Taylor Swift has once more shattered the internet with the revelation of her Eras Tour movie concert, scheduled to hit cinemas this October.
On its initial day of ticket sales at AMC Theaters, the film pulled in a staggering $26 million, eclipsing the previous AMC record for single-day ticket sales set by Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Taylor Swift’s concert movie is on track to become the most lucrative concert film ever, potentially outperforming the $73 million grossed by Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.
Seeing as Taylor and Disney have worked together before, it’s reasonable to think that Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour might be available on Disney+ in the future. Read on for everything we know!
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Movie On Disney+?
Officially, there has been no confirmation that Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie concert will be available on Disney+ or any other streaming platforms, including Netflix, at this time.
The two frontrunner platforms for hosting the concert movie are Disney+ and Netflix. This speculation stems from Taylor Swift’s previous collaborations with both platforms, including the release of ‘Taylor Swift: Miss Americana’ on Netflix and ‘folklore: the long pond studio sessions’ on Disney+.
Many are leaning towards Disney+ being the most probable choice, owing to the speculation that the agreement Taylor Swift forged with Disney for ‘folklore: the long pond studio sessions’ might have been a multi-content deal. This would imply that Taylor is contractually obligated to deliver additional content for the platform.
Adding to the speculation is the exclusive scoop that Good Morning America, a show aired on the Disney-owned ABC network, had on the tour film. This development hints at an already established close relationship between Taylor Swift and Disney.
Disney+ has a well-established history of showcasing content featuring prominent musicians, including the likes of Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Idina Menzel, BTS, Elton John, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and U2, further pointing towards its suitability as a potential platform for the film.
Considering the substantial pre-sales figures for the concert movie, it seems likely that Swift’s team will “shop” the film to different streaming platforms. This would mean the streaming service ready to put forth the most lucrative offer stands a chance to bag the exclusive streaming rights to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film.
