going to use the Eras Tour as a chance to dress like they just got invited to the Met Gala. As much as you’ll love seeing someone dressed up as a willow tree before the show, sitting behind them won’t be as pleasant.

Both Walker and Mendoza mentioned there were parts of the show they couldn’t see from the floor. Walker didn’t mind, though, and shared that Swift “was so close most of the night.” When she wasn’t, the screens in the stadium allowed them to see everything else.

TikToker @bickybui also mentioned not being able to see the cool lighting and effects that happen on the stage from the floor, which can only be seen from above. Mendoza said that while this was their second time on the floor, sitting on the first tier of the stadium is better if you want to “see every detail of the show.” The Eras Tour has some intricate sets you may have to watch back on TikTok later if you can’t see them IRL.

Are Taylor Swift’s VIP Eras Tour Packages Worth It?

Ultimately, I don’t think anyone should have to spend close to $1000 to see a concert. The idea of collectible merch is exciting, but as some fans have pointed out, the Eras VIP merch is nothing to write home about. TikToker @louissuspenders was the first to share the Eras tour VIP package on TikTok, which many fans were disappointed in seeing. It looks like everything mentioned was included, like the pin, postcards, prints, and tote bag. However, the box itself doesn’t appear to be as high quality as previous ones.

When asked if she thought the VIP merch was worth the $900 price tag, Walker said, “Not necessarily, but I love what was sent.” Putting things into perspective, Walker revealed that it was her first experience with the package, saying, “I was happy to get the chance to even be VIP.”

Walker, who had the second most expensive package, said, “I truly think it was so worth it. It was an incredible experience. She did a phenomenal job.” The overall VIP ticket was worth it for both Swifties. According to Mendoza, VIP is something that every Swiftie should be able to experience at least once.

I have to agree that being a VIP for one of Swift’s shows is something every fan should try to check off their Taylor Swift bucket list — if they can. The “if you can” is important. It’s possible to have just as much fun and see more from nosebleed seats that are within your budget as well. Considering Ticketmaster canceled the public sale to Swift’s Eras tour , just having something should be celebrated.

Even from my seat in the last row at SoFi Stadium, I’m going to have the best time shaking it off and cry-singing to “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” as if I’m in the front row. And for anyone who is actually in the front row and managed to snag some VIP tickets, I — and probably many other Swifties — will be watching your concert footage on TikTok after the show.

Taylor Swift's ‘Eras Tour' film has been nominated for a Golden Globe

T here's no doubt that Taylor Swift, Person of the Year, is at the pinnacle of her industry. She's won 12 Grammy Awards and 12 Country Music Association Awards. Multiple MTV Video Music Awards (in the U.S. and Europe). Billboard Music Awards. IHeartRadio. Kids' Choice.

So, having thoroughly conquered the music industry, she's moved on to the movies. The big-screen version of her concert, "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour," is the highest-grossing concert film of all time, netting almost $200 million in three months.

And now that film is up for a 2024 Golden Globe award. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Monday that "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" is nominated in a brand-new category, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

Other films named in the category, like " Barbie " and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," were big hits that scored with fans (and some critics, too).

Cynically, this could be seen as a move on the Globes' part to lure Swift into attending the awards. As Deadline points out , she'll be on a break from her massive world tour when the Globes ceremony airs on Jan. 7.

Her mere presence is enough to ensure her devoted legion of superfans will tune in to catch a glimpse. Will she bring Travis Kelce as her date? Folks will watch to find out.

In any case, this isn't Swift's first Golden Globes nod. She's been nominated four times in the past decade, each time for Best Original Song. Surprisingly, she hasn't won - yet.

6 Ways Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Took Over Movie Theaters

Taylor Swift has conquered stadiums, and now she's moving on to movie theaters. Here's how the superstar's Eras Tour concert film is breaking records and bringing together fans around the world.

It's been a long time coming. From stadiums to silver screens, Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour concert film landed in theaters globally on Oct. 12, sharing the magic of Miss Americana's music through a new medium.

In more than 100 countries and thousands of movie theaters across the world, Swifties flooded to their local movie theaters with popcorn, glitter and excitement galore. The concert film was recorded at three of Swift's six Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium shows in August, magnificently spanning the singer's 10 musical eras in just under three hours.

The 12-time GRAMMY winner's Eras Tour kicked off in Arizona back in March, and Swift has since announced a string of new dates for the tail end of 2023 and throughout 2024 . Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour arrived right in between, marking a celebration for all Swifties, whether they had the chance to witness it in person or are still eagerly waiting to.

This isn't Swift's first venture into cinema. Her reputation Stadium Tour concert film made a splash on Netflix back in 2018, and Swifties later got a special behind-the-scenes look at the star's life in Netflix's 2020 documentary "Miss Americana," which made a limited run in select theaters.

Directed by GRAMMY-nominated director Sam Wrench , Swift's latest film came to fruition from a partnership with AMC Theatres and Cinemark Theatres; as of press time, it's undeclared if the movie will live on any streaming platforms after exiting theaters.

At The Eras Tour film's world premiere at The Grove in Los Angeles, Swift surprised her fans seated for the movie. "We were so happy to do that show every night because of what greeted us, and that was you," the singer shared . "This show was a different level. You are a main character, and I hope you feel that."

As the Eras Tour settles in your local theater this month, take a look at six ways that Taylor Swift's concert film showcases the star's power — both on and off the big screen.

It Intimately Captured Her Discography's Beauty & Breadth

There isn't a word strong enough to capture the fiery anticipation one feels before seeing Taylor Swift take the stage. But Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film comes as close as you can get to that feeling, capturing the mind-blowing Lover opening sequence in all its glory — and every subsequent blissful surprise .

From the show-stopping "Don't Blame Me" to all 10 beautiful minutes of "All Too Well," the film flaunts much more than Swift's natural vocal talent. It offers a close look at everything from her whirling dancers to glimmering costumes, spotlighting her adorable "22" hat giveaway and emotional "tolerate it" performance. It also glows with her bright personality, spotlighting her deep gratitude and sense of humor through speeches amid minutes-long standing ovations.

Though it does cut several songs and some theatrical details for the sake of time, the film thoughtfully renders Swift's magnificent performance with full passion. For the fans who weren't front and center, this movie brings everyone as close as they can get to Swift.

It Shattered Global Box Office Records

Although it landed in theaters a day before Friday the 13th, Swift's latest concert film was struck with good fortune: it broke box office records in just its opening weekend.

Swift announced the film via social media and her "Good Morning America" appearance on Aug. 31. Even though the announcement came less than two months before the film's release, ticket sales totaled a record-breaking $26 million on the first day presales began.

