Featuring a massive 44-song setlist, it comes as no shock that not all of Taylor Swift's memorable moments from her Eras Tour were captured in the much-anticipated concert film.
Initially scheduled for release on Friday, October 13, the 33-year-old songstress surprised fans on Wednesday, October 11, by announcing that the Eras Tour movie would instead hit theaters a day earlier, on Thursday, October 12. As loyal Swifties rushed to their local cinemas, a discerning few couldn't help but notice the absence of a handful of pivotal moments from the live performance.
During each Eras Tour show, Swift commands the stage for slightly over three hours, yet the concert film captures it all in a two-hour and 48-minute runtime. Filmed over a three-day period at Los Angeles' So-Fi Stadium from August 3 to August 5, the movie premiere of the concert had Swift gracing the red carpet at the The Grove's AMC Theatre in L.A. On this occasion, she also took the time to visit all 13 theaters where the film was premiering, delivering a brief speech to the eager moviegoers.
"I wanted to take a moment to greet you before you embark on watching the film because truthfully, the reason why this tour was a magnificent adventure lies entirely in your devotion to this tour and these shows," Swift expressed to her fans, as captured in a video shared on social media. "I believe you will discover that you are undeniably a key character in the film, as it was your enchantment, attention to detail, sense of humor, and wholehearted embrace of my work and the music I create that truly shaped this experience."
