[UPDATE 12:30 pm]: Taylor Nation confirmed<\/a> on Friday\u00a0Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party Of A Showgirl.\u00a0The theatrical event will include \u201cthe exclusive world premiere of \u2018The Fate Of Ophelia\u2019 music video with behind-the-scenes footage, plus new lyric videos and the stories behind each song\u201d from the album. Tickets for the 89-minute \u201cfilm\u201d are specially priced at $12 (before online booking fees) for her 12th album and went on sale at 12:12 PM on AMC\u2019s website. There won\u2019t be any trailers or ads before showings, and AMC is encouraging fans to sing and dance during the event, per\u00a0Variety<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

[Original story]: Taylor Swift promised there isn\u2019t a secret double album coming with The Life Of A Showgirl<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t mean there are no surprises in store. According to <\/a>The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Swift\u2019s team is prepping a \u201ctheatrical event\u201d to launch the same weekend of her album release, on October 3. Sources told the outlet that the movie\u2014or whatever it is\u2014will be tied to the album.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other than that, there are few details available for this project. Instead, everything is shrouded in mystery and Easter eggs, as usual. Swift\u2019s official fan club posted clips of the singer, wearing an orange sweater (available to buy on her website for a limited time only!), looking delighted on the set of <\/a>something<\/a>. There have also been tabloid reports about music video filming going back to July. That might indicate the project is a visual album in the style of Beyonc\u00e9 or, more recently, Miley Cyrus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But after the Eras Tour Movie<\/a> premiered, fans noticed more filming at some of her concerts. That suggests the project could be a behind-the-scenes, making-of documentary. (The previous Swift doc, Lana Wilson\u2019s Miss Americana, similarly chronicled parts of the Reputation Tour and the making of Lover.) There\u2019s certainly a lot of ground to cover, between recently becoming the first artist to win four Album of the Year Grammys, buying back her album masters, getting engaged to Travis Kelce and becoming an unofficial NFL spokesperson, and making a new album with Max Martin in between Eras Tour concert dates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project likely isn\u2019t Swift\u2019s debut scripted feature<\/a> for Searchlight Pictures\u2014when would she have had the time to write, direct, and produce a full film with all that going on?!\u2014though nothing can be ruled out at this stage. Whatever it is, Swift may well have directed it, as she\u2019s been sitting in the director\u2019s chair more frequently in recent years. Elle<\/a> points out<\/a> that her website recently launched a \u201cDirected Projects\u201d section, which could foreshadow this new thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though AMC hasn\u2019t publicly commented, Deadline<\/a> says<\/a> that the theater chain is once again partnering with Swift for the release. In 2023, Swift circumvented the studios to release The Eras Tour directly with AMC. The pop star is reportedly pursuing PLFs (premium large format theaters) for the dates of October 3, 4, and 5 only, with a minimum of four showtimes a day. It\u2019s surely an evolving situation, since PLFs are already booked for a limited re-release of Avatar: The Way Of Water, Benny Safdie\u2019s The Smashing Machine<\/a> starring Dwayne Johnson, and the second week of Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s One Battle After Another<\/a> starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Swift is likely also in conversations with streaming services so that Swifties who don\u2019t manage to get tickets for that very limited window will be able to watch the project someday, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[UPDATE 12:30 pm]: Taylor Nation confirmed on Friday\u00a0Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party Of A Showgirl.\u00a0The theatrical event…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-155557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