The film continued to shatter records in its opening weekend, totaling about $96 million at the box office in the U.S. and Canada. According to AMC , Swift's movie became the highest grossing concert film domestically for an opening weekend.

Available in more than 8,500 movie theaters in 100 countries, the film also raked in about $32 million in international sales. It broke the record for a concert film's biggest opening internationally, too, topping the $73 million from the opening of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never in 2011.

It Broke Traditional Theater Rules

Before the lights dim in a movie theater, there's at least one on-screen reminder everyone expects: turn off your phone. But for Swift's concert film, this rule was tossed out the window.

"We want you to take selfies and pretend like it's a concert," encouraged Gregory Marcus, ​​Marcus Theatres president. 

Swift shared a similar message to her fans on Instagram : "Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged," she wrote.

And so throughout opening weekend, amphitheaters transformed into temporary music venues. Thrilled Swifties leapt out of their seats as show opener "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince" hummed into the valiant beat of "Cruel Summer." 

Though Swift's films have historically been available only on streaming services, this shift to playing in theaters takes listening parties to a whole new level.

It Made Waves On Social Media

Thanks to the elimination of movie theaters' no-phones rule, the entirety of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film was essentially a three-hour opportunity to take photos and videos. Some of the most chaotic screenings went viral on TikTok, sparking online debates about acceptable behavior at the cinema (despite Swift and theaters encouraging phones, singing, and dancing).

The film also kickstarted the hashtag #TSTheErasTourFilm. Fans who post on Instagram using both hashtags #TSTheErasTourFilm and #TSTheErasTour entered for the chance to be featured in Taylor Nation's official gallery .

Some lucky fans got to meet Swift on the premiere's red carpet, sharing selfies and excitement online. "​​I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE I MET TAYLOR SWIFT, SHE SAID HI, TOOK MY PHONE, AND TOOK A SELFIE 🥹❤️," wrote one fan on Twitter. Others got to watch The Eras Tour film for the first time with Swift herself, and they documented the exhilarating surprise on TikTok.

It Sparked Another Merch Frenzy

Swifties never go out of style, and the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film presented yet another opportunity for fans to hop into their favorite Swift-themed costumes. Whether they were inspired by a lyric, music video, red carpet look, or meme, fans showed up and showed out at movie theaters fashion-wise.

Some fans proudly donned their merchandise, from either The Eras Tour or past tours. Knowing Swifties have a keen eye for merch, certain theaters also sold specialty popcorn buckets and collector cups decorated with the Eras Tour logo.

And of course, it wouldn't be a Swiftie event without friendship bracelets. At screenings across the world, fans exchanged handmade beaded bracelets with symbolic or memorable Swift-related phrases, as many did when The Eras Tour came to their city.

It Provided Access To An Extremely In-Demand Concert

For many fans, trying to buy Eras Tour tickets felt like a roller coaster. As concert prices and frustrations with ticket sale companies spike, live music isn't always readily accessible to everyone, but concert films can serve as the next best thing in the meantime.

Unlike a pricey concert ticket, admission for the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film was only $19.89 for adults and $13.13 for all other age groups, in honor of Swift's upcoming album rerecording of 1989 (Taylor's Version) and 13 being her lucky number.

By releasing her concert film in theaters, Swift created an opportunity for her fans to experience her music live in a new way. Thanks to The Eras Tour film, fans were able not just to watch Swift's show, but experience it in the way she has always envisioned: with friends old and new, relishing in the magic of one of pop's greats.

Get Ready For Taylor Swift's ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Album Release: Everything You Need To Know

As we count down to Taylor Swift's 11th studio album release on April 19, feast on all the morsels GRAMMY.com has gathered about the Queen of Pop's upcoming "tortured poet" era.

The dawn of Taylor Swift 's "tortured poet" era is upon us. The reigning Queen of Pop is set to release her highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department , on Friday, April 19. 

Ever since she announced the new album during the 2024 GRAMMYs — while accepting her lucky 13th GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights —- Swifties have been meticulously analyzing every detail of her existence for clues about the release of The Tortured Poets Department .

Fortunately, Swift has been serving a lot of information to snack on. After revealing the cover art in an Instagram post before accepting her record breaking fourth win for Album Of The Year , she didn't stop the feast. From the full track list to a five-stage breakup playlist — and, of course, all the bonus tracks and special editions — here's all the breadcrumbs GRAMMY.com collected in preparation for The Tortured Poets Department . 

All The Art Is Black And White

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

The cover art for The Tortured Poets Department displays a black-and-white inset photo of Swift in repose on a stack of white pillows, with the album's title in uppercase white letters above her. The photography accompanying the album, including back covers and special editions, captures Swift in reflective solitude: standing before a body of water wearing an oversized white button-up, and in a pensive self-embrace against a stark black backdrop.

The photography for the album was shot by Swift's photographer since 2020, Beth Garrabrant, who also shot the covers of Swift's folklore , evermore , Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), Midnights, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) , 1989 (Taylor's Version) . She's known for using a medium-format film photography that evokes an emotional closeness to her subjects — especially fitting for an album titled The Tortured Poets Department .

The Album Features Two Notable Collaborations

On GRAMMY night, alongside the album announcement, Swift posted the complete track list on her Instagram. The post included a photo of the album's back cover, showing a close-up of Swift with her hand on her forehead, overlaid with the text "I love you, it's ruining my life" in all-caps. 

The 16-track release has been split into four sides and also features collaborations with Post Malone on Side A opener "Fortnight" as well as Florence + The Machine on Side B's "Florida!!!" 

Check out the full track list:

** Side A ** “Fortnight” (feat. Post Malone) “The Tortured Poets Department” “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” “Down Bad”

** Side B ** “So Long, London” “But Daddy I Love Him” “Fresh Out the Slammer” “Florida!!!” (feat. Florence + the Machine)

** Side C ** “Guilty As Sin?” “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” “loml”

** Side D ** “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” “The Alchemy” “Clara Bow”

Bonus Tracks:

“The Manuscript”

“The Black Dog”

"The Albatross"

The Album Title Hints At Another Ex 

Mere moments after Swift dropped The Tortured Poets Department album name, the internet was ablaze with viral speculation that the title is derived from a play on ex Joe Alwyn's group chat, "The Tortured Man Club" with Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. 

Alwyn and Mescal revealed their "club name" during an interview with Variety in December 2022 and it didn't take long for fans to connect the dots. Upon unearthing the tie-in, Swifties rushed to share memes and comment on the original interview across various social channels.

