Following the worldwide success of The Eras Tour concert film, it’s been reported that Taylor Swift is back, prepping for a spectacular return to theatre screens.
Just weeks before the superstar is set to release her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, The Hollywood Reporter has reported that the superstar has planned her return to the big screen. It’s been two years since Taylor released the record-breaking Eras Tour concert film, so fans are overjoyed to hear about this project.
From the orange door at the end of the final Eras Tour show, to the four colour-coded boxes labelled T.S. spotted on the shelf during the New Heights podcast – Taylor’s love for easter eggs is no secret. But this time, her upcoming theatre event is covered in even more mystery than ever.
So here’s everything we know so far about the rumours.

It’s also rumoured that it will come to cinemas the same weekend, 4th – 5th October (so Swifties be ready).
Swifties have always wanted an Eras Tour documentary, so many will be hoping the mystery event it is a behind-the-scenes tour documentary/film to accompany her new album The Life of a Showgirl. However, nothing has been revealed yet.

Continuing to add to the mystery, it’s currently unknown who was involved with the rumoured movie.
The Eras Tour film released in 2023 was directed by Sam Wrench. However, it’s possible Taylor has directed this project herself like she did with the Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions documentary that hit Disney+ in 2020.
At several London Eras Tour shows fans did notice camera crews filming. In one video posted on X (previously known as Twitter), fans spotted cameras filming the post-concert clean up.

At the moment, it’s not known if Taylor partnered with AMC theatres again like she did for The Eras Tour film, as they’ve not responded to requests for comments.
The Hollywood Reporter sources have speculated that AMC could easily be in the mix again because the success of The Eras Tour film was unprecedented. The movie became the top grossing concert film of all time, making $261.6 million globally.
From her appearance on fiancé Travis Kelce’s podcast with his brother Jason, to the surprise album reveal, the engagement announcement, and now a theatre event – fans are overwhelmed and were quick to react to the nonstop news.
On X (previously known as Twitter), one fan said: So excited, she is the moment. She is always the moment.”
Another said: “I’m already at the theatres I will not be leaving.”
