Taylor Swift fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the release of her concert film, 'Taylor Swift Eras Tour', and it seems that the excitement is paying off.

Movie', 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3', 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' and 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'.

Furthermore 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' is also expected to benefit from the fact that it is being released at a time when people are eager to return to the cinema after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. AMC is also distributing the movie of Beyonce's Renaissance tour, which is set to be released in December.

'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' will be a filmed version of Swift's ongoing landmark sixth concert tour, which completed its first US leg in August.

Filmed across three nights of shows in Los Angeles' Sofi Stadium, the film will showcase Swift's performance of songs from all ten of her albums – 'Taylor Swift', 'Fearless', 'Speak Now', 'Red', '1989', 'reputation', 'Lover', 'Folklore' 'Evermore' and 'Midnights'.

In celebration of the movie's release, AMC upgraded its ticket-booking capacity by five times to account for fan demand. It also priced standard adult tickets at $19.89, a reference to the year Swift was born, as well as her fifth album 1989, with children's and senior tickets at $13.13, which is a reference to Swift's lucky number.

"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 wrote when announcing the film on social media