There Are Three Bonus Tracks (So Far)

Swift has revealed at least three bonus tracks for different editions of the album, each marked with its own "file name." The initial track list release, referred to as "The Manuscript," includes a bonus track sharing this name.  

On Feb. 23, Swift posted a slideshow on Instagram to promote a special edition named "The Albatross." It featured the bonus tracks and revealed the back cover, which presented a track list alongside a contemplative close-up of Swift overlaid with the question, " Am I allowed to cry?" 

Then, on March 3, she introduced the bonus track “The Black Dog” through a similar post that showcased new cover art, with the album's reverse side portraying Swift and the haunting text, "Old habits die screaming." 

Lyrics Have Already Been Shared

Unlike her previous album campaigns, Swift hasn't unveiled any music ahead of The Tortured Poets Department ’s release — but she has dropped plenty of hints at the subject matter to come. Handwritten lyrics first appeared in the album announcement post, in a stack of papers inside a folder tabbed with a monogram of the album's name.

"And so I enter into evidence/ My tarnished coat of arms/ My muses, acquired like bruises/ My talismans and charms/ The tick, tick, tick of love bombs/ My veins of pitch black ink," is written above the sign-off, "All's fair in love and poetry… Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department."

Then, in an Instagram story posted on April 8 — the date of the total solar eclipse — Swift shared an image of a typewriter loaded with a sheet of paper stamped with the words, "Crowd goes wild at her fingertips/ Half moonshine, Full eclipse." 

Swift Created Five Playlists To Mirror The Stages Of A Breakup

Gearing up for the release, Swift dropped a 5-part playlist series on Apple Music on April 5 featuring previously released work arranged in playlists that reflect the five stages of grief. The playlist for "Denial: I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life Songs," features hits including Midnight 's "Lavender Haze," and Lover 's "Cruel Summer" and "False God." 

The other playlists run through the emotional gamut with titles like "Anger: You Don’t Get to Tell Me About Sad Songs," the midpoint "Bargaining: Am I Allowed to Cry? Songs," "Depression: Old Habits Die Screaming Songs," and finally "Acceptance: I Can Do It With a Broken Heart Songs." Each one takes listeners on a Taylor Swift escapade through love won and lost, representing what many believe to be a musical voyage through Swift's stages of grief following the end of her relationship with ex Joe Alwyn. 

Each playlist also includes a description from Swift. For "Denial," it says, "This is a list of songs about getting so caught up in the idea of something that you have a hard time seeing the red flags, possibly resulting in moments of denial and maybe a little bit of delusion. Results may vary.”

As April 19 nears closer, take a deep dive into everything Swift has unleashed so far — and get ready for a lot more divulging once The Tortured Poets Department arrives.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER - minisode 3: TOMORROW 

Release date: April 1

Luckily, fans of the K-pop quintet TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) rarely have to wait for new music. Six months after releasing their third studio album, The Name Chapter: Freefall , the group is gearing up to release minisode 3: TOMORROW .

The seven-song EP is fronted by upcoming lead single "Deja Vu," which is said to mix trap, rage, and emo rock into their signature emotional intensity, as per a press release. The other tracks continue to expand the group’s versatility, experimenting with pop rock, house, and acoustic guitars. 

As usual, the concept of the album is connected to TXT’s overarching lore, and features several references to their past works — track "- --- -- --- ·-· ·-· --- ·–," for example, evokes their debut era where Morse Code was used in teasers and in the single "Crown."

TXT will embark on their Act: Promise World Tour starting May 3-5 in Seoul, South Korea, and then head to the U.S. for 11 shows across the country, including two dates at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Conan Gray - Found Heaven

Release date: April 5

Gen Z popstar Conan Gray has Found Heaven . After 2022’s Superache , his upcoming third album was co-produced by legendaries Max Martin , Greg Kurstin , and Shawn Everett , among others.

Gray had been teasing the 13-track record since last year with a slew of buoyant, '80s-tinged singles ( "Never Ending Song," "Killing Me" and "Lonely Dancers") and poignant, Elton John -esque ballads ( "Winner," "Alley Rose" ). "When I was making the album, I was really obsessively listening to music of that era," he explained to NME . "I think also, because it was a deeply emotional time, I was almost hiding from reality. I didn’t listen to a song from the 2020s during the making of this album."

To celebrate this new, holy era, Gray will be touring Australia in July, North America in September and October, and Europe and the UK in November. "I want people to know that I was having fun and goofing around, and I want you to smile and I want you to feel like you can just be yourself," he added. "I just want the album to be a reminder to people that you can be so many things all at once."

Sinkane - We Belong 

Ahmed Gallab, the Sudanese American multi-instrumentalist behind Sinkane, has built his discography resisting musical genres. We Belong , his upcoming eighth studio album, is no different: it combines pop, funk, electronic, afrobeats, disco, and more into "a love letter to Black music," per a press release.

Sinkane’s first album since 2019’s Dépaysé , We Belong features 10 tracks and participations by Bilal, Money Mark, STOUT, and others. Each song tells the story of a different era in Black music and history, laced with love and hope for the future: the disco groove of "Come Together," the gospel choirs of "Everything Is Everything," the funky bassline of "How Sweet is Your Love."

Along with live band the Message, Sinkane has announced a select 10-city tour in the U.S., starting May 3 in New York City and wrapping up on June 9 in Pioneertown, California.

X Ambassadors - Townie

** Pop rock trio X Ambassadors dive deep into nostalgia for Townie , their fourth studio album. The record was inspired by their experience of growing up in the small city of Ithaca, New York, and how it shaped who they are. **

"As a grown man, I’ve fallen back in love with upstate NY, and I oddly feel blessed to have had something to rally so hard against/fight to escape from as a kid," vocalist Sam Harris said in a statement. "No Strings," the first single off the project, is an anthem for that restless feeling, and anchors their concept in a haunting, propulsive melody. "Your Town" and "Half-Life" continue the journey, although taking more melancholy tones.

X Ambassadors first set off their Townie tour in Europe and the UK during February and March. On the day of the release, they will begin the North American leg of the tour in Vancouver, Canada.

Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us 

Five years after releasing their latest record, 2019’s Father of the Bride , indie band Vampire Weekend will drop their fifth studio album, Only God Was Above Us .

According to a press release, frontman Ezra Koenig wrote most of the songs in 2019-2020, and spent the last five years refining them with bandmates Chris Baio and Chris Tomson. The result is a collection of 10 "direct yet complex" tracks, "showing the band at once at its grittiest, and also at its most beautiful and melodic," as seen in singles "CAprilicorn," "Gen-X Cops," and "Classical."

