All the Stars at the ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’ Movie Premiere
Taylor Swift hosted the world premiere of her record-breaking Eras Tour concert film Wednesday (Oct. 11), joining fans and fellow stars in viewing the first-ever screenings of her bestselling global trek caught on camera.
The event took place at AMC theaters at The Grove in Los Angeles, where multiple rooms of people enjoyed synchronous showings of the nearly three-hour program. The seats were filled with Swifties who’d been handpicked by the pop star and her team to attend, but several celebrities also dotted the audience: Maren Morris, Hayley Kiyoko, Simu Liu and the queen herself, Beyoncé, to name a few.
Before sitting down to watch the film, which captured almost an entire Eras Tour concert via footage compiled from Swift’s SoFi Stadium stops (minus the songs “The Archer,” “No Body No Crime” feat. HAIM, “Long Live,” “Cardigan” and “Wildest Dreams”), the 12-time Grammy winner stopped in each theater to make a speech. “I can’t believe I get to do music as a career,” she told the crowds. “That’s crazy. I’ve always had so much fun doing it. I’ve never had this much fun in my life as I have had on The Eras Tour. It is far and away just the most electric experience of my life.”
The star-studded premiere marked a triumphant send-off for the Eras Tour movie, which had already crushed existing AMC sales numbers well before its release. Similar with the Eras concert tickets, the company experienced an unprecedented demand for tickets to the film — so much so, Swift announced that the project would hit theaters a whole day early, now opening Thursday (Oct. 12).
“I can’t really wrap my head around this but…. Look what you genuinely made me do,” wrote the singer in a pre-premiere Instagram post. “I can’t thank you enough for wanting to see this film that so vividly captures my favorite adventure I’ve ever been a part of: The Eras Tour. And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together. Getting in the car now…”
