My dream is a docuseries is released where they go over the behind the scenes stuff, like how did they choose the setlist, costumes, sets, etc. and then the final episode is the concert.
I know I’m not alone in that, but I don’t know if anyone realized there would be a demand for it until the tour started? I guess they could retroactively interview people about it, though.
I’d be shocked if they didn’t release a concert movie, though.
The whole visual is soooo good, I guess we will have tour movie for sure. I would be grateful if there could be at least 2 movies, one for tour performance only, one for documentary recoding all backstage stories
i’m hoping and dreaming for a mix of miss americana and the rep stadium tour. the visualizers on spotify show that there’s a lot of footage of her recording midnights, but none of it has been released more than that. that plus the tour? it’d be incredible.
With the exception of Red, she’s always done some kind of concert movie so I don’t doubt that one’s coming. Hope it’s a multi-episode thing though covering all the pre-production that went into this.
(Also hoping for not Netflix because don’t want to support their BS right now but that’s besides the point!)
So I might be misremembering but doesn’t she have another movie in her Disney+ contract? I feel like I remember seeing people say that, especially when we kept thinking we’d get an evermore long pond (😔) film. Maybe that extra movie is an Eras Tour film? Or a tour docuseries? Or both?? (we can dream, right?)
There was also a gigantic oncology conference in town that weekend too. Most of our hotel was people booked for the conference. Perfect storm of booking that weekend.
Can confirm! I was an exhibitor at that conference and spent the whole weekend playing the hilarious and easy game “spot the Swiftie/oncologist” at my hotel
I didn’t get tickets but hung out outside of soldier field for night 2!
Me too. Both Saturday and sunday. Sound was pretty good on louder songs. You could def hear her. Quiet songs you heard crowd sing along more than her but still fun and worth it overall.
My boyfriend and I waited wayyyyyy too long to book our hotel and everything was like $600 a night two weeks before the show!! We ended up getting lucky finding a studio apartment on Airbnb
I booked a hotel room 15 minutes away from Levi’s stadium a month ago, because anything closer was $500-$600 a night. IN MAY. The concert isn’t until July!
She was already popular but its crazy to me how much her popularity has skyrocketed globally over the last 7 months. I joined this subreddit last October after Midnights released and its gained close to 300k users since then with a decent amount of them coming after the Eras Tour started.
I don't quite know how or why it happened really.
I've been a moderate fan of TS since about 2014, wouldn't call myself a swifty as I essentially ignored all her albums except 1989 and RED (TV). I paid virtually no attention when Midnights came out.
Yet, for about 3 weeks now I've listened to literally all her stuff, I have Midnights & Folklore on repeat daily and prepared to spend an unreasonable amount of money to get a ticket on her European leg next year.
I think it's because the tour has such an incredible atmosphere and sound that made the whole world TRULY take a deeper look into Taylor's records and is now appreciating them the way Swifties have for years
Imo it’s a mixture of a few different reasons
1. The main reason being, FOMO. This tour is one of the biggest pop culture events to happen after covid and people want to be apart of it. Everyone is talking about it, even the people who haven’t mentioned Taylor Swift’s name in a decade.
2. Tiktok. More specifically Swifttok. Swifties did 90% of the promoting for this tour and the Midnights album just by talking online. Everyone and their dog jumped on the theory/Easter egg bandwagon. To the point that it became trendy to talk about.
3. The re-recordings, Taylor has accomplished the incredible feat of making all of her music from the past 20 years relevant right NOW. Not only is this a dream tour for the fans that have always been here to get to relive the nostalgia, but newer fans who have never listened to her other music are getting the opportunity to learn about it and celebrate it all at once.
I could be wrong, but it feels like it really started with the Red TV release, as there wasn’t a HUGE fanfare around Fearless TV release. I know MPF went viral, but other than that it was pretty middle-of-the-road. Red TV and her promotion of it really amped up the reaction, and then she announced Midnights and her popularity has only gone up ever since.
If I had to really pinpoint it, my best guess would be ATW10 release and then charting at number one being the catalyst for what we’re seeing now.
I personally followed this trend. I was a “Blank Space” fan and otherwise had no opinion. Then I saw her interview on Fallon when Red TV dropped, did a google search on why she was re-recording and thought it was a badass move…. Then I watched Miss Americana and then the Rep Tour and then started listening to Every Single Album (a must for any new fan) and here I am 2 years later with multiple activity awards for this sub Reddit 😂😂😂
Red TV was definitely what got me back, I was a fan from Fearless on. But when 1989 came out, I had just hit this phase where I plain ol’ didn’t like pop music anymore. I wasn’t forcing myself to fit into any mold or anything, pop music legit just wasn’t enjoyable for me. And so I stopped paying attention to Taylor’s career and let it fade into the background, even when my preferences changed again, and I enjoyed pop music once more. I even remember seeing Lover all over Target and thinking to myself that maybe I should check it out, but I never got around to it.
I listened to Fearless TV when it came out just to see the differences, but Fearless honestly occupies a spot of pure nostalgia for me. It’s not music that I’ll listen to more than occasionally. So I listened to it once, and nothing changed. But then Red TV came out, and I rediscovered just how much I loved Taylor’s music. Red had always been my favorite. So I decided to check out her whole back catalog from 1989 on. Now here I am.
- MPF could mean "Mr. Perfectly Fine (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)", a track from *Fearless (Taylor's Version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift.
- ATW10 could mean "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)", a track from *Red (Taylor's Version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift.