In addition to a sold out performance in Austin, Texas that will coincide with the total eclipse on April 8 and a headline show at Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Vampire Weekend has announced an extensive North American tour throughout summer and fall.

Bryson Tiller - Bryson Tiller

Grab your tickets to Bryson Tiller’s upcoming tour while you can: he might go on a hiatus right after. That’s what the R&B singer and rapper told Complex , alleging that his number one passion is actually video games. "I've been designing a game for the past three years; been looking into internships for different companies. That's what I want to prioritize after this album comes out."

The album Tiller refers to is his eponymous fourth LP, a 19-track collection that includes a feature by Victoria Monét , and is described as "seamlessly blending R&B, dancehall, pop, drill, trapsoul, neo-soul, and hip hop" in a press release. " Bryson Tiller is not just an album; it's a declaration of artistic independence and a tribute to the relentless pursuit of greatness."

The project’s three alluring singles ( "Outside," "Whatever She Wants," and "CALYPSO") exemplify how Tiller pushed the boundaries of R&B even more, and solidified his identity as one of music’s most singular artists. "My No. 1 goal with this album is just for everybody on Earth to hear it one time," Tiller also told Complex. "My guarantee is that they'll love [at least] one song."

Tori Kelly - TORI.

"You think you know who Tori Kelly is, but this album will prove that maybe you didn’t," said the YouTube-star-turned-singer in a NME interview about her fifth studio album, TORI . "I feel like I’m stepping into my power and owning my craft."

Her first LP since 2020’s A Tori Kelly Christmas , TORI. took inspiration from '90s and early aughts R&B and pop, as heard on singles "Missin U" and "Cut." "I was trying to create this world of nostalgia, but also there’s that balance with [ TORI. ] feeling fresh and new," she said. Comprising 15 tracks, it also includes participations by Ayra Starr in "Unbelievable," LE SSERAFIM ’s Kim Chae-won on "Spruce," and Jon Bellion — who co-wrote and produced the album — on "Young Gun."

During the creation process, Kelly told Bellion that her guidelines were to be able to "belt out [songs] in the car" and "dance" to them, like one can do in the powerful "High Water." As far as it goes, it looks like they accomplished their mission.

Kelly will kick off her Purple Skies North American tour on April 12 in Ventura, California, and conclude it on May 3 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Future & Metro Boomin - TBA / We Still Don’t Trust You  

Release date: April 12

Rap titans Future and Metro Boomin have been personal friends and work peers for over a decade, but their first collaborative album is only coming out now. We Don’t Trust You , the first installment of a double album, dropped on March 22, while the second part — titled yet to be announced — is slated to release on April 12.

In We Don’t Trust You , the duo showcased their flawless chemistry with grandiose tracks, haunting trap beats, and star-studded features, such as "Like That" with Kendrick Lamar , "Young Metro" with The Weeknd , and "Type S—" with Travis Scott and Playboi Carti . As Metro defined in an interview with Complex , "it’s the classic Future and Metro, but just updated."

So far, no further details have been shared about the second album, but expectations remain high for the duo to outdo the first effort.

girl in red - I'M DOING IT AGAIN BABY!

"I wanted to sincerely apologize for the events that happened directly after the release of my second album, I'M DOING IT AGAIN BABY! " prefaced Norwegian singer girl in red — real name Marie Ulven — on a solemn social media video last month. But while viewers caught their breaths, she revealed it was all a witty joke: the album will only come out on Aprilil 12.

"This is a big year for me. 2024 is, like, my year," she added in the video. I'M DOING IT AGAIN BABY! follows Ulven’s 2021 debut If I Could Make It Go Quiet , but feels "more fun and more playful, and a little bit more confident," as she told Billboard . Lead track "Too Much" brings that novelty heads on, while singles "Doing It Again Baby" and "You Need Me Now?" with Sabrina Carpenter prove that Ulven’s powerful pop is only getting better.

Ulven will kick off her Doing It Again tour from April 16-June 2 in North America, and from Aug.27-Oct. 5 in Europe.

Kenny Garrett & Svoy - Who Killed AI?  

For his first electronic foray, NEA Jazz Master and GRAMMY-winning saxophonist Kenny Garrett enlisted the acclaimed producer-musician Svoy. The result is Who Killed AI? , a seven-track daring exploration of jazz and pop culture.

"The first two songs are really reminiscent of Miles [Davis] ," Garrett shared in a statement. "The way I’m stretching the melody — that’s how I played with Miles." The opener and lead single "Ascendence" is a strong preview of what’s to come: distorted synths and drum and bass beats fused with Garrett’s fun and brilliant lines, a compelling portrait of what the future of music can be.

Later in the year, Garrett plans to take the album on a live tour. "I think my fans will find this interesting," Garrett shared in a statement. "Some people forget that my teacher was Miles Davis. So for me, it’s not that I have to do something different. It is just something that I do. All you have to do is present the music and let them take the journey." 

ERNEST - Nashville, Tennessee  

Early in March, singer/songwriter ERNEST announced on social media that he would be running for mayor in order to "legalize country music." Of course, fans started to get their hopes up for new music — and they were right. The plot was just part of his promotion for the newly announced Nashville, Tennessee , out April 12.

A tour de force with 26 tracks, the record features a bevy of guest stars: from Jelly Roll ("I Went To College, I Went To Jail"), to Lainey Wilson ("Would If I Could"), and ERNEST's two-year-old son, Ryman Saint. It also includes a bluegrass cover of Radiohead ’s "Creep" with HARDY, and a cover of John Mayer ’s "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room."

In addition to "I Went To College, I Went To Jail," four other advance tracks have been shared: "Why Dallas" with Lukas Nelson , "Ain’t As Easy," "Ain’t Too Late," and "How’d We Get Here."

Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department 

Release date: April 19

On the same night that she won her  lucky 13th GRAMMY for Best Pop Vocal Album with 2022’s Midnights , Taylor Swift also announced her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department . Coming out April 19, the record will feature 16 tracks and collaborations by Florence + the Machine on "Florida!!!" and Post Malone on "Fortnight."

"I needed to make it, it was really a lifeline for me, it sort of reminded me why songwriting gets me through life," Swift said during her The Eras Tour show in Melbourne. "I've never had an album where I needed songwriting more than I needed it on Tortured Poets ."

Along with the statement, Swift also shared an alternate cover for the physical album, titled after and including bonus track "The Bolter." Later on, three other versions named "The Manuscript," "The Albatross," and "The Black Dog" — all including an eponymous bonus track —  were also made available for purchase.

