On December 13, 2023, in celebration of her 34th birthday, Taylor Swift will release an extended version of her “Eras Tour” concert film for digital rental, offering a unique treat for fans. This move follows the film’s initial premiere in theaters on October 13, 2023, which marked a significant moment in the entertainment industry due to its innovative distribution approach and record-breaking success.

“The Eras Tour” film, known for its highest-grossing concert film status, showcases Swift’s exceptional performances and the visually stunning elements that characterized the tour. For Swifties who couldn’t experience the concert live or those wanting to relive the magic, the film provides a nearly authentic concert experience, encouraging viewers to dance and sing along at home.

Adding to the excitement, the streaming version will feature three new songs not included in the theatrical release: “Wildest Dreams,” “The Archer” and “Long Live.” These additions are sure to delight fans and provide a fresh perspective on the already acclaimed tour film.

Swift announced the streaming release via social media, expressing her desire to celebrate her birthday and the year’s successes with fans by making the concert film available for home viewing. The film will be accessible for rent on multiple platforms, including Apple TV+, Prime Video, Vudu, Xfinity, Google Play and YouTube, although the rental price has yet to be announced.

The anticipation for Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert film is palpable among her fans, including those from Lambert High School. The film’s upcoming streaming release is creating a buzz among Swifties, both those who had the opportunity to see the concert live and those who missed it. 

“Even though I went to the concert and saw the movie in theaters already, I’m beyond excited for it to come to streaming services,” Lambert senior Julia Szlek said. “I’m so excited to be able to enjoy her music and performance whenever I want and share it with people who also love Taylor Swift.”

This sentiment is echoed by others in the Lambert community, with students who didn’t get to attend the live shows eagerly awaiting the chance to experience the magic of Swift’s performances through the film. The inclusion of three new songs in the streaming version adds an extra layer of excitement, making this release a much-anticipated event for Swift’s diverse fanbase.

The “Eras Tour” film’s distribution strategy, a partnership between Swift and AMC Theatres, bypassed the traditional producer, distributor and exhibitor model for theatrical releases. This approach not only proved highly profitable but also paved the way for other artists to explore similar distribution methods.

Swift’s innovative approach to distributing her “Eras Tour” film has been praised as a disruptive force in the cinema industry, further cementing her status as a trailblazing artist in both the music and film industries.