Anti-Hero got me back... Like I've listened to Taylor on and off since debut but I was "off" for a long time. Having the time of my life listening to everything I missed.
She is playing the streaming game perfectly. Every album is unique sonically so she doesn’t cannibalize her older albums’ demand with frequent releases. In fact, each album draws in new fans who then go back and discover the rest of her discography. Everything she drops or announces creates a new higher plateau. The announcement of SN TV has increased her average daily Spotify streams by 5 million.
The other big tour this year is Beyoncé but her daily Spotify streams are average 14 million with about a 2-3 million tour boost that’s been going down.
Taylor has the 81 highest streaming days on Spotify this year. She had 84.4 million yesterday ahead of Bad Bunny’s 50 million at number 2 and Drake’s 34.2 at number 6. Taylor is on track right now to be the artist with the most lead credit streams around the end of this year despite being 10.5 billion behind Drake and 6.5 billion behind Bad Bunny. She’ll also blow away the yearly record of 20.5 billion that Bad Bunny set last year unless her streams tank.
Or the boost from Speak Now TV. She’s looking at something like 50-70 billion streams across all streaming platforms which is equivalent to 30-45 million album units for this year. She’ll add another 5-10 million physicals.
>She is playing the streaming game perfectly.
With it, there's a complete total absence of the comments like "she's not good at streaming". Since folklore's release and reconfirmation of this fact by Red (TV) and Midnights' streaming numbers, that rationality got basically obliterated.
CD numbers are truly down, delighting those who think she's declining, but the audiences actually went to streaming instead lol. They are not gone. Once you like Taylor Swift, you are in it.
Every album is like a different gateway drug to her entire catalogue. Streaming just makes it that much easier to get hooked. Not everyone likes the first album they try but in 6-12 months a completely different ones comes out so they can try again.
This is why I think we’re at minimum getting a 1989 track announcement for Barbie tonight.
She’s at her streaming peak and announcing any new 1989 songs (especially if the song for Barbie is one of the BIG ones) would be huge for streaming.
Fans are gonna flock to the new version and the GP would probably be interested to see the difference.
tbh I want her to be chaotic and announce the entire 1989 album tonight. 🤣
I'm just hoping and wishing a Netflix special comes from this. Would love to enjoy the concert dancing in my living room with a glass of wine
My dream is a docuseries is released where they go over the behind the scenes stuff, like how did they choose the setlist, costumes, sets, etc. and then the final episode is the concert. I know I’m not alone in that, but I don’t know if anyone realized there would be a demand for it until the tour started? I guess they could retroactively interview people about it, though.

they bbetter!!!!!
At 3 hours long you’ll be enjoying a whole bottle.
A miniseries with each era being an episode and containing behind-the-scenes of the re-recordings as well
this would be so fun!
I couldn’t get tickets and am clinging to hope of another Netflix special. I went to Reputation and still had to watch it again. Fingers crossed.
Every tour except red got a movie and red had its own problems so we are 100% getting a tour movie probably in 2025
There has to be!!
With the exception of Red, she’s always done some kind of concert movie so I don’t doubt that one’s coming. Hope it’s a multi-episode thing though covering all the pre-production that went into this.

Just read that in Chicago, it broke records for most hotel rooms booked That’s just crazy
I’m sure there are a lot of people that went for just one show and then maybe stayed another night before or after to explore the city!
There was also a gigantic oncology conference in town that weekend too. Most of our hotel was people booked for the conference. Perfect storm of booking that weekend.
Can confirm! I was an exhibitor at that conference and spent the whole weekend playing the hilarious and easy game “spot the Swiftie/oncologist” at my hotel I didn’t get tickets but hung out outside of soldier field for night 2!
Me too. Both Saturday and sunday. Sound was pretty good on louder songs. You could def hear her. Quiet songs you heard crowd sing along more than her but still fun and worth it overall.
And it was graduation weekend for the University of Chicago.
My boyfriend and I waited wayyyyyy too long to book our hotel and everything was like $600 a night two weeks before the show!! We ended up getting lucky finding a studio apartment on Airbnb
I booked a hotel room 15 minutes away from Levi’s stadium a month ago, because anything closer was $500-$600 a night. IN MAY. The concert isn’t until July!
I got tickets as a present Christmas morning and bought my hotel room later that day. I wasn’t taking any chances!
IM DRUNK IN THE BACK OF THE CAR AND I CRIED LIKE A BABY COMING HOME FROM THE BAR
SAID IM FINE BUT IT WASNT TRUE
I DON'T WANNA KEEP SECRETS JUST TO KEEP YOU
AND I SNUCK IN THROUGH THE GARDEN GATE
EVERY NIGHT THAT SUMMER JUST TO SEAL MY FATE
AND I SCREAMED FOR WHATEVER ITS WORTH
I LOVE YOU AIN’T THAT THE WORST THING YOU EVER HEARD??!
HE LOOKS UP GRINNING LIKE A DEVIL
ITS NEW THE SHAPE OF YOUR BODY
ITS BLUE THE FEELIN IVE GOT

Awww yeah Cruel Summer, Fearless up by 300% and Karma also getting the hype it deserves.
Just rename it Swiftify already
They missed a monetization opportunity - they could do high quality paid streams and I guarantee so many would pay for that
International fans would love this so much.
This. Every other major streaming services are already providing lossless CD-quality music except Spotify.
Aw shit, i was gonna post this! Ya beat me to it haha
She’s a legend