For the rest of the year, Swift will be touring through Europe and North America. As usual with the singer, more surprises are likely to come soon.

PartyNextDoor - PartyNextDoor 4 (P4)

Release date: April 26

** Canadian hitmaker and singer PartyNextDoor will make his long-awaited return this month. PartyNextDoor 4 , also dubbed P4 , is his first full-length work since 2020’s Partymobile , and continues his eponymous albums series after 2016’s P3 . **

"This is the hardest I’ve ever worked on an album. This is the proudest I’ve felt," Party told Billboard for his March cover story. "I’m excited to grind even more for the next [one]. I’m in love with how hard you should work for it." 

He also explained that love is the reason why he takes so long to release new stuff. "I get into relationships and then music becomes second," he said. "I think I’m going to take a break from relationships, a long break, and just get back to making music."

In support of the release, Party shared moody, intimate singles "Resentment" and "Real Woman" — inspired by the same relationships that kept him off stage.

St. Vincent - All Born Screaming

In an interview with Mojo , St. Vincent — also known as Annie Clark — defined her upcoming seventh album, All Born Screaming , as "post-plague pop." Since its creation started right after the release of 2021’s Daddy’s Home , the years of seclusion and adjustment due to the COVID pandemic were a prominent influence in her new work.

"That kind of isolation breeds paranoia and loneliness, and loneliness can breed violence," she said. "It’s been a time of loss collectively and personally. [But] loss and death are very clarifying things, they make everything that doesn’t f—ng matter go away."

Comprising 10 tracks and features from Dave Grohl , Cate Le Bon, and Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa, All Born Screaming is St. Vincent’s first entirely self-produced set, and an attempt at showcasing what does matter. "This record is darker and harder and more close to the bone. I’d say it’s my least funny record yet. There’s nothing cute about it," she added.

Clark released two singles off the album, "Broken Man" and "Flea," and is gearing up for a North American tour starting May 22.

Picture This - Parked Car Conversations

" Parked Car Conversations is by far the most personal album we have ever created," said vocalist and lyricist Ryan Hennessy in a press release about Picture This’s upcoming album. "It is an album about everything involved with being human. Love and loss and hurt and euphoria and all of those other complex emotions that flutter in between."

The album consists of 15 songs, but a third of it can be previewed through bittersweet, soaring singles "Get On My Love," "Song To Myself," "Leftover Love," "Call It Love," and "Act Of Innocence." Overall, Parked Car Conversations is a soundtrack "not to a movie, but to life," and aims to convey "the ups and downs of living" through ballads and anthems alike, according to Hennessy. 

Coming almost three years since the Irish band’s last release, 2021’s Life in Colour , the new record will be celebrated in high spirits with an Europe and U.K. tour, starting April 21 in München, Germany.

The Taylor Swift Effect: 8 Ways The Eras Tour Broke Records & Shattered Sales

As the Eras Tour hits Disney+ with 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version)', take a look at some of the mind-boggling feats the pop superstar has accomplished with her culture-shifting trek.

Taylor Swift has continuously redefined what it means to be a pop superstar for almost two decades. But 2023 might have been her most defining year to date, thanks to the Eras Tour.

With 152 dates in stadiums across five continents, the Eras Tour isn't just Swift's personal biggest tour to date — it's a feat few other artists have accomplished. The sprawling 3 1/2-hour show is an impressive feat in itself, but the tour has gone on to break records and boost economies, firmly cementing Swift's stratospheric position as one of pop's all-time greats. 

There's a reason why the term "The Taylor Swift Effect" has been coined — it captures the impact Swift has had not just on music, but society as a whole. Swift's latest concert tour weaves through her 10- (and soon to be 11 -) album discography, totaling a whopping 44 songs across 10 different acts for each "era." Between the allure of each set's surprise song and the next-level fan engagement, the tour has become far more than your average concert — it's a full-on cultural moment. 

Though the trek still has a bewildering nine months to go (it will hit Europe and another North America stretch from May to December), Swift is celebrating the Eras Tour's one-year anniversary by bringing its record-breaking concert film to Disney+ on March 14th. 

As fans get ready to stream Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) , GRAMMY.com looks at the impact of the Eras Tour so far, exploring the records Swift has shattered since it first began.

Becoming The Highest Grossing Tour Ever

In eight months, Swift's Eras Tour did something no other artist has ever done: gross over $1 billion on a single tour. Pollstar reported the news in December 2023, stating that the 60+ shows she played in 2023 accumulated to 4.3 million tickets sold. 

This number is even more staggering when compared to Elton John 's farewell tour, which lasted five years and had 328 shows and accumulated $939 million . Not only has Swift been able to do the same with 152 shows, but she still has nine months to go — and at the pace she's going, Pollstar projects that she could pass the $2 billion mark.  

Shattering Attendance Records

From breaking the all-time record for attendance during her three shows at Nashville's Nissan Stadium in May 2023 to playing the largest shows of her career at Melbourne's Cricket Ground in February 2024 (performing to 288,000 fans over three days), Swift couldn't stop breaking attendance records at various stops. Including those venues, she's broken eight attendance records at seven so far: Seattle's Lumen Field, New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and Sao Paolo's Allianz Parque (where she broke one-day and three-day attendance records).

Although her friend and collaborator Ed Sheeran already broke some of her attendance records during his own 2023 world tour, Swift has done the impossible again by creating an entirely new record to break: how many people are both inside and outside the venue. Cities like Tampa and Detroit all had "Taygating" — mass parties with thousands of fellow Swifties that include singalongs, cookouts, and trading handmade friendship bracelets like the fans inside. In Philadelphia alone, cell phone usage data in the area determined that around 57,000 fans "taygated" outside throughout the tour's three nights.

Spiking Craft Sales

Creating costumes for Taylor Swift concerts is something that fans have been doing since Swift's Fearless Tour in 2009 and 2010, but a lyric from MIdnights ' "You're On Your Own Kid" created a new way for fans to engage with each other. The lyric "So make the friendship bracelets/ Take the moment and taste it" sparked a friendship bracelet frenzy, and caused a 40 percent chainwide increase in jewelry sales overall at Michaels craft stores, with locations within Eras Tour stops seeing a 300 percent sales increase in beads and jewelry categories leading up to the concert.

Since the start of the tour, Michaels has also helped Swifties create over 22,0000 bracelets in their bracelet-making classes in-store. And that simple lyric has inspired other fandoms to take part — Formula One fans are handing bracelets off to drivers before races, and British soccer players are making them to help boost team morale.

