- Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour Movie are changing Hollywood forever. Swifties across the world experienced Taylor Swift's concert movie over the weekend, and the box office totals speak for themselves. Ever since the short film All Too Well released alongside Red: Taylor's Version, the singer/songwriter has been on my radar, especially with the announcement that her first feature film is on the way with Searchlight Pictures. Watch as I give my opinion on the movie, the tour, a groundbreaking deal with AMC theaters, why major studios like Universal, Disney, Warner Bros, and Netflix are upset, and what it means for the entertainment industry.

I would actually love to see Taylor turn Folklore and Evermore into a fantasy movie. She obviously could easily do it, and it would be a magical experience.
Folklore feels more like a TV show. If she picks up the characters from the teenage love triangle and unravel their lifes, I'm sure she can interconnected everything. I can imagine Illicit Affairs being about a grown up Augustine, I can imagine James' great-grandfather being the one in Epiphany, I can imagine This Is Me Trying being about James and Betty struggling with the process of growing up.
@@claudiabcarvalho a movie about Rebecca Harkness would be pretty cool tho
It sould be a limited series and every episode should be a different song
I'm a middle aged white guy with no kids. I have heard Taylor Swift songs here and there over the years, sometimes on the radio, thought she is a talented musician but wasn't a huge fan. This past week I went to see the Eras Tour in the theater on opening day, for a matinee. Firstly, what a show! I thought it was amazing. I'm a musician and have been a fan of many artists spanning nearly a century of pop, rock, and other genres. Taylor is an amazing songwriter and performer. Secondly, I'm now a fan, because as you say, she is a sharp business woman too. She's the man.
Personally I would love both if indie filmmakers could start making deals with movie theaters as well as to see more "live" concert experiences in the movie theater.
That is awesome, I am a 64-year-old fan and have been since her debut album.
That's awesome Jason! Happy you had such a great time and glad we feel the same way! If those deals start happening for indie films AND concert movies, we could be seeing a revolution in distribution. I appreciate the comment!
She's much more than the man. She's the Woman.
glad to hear you had a great time! the footage of fans dancing and singing in theaters is an incredible sight.
I just wanted to pop in and say that there is huge potential screening virtual concerts in movie theaters.
With the use of Zoom and Audiomovers, we take audio and video signals coming from musicians rehearsing at home … and we screen this LIVE performance inside a movie theater. it’s like the screen is a window looking into the musicians room while they’re performing 🎶
Have a question. Would you go to the Beyoncé concert movie?
So not only is Taylor changing the music industry, she is changing the movie industry. I love her.
Changing the music industry? That's like saying Apple is changing the world of computers.
@@evacody1249your comparison makes sense, however it also shows me you don’t what I mean by how she’s changing it, or maybe a better word would be helping it, and other artist.
Taylor Swift is so blessed that she has the combined talent and skills. That's why she's a very successful businesswoman.
She's gotta save some for the rest of us hahaha
Seeing Taylor have movie theaters show her movie instead of putting it straight to streaming services like what happens most of the time when someone releases a concert movie (including herself in the past with the movie she did for her Reputation tour) these days makes me so happy.
It's what the fans deserve! Thank you for the comment!
Your happy you get to pay for it instead of releasing it on streaming for way less money? You realize shes just doing this to make herself money right? Its not for her fans.
fave album folklore...that's taste
Some people may doubt it, but I have some every once in a while 😮
Plus, liking so it goes...? that's taste on taste
@@bumblecat28 agreed
All the songs sound the same on that album :(
@@lillb643No 🩷
She has the boldness that those Hollywood execs lack. While they're like "What's trending? Let's do that" and and producing the next Oscarbaiting movie picture, while underestimating people's intelligence, Taylor be like "how can I convince people to come onboard with my ideas?", and that's the reason why she keeps on winning.
Taylor love rewards, but she also loves being loved by people. She'll never say "you don't like my work because you don't understand geniuses"; instead, she'll say something like "I failed to build the bridges between me, the critics and the public, I'll do better next time". She doesn't want to be cult, she wants to be popular and understood. That's the major difference between her and most male directors.
And those 2 aspects are powerful when combined.
Yes, she even addressed this in one of her old interviews. If her any album didn't get nomination or an award and the interviewer asked, "Is she feeling sad about it. She said, "I didn't win" might be because my record was not up to it. Next time, I'll improve more and more. Makes her more competitive and successful artist.
