With a 44-song setlist, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert film had to make some tough decisions on what to include and what to leave out. Originally scheduled for release on Friday, October 13, Swift surprised fans by moving up the premiere to Thursday, October 12. The film captures moments from her three-day stint at Los Angeles' So-Fi Stadium from August 3 to August 5.
Despite Swift's energetic three-hour performances, the movie's runtime is around two hours and 48 minutes, leading to some moments not making the final cut. Swift herself attended the movie premiere at The Grove's AMC Theatre in L.A., expressing gratitude to her fans for their support and enthusiasm throughout the tour.
Some notable omissions from the concert film include her lead single from the Folklore album, a track from the 1989 era, and a song from the Lover era that was part of the live set but didn't make it to the film. Additionally, a collaboration with HAIM during the Los Angeles shows was left out of the movie.
However, fans can look forward to surprises in the Disney+ version of the concert film, including the inclusion of previously omitted songs like the lead single from Folklore and a secret song from the August 5 show in L.A. The acoustic version of a song from Swift's 2019 album, Lover, will also be featured in the Disney+ release.
Swift's dedication to her fans was evident as she interacted with moviegoers at the premiere, emphasizing their role in making the tour a memorable experience. She described the film as a perfect capture of the show and expressed her gratitude for the fans' support and enthusiasm.
Overall, while some moments may have been left out of the Eras Tour concert film, fans can still expect an exciting and engaging experience that showcases Swift's talent and connection with her audience.
