When And Where Will Swift’s “eras Tour” Projects Stream?
The “Final Show” concert film will debut on Disney+ on Dec. 12. The first two episodes of the six-part “Eras Tour” docuseries will also premiere on Disney+ on Dec. 12, with two additional episodes premiering weekly for the following two weeks.
What Records Did Swift Shatter With The “eras Tour?”
“The Eras Tour” is the highest-grossing concert tour in history, with $2.077 billion in total gross. The tour was the first to pass both the $1 billion and $2 billion marks. At the time Swift’s tour wrapped, the “Eras Tour” total gross was more than double the next highest-grossing tour in history, though Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” tour has since grossed $1.4 billion. The “Eras Tour” had an estimated attendance of 67,487 people per show, which Pollstar reported broke a record previously held by U2’s “360 Tour.” Swift sold more than 10 million tickets in total, which Pollstar reported is the most ever for a solo artist and the second most behind Coldplay, which has sold more than 12 million on its “Music of the Spheres” tour. The “Eras Tour” helped rocket Swift to billionaire status, making her the first person to join the billionaire ranks based solely on the value of her music catalog and concert tours.
Who Else Will Appear In The ‘eras Tour’ Documentary?
The trailer for the docuseries, which Swift unveiled on “Good Morning America,” includes footage of Swift curating the tour and recording music in a studio, with guest appearances from Swift’s various “Eras Tour” guest performers, including Gracie Abrams, Florence Welch, Ed Sheeran and Sabrina Carpenter.
Tangent
Swift announced her new film projects one week after she topped the North American box office with “Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” a theatrical release of a new music video, lyric videos and other footage commemorating her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” Swift’s film played in thousands of theaters, including all 540 AMC locations in the United States, and grossed $50 million worldwide. The film garnered a muted response from critics, with The Guardian giving it two stars and calling it a “lazy big screen cash-in” that offered “very little for even the most devoted of fans.” The “Showgirl” film was Swift’s second major foray into theaters after she released “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” in October 2023, a concert film depicting her Los Angeles shows from August of that year. The first “Eras Tour” film grossed $261 million worldwide.
How Is “life Of A Showgirl” Faring On The Charts?
“The Life of a Showgirl” quickly became Swift’s fastest-selling album and broke the record, previously held by Adele for a decade, to become the biggest first week for an album in history. Though Billboard has not yet reported Swift’s exact first-week sales, it said on Friday Swift had shattered Adele’s record of 3.4 million in album sales. In its first week of release, the album was streamed nearly half a billion times, Billboard reported. Swift is also likely to take over the Billboard Hot 100 with new songs, which Billboard will announce Monday.
