Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour has taken social media by storm since its opening night in late March. Swifties and non-Swifties alike fought the infamous battle on Ticketmaster in hopes of being one of the lucky few to get tickets. After Ticketmaster crashed due to the incredibly high demand for tickets, many fans were left disappointed that they would not be able to witness the tour for themselves. From this, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” was born.
Many fans who were unable to attend the concert saw the movie as an opportunity to experience the concert, albeit in a nontraditional way, which was evident upon arriving at the theater. Tour merchandise and sparkly outfits were at every corner as moviegoers filed into the theater with their special Eras-Tour-movie popcorn buckets. You could truly feel the excitement in the air as everyone anticipated the beginning of the movie. The environment felt electric as the lights dimmed and everyone began cheering. Throughout the entire movie, everyone was singing along to the movie and enjoying themselves.
The movie itself was filmed beautifully — the quality was amazing and the cinematography captured the essence of the tour perfectly. I enjoyed how the movie emphasized the artistic elements of the concert that differentiate The Eras Tour from Swift’s previous concerts, many of which I did not notice while attending the concert. I was impressed by how seamlessly the footage was blended together, as the footage from three different nights was combined together to create the movie. Certain songs from the concert setlist were removed from the movie as well, a fact that the editing hid incredibly well.
“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is a great way for anyone who didn’t attend the concert to experience it for themselves, and it made for a fun and entertaining night.
