(New York) The Taylor Swift concert film, The Eras Tourwill be available on the Disney+ streaming platform, Walt Disney announced Wednesday.
The film, now titled Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) will arrive on the streaming platform starting March 15. Five new songs will be added to the film, including Cardigan.
“ The Eras Tour has been a true phenomenon that has delighted and continues to delight fans around the world, and we are very pleased to present this electrifying concert to audiences, no matter where they are, exclusively on Disney”, rejoiced Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement.
The Eras Tour has grossed more than 262 million in theaters worldwide since its release in October, setting a record for concert films. Taylor Swift teamed up with theater chain AMC to release the film, in a first-of-its-kind deal that dodged Hollywood studios and instead sent the film straight to theaters. This resulted in a second round of bidding for streaming rights.
The film The Eras Tour will be available on Disney+ approximately a month before the release of Taylor Swift’s recently announced new album, The Tortured Poets Department, April 19. On Sunday, she won the best album prize at the Grammy Awards for the opus Midnights.