Spawning The Highest Grossing Concert Film Of All Time

When she announced that the Eras Tour concert film would be headed to the big screen, Swift opted to "bet on herself" by personally investing $10-20 million to bypass Hollywood entirely to facilitate a partnership directly with AMC. To say that bet worked would be an understatement: the Eras Tour concert movie became the highest-grossing concert film of all time , amassing $250 million in worldwide movie ticket sales. On the day it was announced, movie ticket buyers broke AMC's single-day advance ticket sales record, amassing $26 million within 24 hours.

The Eras Tour film would not only become a huge box office achievement , but would become the first concert film to ever be nominated for a Golden Globe, competing against other major box office blockbusters like Barbie and Oppenheimer .

Igniting Social Media

If fans can't physically be at the concert or "Taygate" outside the venue, they can tune in thanks to TikTok's live-streaming capabilities. Fellow fans provide streams of the entire concert for those who want to watch the gig. Although the viewer count varies, anywhere from 30k+ people can be tuning in on one stream (statistics have shown that most fans tune in for Swift's surprise songs).

Since the start of the Eras Tour, TikTok has been flooded with over 1.9 million videos, with Variety reporting that Taylor-related content can average around 380 million views per day and no day falling below 200 million views. Swift took note of some of the fan-fronted trends, too, including the viral "Bejeweled" dance, created by fan Mikael Arellano, as part of her choreography on tour.

Boosting The Economy

Every weekend, cities that hosted the Eras Tour awarded Swift with something special — Nashville placed a bench in Centennial Park as a nod to a lyric in "Invisible String," Santa Clara made her an honorary mayor, Minneapolis renamed the city 'Swiftie-apolis,' and Rio de Janeiro projected Swift's junior jewels shirt from the "You Belong With Me" onto Christ the Redeemer. No matter how the cities honored Swift, her visit was certainly beneficial for their local economies — one stop of the Eras Tour averaged around $1,300 spending per person on travel, hotels, food, and merchandise. 

The U.S. Travel Association likened it to the Super Bowl , but happening 53 times across 20 cities, estimating the economic impact to be around $10 billion by the time the tour wraps. It's a tour that has single-handedly changing travel , according to CNN, with fans choosing their travel based on where they can get tickets. And since money talks, politicians and world leaders — from Canada's Prime Minister to the Chilean President — have come out in spades to beg for Swift to add their countries to the worldwide tour. 

Breaking Niche Records

Two nights in Seattle resulted in a "Swift Quake" after so many fans danced to "Shake It Off," which caused seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. Seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach collected 10 hours of data — from the music to the speakers to the dancing — to see how that energy can impact the ground enough to shake it.

Although not an official record, within the Swiftie community, fans have had battles to see which city can have the longest-standing ovation after "champagne problems," as detailed on Reddit and Billboard . Right now, Swift's penultimate Los Angeles show at SoFi Stadium is the winner, clocking in at 8 minutes .

Elevating Swift's Discography

After the start of a tour, it's natural for artists to see their discography have a short influx of listeners and then taper off again. But after the first 10 weeks of the Eras Tour, Swift's catalogue was growing more and more with every stop — up to 79 percent more than where she was before the tour began. And instead of listeners streaming specific singles or albums, the streamers were all over Swift's set list; Billboard reported that 23 of the 42 songs performed have doubled in weekly streams. 

The tour even helped the resounding fan favorite from 2019's Lover, "Cruel Summer," transform from beloved deep cut to chart topper. Streams of "Cruel Summer" went up 304 percent, resulting in the track becoming both her 10th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and her sole longest-leading No. 1 on Billboard 's all-format Radio Songs chart.

Using the Eras Tour to work in tandem with her rerecording release schedule has also become an integral marketing tactic. So much so that coinciding the tour and the releases (as well as the announcements) has helped contribute to her having six albums in the top 20 of the year-end Billboard 200 , more No. 1 albums than any woman in history with 13 (as of press time), and 1989 (Taylor's Version) outselling the original — a staggering 1.3 million albums in its first week. 

Swift wrapped her first 2024 Eras Tour leg in Singapore on March 9, as she's now preparing to release her highly anticipated 11th album , The Tortured Poet's Department , on April 19. Three weeks later, the Eras Tour will pick back up in Nanterre, France, on May 9, with dates nearly every week until it wraps in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Dec. 8. 

With an already record-breaking tour and a new album on the way, there's no doubt that the world will continue to feel the impact of Taylor Swift and her pop star prowess — throughout 2024 and beyond.

Listen: GRAMMY.com's Women's History Month 2024 Playlist: Female Empowerment Anthems From Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Jennie & More

This March, the Recording Academy celebrates Women's History Month with pride and joy. Press play on this official playlist that highlights uplifting songs from Taylor Swift, Victoria Monét, Anitta and more.

From commanding stages to blasting through stereos, countless women have globally graced the music industry with their creativity. And though they've long been underrepresented , tides are changing: in just the last few years, female musicians have been smashing records left and right, conquering top song and album charts and selling sold-out massive tours .

This year, Women's History Month follows a particularly historic 66th GRAMMY Awards , which reflected the upward swing of female musicians dominating music across the board. Along with spearheading the majority of the ceremony's performances, women scored bigtime in the General Field awards — with wins including Best New Artist , Record Of The Year , Song Of The Year , and Album Of The Year .

Female empowerment anthems, in particular, took home major GRAMMY gold. Miley Cyrus ' "Flowers" took home two awards , while Victoria Monét was crowned Best New Artist thanks to the success of her album Jaguar II and its hit single "On My Mama." As those two songs alone indicate, female empowerment takes many different shapes in music — whether it's moving on from a relationship by celebrating self-love or rediscovering identity through motherhood.

The recent successes of women in music is a testament to the trailblazing artists who have made space for themselves in a male-dominated industry — from the liberating female jazz revolution of the '20s to the riot grrl movement of the '90s. Across genres and decades, the classic female empowerment anthem has strikingly metamorphosed into diverse forms of defiance, confidence and resilience.

No matter how Women's History Month is celebrated, it's about women expressing themselves, wholeheartedly and artistically, and having the arena to do so . And in the month of March and beyond, women in the music industry deserve to be recognized not only for their talent, but ambition and perseverance — whether they're working behind the stage or front-and-center behind the mic.

From Aretha Franklin 's "RESPECT" to Beyoncé 's "Run the World (Girls)," there's no shortage of female empowerment anthems to celebrate women's accomplishments in the music industry. Listen to GRAMMY.com's 2024 Women's History Month playlist on streaming services below.

