What is Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour about?
It’s about Tay-tay’s staggeringly long 146-date Eras Tour, that’s what.
Or, as the official synopsis enthusiastically tells us: “The cultural phenomenon continues on the big screen with a cinematic view of Taylor Swift’s history-making tour. Eras attire and friendship bracelets are strongly encouraged. This film documents the Eras Tour, Swift’s on-going 2023-2024 series of concerts – 146 dates across five continents – which has turned into a cultural phenomenon thanks to outrageous ticket sales and rabid fans. The tour is predicted to be the highest grossing ever, reaching an estimated $US 1 billion in revenue. The documentary was filmed over three performances at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.”
Look, it’s a concert film. There’ll be songs.

What are the critics saying about Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour?
If ever a film was critic-proof it’s this one. But as it turns out, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has earned incredible plaudits from those in our rarefied field, who are calling it one of the greatest concert films of all time – right up there with Stop Making Sense. So even if you don’t number yourself among the pop princess’s legions of faithful fans, maybe carve out three hours (well, 169 minutes) for Tay-tay’s opus. It’s unarguably one of the landmark cultural events of 2023.