I’m pretty sure all the hate she received during her early career forced her to deal with harsh criticism, and that led to her being completely unapologetic about what she wants to try nowadays… and it’s obviously paying off ❤
Denying Taylor Swifts talent and influence and innovative creativity would be insane. I’d say I’m only a 30% “Swiftie” but this woman’s fandom is powerful, so anything she ends up making would be a blockbuster, and force other filmmakers to possibly adapt simply due to that. Hopefully she starts some actual trends that film companies can latch on to (also ‘So it goes’ is my favourite of hers it’s so underrated, I wasn’t expecting to hear it was yours too.)
Idk if it's intentional but Taylor knows how to keep her name in the press. Only playing the movie on weekends causes each weekend to feel like an event that you can't miss.
Not true, the movie is on week days too. Cinema I work at has it playing every day of the week.
@harmony8623 mine plays it from Thursday to Sunday! They miss out the days fhe 2 for one ticket offer is on at tho.. wonder if they did it on purpose 👀
@@harmony8623well that’s nice for you, majority is being played on weekends tho so maybe your cinemas is one of the lucky few that gets it everyday.
I was in the Show on Thursday 🧍🏼
I saw it with my daughter last night. The cinematography was amazing. The camerawork was top-notch. And the audio engineering was astonishing.
I love that with her influence, she sets out to change what's not right or fair about the industries she's in. Whether that be her spotify boycott, suing someone for a dollar, rerecording her music or - now - the theatres! Not to mention she paid everyone fairly and met all of the other strike demands. She's a rule breaker for the better and I love it.
I hope this opens another door for other stories to see the light. Studios are focusing a lot on remakes/reboots/spin offs with the esame formula... Boring. They just can't let franchises die.
I'm excited for new/other stories.
Just like a long time ago musicians needed big labels to distribute their music and now they can do it themselves within the digital platforms, now it's time for Cinema.
Great way of looking at it Alberto! I didn't even think about it that way, wish I did before making this video because that is a killer line haha! Appreciate the comment man!
Kpop artist did concert movie in cinema since decade ago.
I heard somewhere that she DID go to a movie studio and the execs told her to wait until the end of her tour because her fans would choose to go to her concerts instead of the theater, resulting in low ticket sales and a big financial risk for the movie studios. That’s when she signed a deal with AMC.
Couple of quick thoughts: 1) The traditional studios did know this project was in the works as they'd had discussions about it with Taylor and her management team. From what I remember the main sticking point was the release schedule with studios wanting to put it out after the tour was done (though I'm sure financial issues and creative control were likely in there too). What they didn't know about was the deal with AMC until the day of announcement.
2) Outside of a very small handful of people I can't see this model working unless the cinema companies REALLY up their game on distribution and, more importantly, marketing. Promoting this release was the easiest gig in history: picture of Taylor next to "Taylor Swift, Eras Tour, throw credit card at screen for tickets" and jobs a good 'un. It's not as if the various chat shows etc need an excuse to book her either. Very different story for those without that sort of clout.
Ultimately what's going to be really interesting is seeing how much risk the cinema chains are willing to take on. They've always been in the awkward position of being middle-men, reliant on Hollywood for their product and that business model has been under threat for a while now. Do they take the risk of effectively becoming mini-studios knowing that they could easily find themselves locked out of potentially lucrative releases either from the traditional studios or, indeed, other cinema chains? Let's face it there are hundreds of independent films looking for distibution deals every year as it is, that's nothing new. The question is whether someone takes the gamble or not....
Great points right here! I could have sworn I heard the same thing where she brought it up to studios before that passed on it for now, but I couldn't find any articles about it while researching so I didn't want to bring it up in case I was wrong lol, but if that's the case I like that even MORE for AMC, cause it's like "Of course we'll take it!". It's definitely a very different type of model that I think would only work for very specific types of projects from bigger directors or actors, but I think it could develop into something. If Christopher Nolan wanted to make another smaller film like Memento, it might not do Eras Tour numbers, but I'm sure it's still a damn good movie that is profitable on a small enough budget. Either way, it's at least a little bit of hope! Thanks for the comment!
Actually advertising only comes a little bit from the cinema itself. Majority of the advertising comes from the distributors of the movie. And unfortunately they don’t really advertise anywhere but in cities, because they don’t see it doing anything when it makes all the difference. I work at an independent cinema where advertising from us can only span from our website and posters inside the venue. Distributors don’t send us any merchandise like other cinemas because of their absurd requirements that mean only high-end cinemas and chain cinemas can get merch. Barely anyone in my town has heard anything of Blue Beetle so we got barely anyone seeing it in the last few weeks. Whereas the city cinema 30 mins away was near full capacity because of advertising in cities and not in non-cities.
while what @harmony8623 said is true in regards to what you got wrong- you had the right idea- and to add to that i feel like while this is “big” it isn’t as big unless others start to adapt the same thing like you stated- otherwise it’s just what taylor does and not actually changing the industry.