Taylor Swift Dublin ticket prices explained as fans ‘work out’ Eras Tour cost

Taylor Swift is bringing her Eras Tour to Dublin's Aviva Stadium next summer. Tickets are expected to be like gold dust when they go on sale, and their rumoured prices have been circulating on social media.

• 12:20, 29 JUN 2023

Taylor Swift fans believe they have worked out how much tickets will cost when her Eras Tour comes to Europe.

Last week, the US superstar announced the news Irish Swifties had been waiting for as the 33-year-old confirmed she would be performing in Dublin next summer.

The All Too Well singer revealed she will bring her Eras Tour to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29, 2024.

As well as Dublin, a number of UK dates have also been confirmed for Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London.

READ MORE: Taylor Swift Dublin tickets: What happens next from expected prices to date they go on sale

Tickets are expected to be like gold dust and organisers have confirmed they will not be going on general sale. Fans were asked to register in advance if they wanted a chance of buying tickets, and that registration window ended at midnight on Friday.

While official ticket prices have yet to be confirmed, eagle-eyed fans believe they have figured out how much they could cost.

By estimating how much tickets have sold for in the US, where the Eras Tour is currently touring, and looking at similar shows in Europe, fans have come up with a map they believe might reflect the pricing of the show. However it is worth noting that it is highly speculative.

Posted on the Swifters 2.0 fan group on Facebook, which boasts more than 80,000 followers, the map suggests prices could start at around £49 (€57) for 'side view' seats towards the back of the stage.

Some side view seats - presumably with a better view - are also speculated to be on sale for around the £75 (€87) mark.

The better seats in the house could be going for anywhere between £95 (€110) and £160 (€185).

Those looking to stand at the show could be looking at around £95 (€110) a ticket, while anyone wanting to get up as close to the stage as possible with golden circle tickets might need to shell out for £150 (€174) for the opportunity.

Many fans commented on the map - which is modelled on Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium, where she is also playing.

One said: “Good luck everyone!”. Another wrote: “We need to see where is best for the kids”.

Someone else commented: “Sounds promising.”

Another social media post doing the rounds claims to have the prices in euros for the Eras Tour in Lyon, France.

The Tweet, by seeitinmymind, reads: “PRICES FOR ERAS TOUR LYON

“Prestige - €247.50

“Golden circle - €192.50

“Golden field - €159.50

“GA field - €99

“Category 1 seated - €170.50

“Category 2 seated - €115.50

“Category 3 seated - €86.00.”

While there is no way of really knowing how much Irish ticket prices will be until the moment they go on sale, it is a nice idea of what fans could be looking to pay.

For the US tour, tickets were originally expected to cost between $49 (€45) and $449 (€411) across the American venues.

Tickets were set to go on sale to the public on November 18, 2022 but there were issues with Ticketmaster's website crashing due to overwhelming demand, leading to the cancellation of the public onsale.

Taylor Swift expressed frustration on social media while US Ticketmaster issued an apology. The controversy received public criticism, political scrutiny and even led to congressional inquiries.

Many fans were forced to buy tickets through resale vendors at heavily inflated prices, making it hard to find out exactly how much they cost in the US.

Back in March when the Eras Tour kicked off, ticket prices started from $289 (€264) rising to as much as $1,778 (€1,078), with prices varying depending on location.

Meanwhile, fans are being reminded that anyone who wants to attend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Dublin needed to register in advance to buy tickets.

The registration helps prevent ticket reselling and aims to give real fans a fair chance. However, registering doesn't guarantee a ticket. Only a limited number of fans will get access to the sale

Anyone not selected initially, will be put on a waitlist and might receive an invitation if more tickets become available.

According to ticketmaster.ie: “Ticket Sales Registration is being used to help fans get tickets for Taylor Swift The Eras Tour in Ireland. This helps us to filter out buyers looking to resell tickets, and instead get them into the hands of fans who want to attend the show.

“Registration does not guarantee access to the sale, or to tickets. We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available.

“A limited number of fans will get access to the sale, and others will be put on the waitlist. Getting access to the sale doesn’t guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

“If you aren’t initially selected, you’ll be placed on the waitlist and may receive an invitation if any further tickets become available.”

The registration period closed at midnight on Friday and anyone who registered should have an email confirmation.

Those who registered will receive an email on Wednesday, July 5 letting them know if they were selected for the onsale or placed on the waitlist.

Anyone who was selected will receive a purchase link and access code via SMS on Wednesday, July 12, which is the day before tickets go onsale.

Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, July 13 at 10am.

Taylor Swift Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium seating plan revealed - these are the best seats

This is what fans believe could be the seating plan for Taylor's London show

• 14:50, 7 JUL 2023
• Updated 09:21, 10 JUL 2023

A sneak peak of the seating plan for Taylor Swift’s six nights at Wembley Stadium for her Eras Tour has been shared on social media. Swifties believe the image shared by the fan account @TheErasTourUK could be the official seating map for all of her London gigs.

The multicoloured Wembley Stadium diagram appeared to show six different sections. However, the official seating chart will be released when tickets go on sale, but this will give anxious fans an idea of what to expect.

Wembley’s map sections include Front Standing Right (Blue), Front Standing Left (Pink), General Admission Standing (Yellow), Level 1 Reserved Seating (Green), Level 2 Reserved Seating (Purple), and Level 5 Reserved Seating (Red). According to the map, the stadium blocks range from 101 to 144 for Level 1, 201 to 252 for Level 1 and 501 to 552 on Level 5.

@TheErasTourUK tweeted alongside the map: “The Eras Tour seat map for Wembley Stadium has been made available on Ticketmaster! There will be three standing only sections and three reserved seating levels.”

Their tweet has been viewed over 189,000 times and if this map is a true indication of what the seating plan will look like, fans can assume there will be seating behind the stage.

Though, this has not been confirmed yet. If the map is to be believed, the "best" seats up for grabds would be either of the pitch-side standing areas, Level 1 blocks 125 to 126 and 141 to 142.

According to Pink News , tickets for Taylor’s shows are rumoured to cost between £49/£75/£95/£125/£160 for seated and £95/£150 for standing. If you haven’t received an email yet, don’t fret, all registrants will receive a further email from either Ticketmaster or AXS confirming their selected/waitlist status by 11.59pm Friday, July 14.

If you have managed to nab a golden code to the presale next week, this is what you should keep in mind. Lucky fans will be receiving an email from the promoter AEG Presents, and will be given information on the concert date they have signed up for.

