Taylor Swift didn’t include “Mastermind” on Midnights for nothing. In fact, she’s adding more evidence every day. This morning, August 31, Swift revealed that she’s bringing her Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film to theaters on October 13.
And, as with everything Swiftian, the fun is in the details.
Tickets, which are available now here, begin at $19.89 for adults and $13.13 for children and seniors (pre-tax and for standard screen showings). Per Variety, “Up-charges will kick in, as always, for IMAX and Dolby Cinema showings.”
It’s on par with Swift purposefully choosing August 9 (8/9) as the date to to unveil 1989 (Taylor’s Version) as her next re-recorded album release due out on October 27.
Good Morning America had the exclusive announcement of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, and Swift also posted about the concert film across her socials.
“The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon,” Swift captioned her posts. “Starting Oct 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America! Tickets are on sale now. Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged. 1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk).”

Variety relayed that AMC Theatres will screen Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour “at every one of its US locations at least four times a day on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through its initial engagement, with many of the chain’s IMAX and Dolby Cinema locations locked in to ensure the singer remains larger than life on its premium screens. The film will also play on Cinemark and Regal screens in the US, with other theaters and chains expected to be added.”
AMC also provided a statement to the publication, addressing the presumed rush on tickets, which reads:
“In anticipation of this announcement, AMC has upgraded its website and ticketing engines to handle more than five times the largest influx of ticket-buying traffic the company has ever experienced before. But AMC is also aware that no ticketing system in history seems to have been able to accommodate the soaring demand from Taylor Swift fans when tickets are first placed on sale. Guests wanting to be the first to buy their tickets online may experience delays, longer-than-usual ticket-purchase waiting-room times and possible outages. AMC is committed to ensuring any delays or outages are addressed as quickly as possible.”
The Eras Tour will resume in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 9, 10, and 11. Swift (and Sabrina Carpenter) will then visit Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (November 17, 18, and 19) and São Paulo, Brazil (November 24, 25, and 26) before resuming international dates in February 2024. On August 3, Swift confirmed a second US leg scheduled for October and November 2024.
