Though major Hollywood studios and streamers may not want to meet the demands of their employee unions months into the ongoing writer and actor strikes, Taylor Swift has no such qualms. The pop star reportedly met all of SAG-AFTRA's demands to film and produce what will likely become the top-grossing tour film of all time.
In fact, Swift's team worked around the major studios—represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP, in the ongoing labor negotiations—altogether when it came to producing and releasing Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The film was self-funded, with Swift reportedly spending $10 to $20 million to produce it and her parents working directly with AMC Theaters on distribution.