According to Ticketmaster , if you are selected to receive an access code, you will receive an email the afternoon before the ticket sales begin per the schedule above. This email will include timing details and a link to where the on-sale will occur, and your unique, non-transferrable access code. Codes are also only valid to purchase up to the advised ticket limit, subject to availability.

You also cannot enter multiple codes, as only one code can be processed during each transaction. Separate transactions will be required for each access code held. If you find that your access code hasn’t worked, you may have maxed out your ticket limit, which for each show is limited to four per purchase.

Anna- Alicia

Really loved this! The cost is similar to booking hotels &tours yourself, but it's so helpful to have knowledgeable people book and organise things. I loved receiving our itineraries and any adjustments that needed to be made were relatively quick. My constructive feedback; I wish there had been some context on what to expect when actually waiting at the bus stops for tours; big groups of people and different buses showing up was pretty intimating the first couple times. This tour schedule is pretty intense, you leave Reykjavik before shops open and return after they close. If you take the Snaefellness option (which you should! It's really cool!) I recommend also taking an extra day break between it and your 2 day South coast to enjoy the city and not spend all week in a bus. Guide to Iceland was able to quickly send us a quote and book us an extra night and it was great. Would recommend and totally do it again!

Everything was perfect. From landing at the airport and being picked up by car rental company, every accommodation, and every tour, it was all taken care of and when I contacted customer service with questions they were quick to reply, I’ve traveled my fair share in my life but this was my first solo journey. I have to admit though, I’m not sure it’s fair to call it solo. Guid to Iceland was there every step of the way. I can’t wait to go back and see the north of the country. This tour took me through amazing sights, breathtaking landscapes and plenty of time to see the capitol as well. The accommodations, especially those guesthouses on people’s farm were amazing. The hosts were polite, welcoming and eager to answer questions. The food was incredible. The guides on the tours continued this, and were courteous and professional. I felt I was always in good hands. It was a trip of a lifetime, that I’ll always cherish. Thank you!!

Solo traveller to Iceland like me will never feel being as solo by joining a small group of total 10pax for this 8days super Icelandic tour. We had so much funs & laughs during the trip with our amazing, funny, knowledgable & informative tour guide - Palli. And of course, Palli was a verybskillful driver too especially during heavy snowfall days. You have created fantastic life memories for me, thank you Palli & Troll Expeditions. I'm so in love with Iceland!

I recently joined Tröll Expeditions on their 8-day Iceland Ring Road tour, and I had an absolutely amazing time! Our guide, John, was knowledgeable, humorous, and engaging. He kept us entertained with interesting stories and facts about Iceland, and he even curated a playlist of Icelandic and English songs to match the scenery and mood of our journey. Although one day of our itinerary had to be changed due to bad weather, John did his best to find alternative activities and make the most of the situation. He also took us to several hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path locations, which made the trip even more special. The 8-day itinerary was well-paced, with enough time to explore each stop. Tröll packed in a lot of exciting activities, including glacier hiking, exploring a blue ice cave, whale watching, visiting a lava cave, relaxing in the Vök baths, and horseback riding on Icelandic horses. I visited Iceland in March-April, which is a great time to see the Northern Lights and explore the blue ice caves. However, the weather can be unpredictable, so I highly recommend joining a guided tour instead of driving yourself. Overall, I highly recommend Tröll Expeditions. It was a truly exciting and unforgettable Iceland trip! 我參加了 Tröll Expeditions 的冰島八日環島行，先說結論，非常推薦！！ 因為這次要帶著年紀較大的媽媽，自己又沒有雪地駕車經驗 出發前冰島大部分心得也都是自駕，台灣當地出發的冰島環島旅行團又都超級貴 衡量之下就報名了冰島當地的Tröll Expeditions （當時也有比較arctic adventures，但arctic adventures的環島團只有七天，覺得太趕） 導遊 John 非常認真、風趣，講解生動活潑，他還會在遊覽車上播放英文和冰島語歌單，搭配沿途的風景和情境，讓旅程更加有趣！ 雖然有一天的行程因天氣因素無法按照原定計畫進行，但 John 還是非常盡力地規劃替代行程，旅途中也帶我們去了許多秘境私人景點，讓我對冰島有了更深入的了解 八日環島的行程雖然還是有點趕，但每個景點都還算是有充足的時間可以好好遊覽。 Tröll 的行程安排也非常棒，包含了冰川健行、藍冰洞、賞鯨、熔岩洞穴、Vök 浴池和冰島馬騎乘等六項活動，都超級值得體驗！ 我是在 3-4 月前往冰島，雖然天氣寒冷，但日照時間長，還可以抓住冬天尾巴可以看到藍冰洞景觀和好幾天的極光。但由於冰島春季路況多變，許多地方也還有下雪，沒有雪地自駕經驗建議還是參加冰島當地的旅行團。

Travelling the Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is widely known to be the most popular sightseeing route in Iceland, in large part due to the capital city’s proximity to three of the country’s most inspiring natural attractions; Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal valley and the mighty waterfall, Gullfoss (“The Golden Falls”).

Other attractions en-route, though not part of the Golden Circle itself, include Kerið volcanic crater, Efstidalur farm and ice cream store and the fascinating Sólheimar Ecovillage. If you hope to see these extra attractions, please make sure that the tour you are interested in includes them as part of the scheduled itinerary. 

What is less known, however, is the sheer variety of methods in which visitors choose to undertake this route, the most popular of which is taking a guided tour on a coach or minibus ; this is a cost-effective means of experiencing the Golden Circle while also providing your party with a learned and experienced tour guide.

Guides on the Golden Circle are able to focus in on each attraction, teaching you about their history and importance to Icelandic culture, as well as pointing out lesser-known sites of interest, such as shooting locations for the HBO fantasy series, ‘Game of Thrones’, of which there are a number to be found in Þingvellir National Park.

Another means of experiencing the Golden Circle could include a helicopter tour , making this one of the more VIP undertakings of your holiday. While no doubt pricier that sightseeing at ground-level, flying from attraction to attraction allows you to cut down your tour time from 8 hours to a solitary one, making this the most time-effective, unique and exhilarating method on the market.

Another option is to drive the Golden Circle route yourself . This option provides you with the most freedom over your day, allowing you to spend just as much time at each attraction as you would like. And while this option lacks the knowledge and know-how of a professional tour guide, it is more than made up for with the company you choose.

Finally, the Golden Circle allows for many bonus activities that can but heighten your experience. These activities range from horse-riding to snowmobiling on Langjökull glacier to snorkelling in Silfra Fissure .
