Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Makes History
The Eras Tour movie was released on Disney+ on March 5, allowing fans everywhere to stream the experience whenever they liked. The movie came out in theaters during October 2023, being marked as one of the most anticipated movies to watch. Within the first week, the movie made over $123 million dollars, making it the highest grossing concert movie released. When the Eras Tour movie was put on Disney+, it included five songs that were not found in the original theater release: “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” “You Are in Love,” “I Can See You,” “Maroon,” and “Cardigan.”
The Eras Tour movie started with music from her album Lover, her first album after leaving her record label, Big Machine, where her catalog was sold somewhere between 2019 and 2020. The Lover segment of the setlist consisted of “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince,” “Lover,” “The Man,” “Cruel Summer,” and two of my personal favorites, “You Need to Calm Down,” and “The Archer.” The crowd was electrifying, and this marked the beginning of a journey of all the phases that Swift’s music had been through.
The accompanying dancers on stage were one of my favorite parts of the whole movie. Dancers such as Kameron Saunders, Jan Ravnik, and Raphael Thomas have become a few fan favorites throughout the tour as they put their hearts into choreographing these iconic songs and carrying themselves with a great stage presence. The backup singers were also incredible, highlighting Swift’s voice in every song. The overall energy of the movie was incredible, making you feel like you were actually right there in SoFi Stadium in California with the rest of the fans. I would recommend watching it through Disney+ instead of just renting it because there are more movies and shows available to watch on Disney+ in addition to the Eras Tour. Whether it was Swift’s vocals, her backup singers, her dancers, or the energetic audience, it was an incredible experience that any Swiftie should see.