Taylor Swift has earned ger way to STARDOM on so many levels. she has talent, she works hard, she learns from her life lessons, she has a great support system, she treats others with respect and kindness, and she gives back. thank you for giving her the recognition she has earned...💙
And on top of all this she's pretty.
I love that the movie made her concert accessible to lots more people. It was shockingly so much better than the live show, so many great details and dance moves I couldn't see from my seat
Folklore is just another aspect of Taylor’s creativity. They are all good. That’s why the Era’s Tour is so successful.
She's got the looks, talent, even business savvy, there's no stopping her
And a dad who manages her business, I say this because, the role of parents, the only 100% trustable people in this chaotic world is immense l
So it goes is a masterpice and deserve more respect
That's right Lara!
She is a smart business woman and yes you are right. It will be a coming of age movie 🍿 or really sad movie.
Or both lol
I'm 71 and not what you would have called a Taylor Swift fan. That's changed, as I have been watching interviews and some songs by her on TH-cam and she appears to be the genuine article. She obviously appreciates and cares about her fans, as much as they do her.
I just had to pause the video to say that "So it Goes" is my favorite song from Reputation! My co-workers and I were just naming our favorite song from each album! Glad to find someone else who agrees.
And what’s also amazing is she has a deal with Disney to direct a feature film. Seems our girls isn’t satisfied just taking over music. ❤
king energy ONLY
I would be uneducated on the topic without ya!
Folklore turned me into a complete fan during the pandemic, I’m so glad to hear that album’s name
i wasn't a fan of swift but the concert was great to see in a theater. the sound was awesome and she's a natural entertainer.
I’m a 70 year old man (with all my brain function BTW) I could list iconic band after iconic band I’ve seen in concert. I sat in the back row of the IMAX theater and wiped tears from eyes for most of it. Beautiful, powerful, performance. I was so ready for Bruce Springsteen to stop playing after three hours, but not her. I was ready for more. I’m hoping the DVD or streaming version includes the few missing concert songs🤞You did a very good job outlining what a remarkable woman she is and will continue to be. Her business moves bring me such joy. If getting old didn’t suck so bad I’d really like to stick around and watch it unfold.
This not just about Taylor Swift, this is about the important messages she dearly carries and beautifully delivers!!!
As a business woman, she knows that no company is going to turn down the buying power of Swifties and that’s smart, but it basically makes her untouchable unless she turns out to be a terrible person and this has all been an act.
David here from Sebring Florida I been a movie fan for over fifty years and I thought your review of Taylor was very well done. I been a fan of Taylor ever since I saw the Shake It Off video.
I don’t know every song she has done but I have liked what I have heard. I was very lucky to go to the 1989 live tour and I was very impressed!
A night I will never forget! I was very impressed with the new tour movie too!
She is so smart and humble, I really like that about her. She was very clever to use social media to get close to her fans. I am so glad for her that she haven’t fallen into the pitfalls of show business. Her parents must be so proud of her! I am proud of her and I don’t even know her personally. She must be thinking of a major film to team up with a studio. I look forward to seeing what she does next 😊
in brazil we have been doing that for decades, i grew up with bands artists releasing dvd with their live performances instead of studio albuns and thats how we consumed media back then
it was quite different than nowadays
Im not a swiftie but my sister wanted to me to go watch the movie with her for her birthday and wow the production, her music and just the fans. It was such an experience seeing everyone get together, my theatre had all these little girls dancing on the stage and it makes me feel so happy that she’s representation for these young women. I’m a swiftie now
Every visual product is cinema in a way. Concert, story, documentary - doesn’t matter. Taylor is amazing. Same as you, I never really cared, but I also now have become a fan of the artist and the business woman.
If studios are all in on streaming, then the theater chains will have to do something to try and stave off extinction. Hosting events like the Eras Tour feels like the inevitable outcome.
Nice! Everyone is able to see her concert for a fraction of the cost and without having to travel far. Excellent idea!
Taylor swift is both brave and resilient. Her ability to stay grounded and real, is incredible.
great review 👍👍👍
..well i dont know what her feature film gonna be like or about what but one thing i do know is that she's truly a great creative creator, maybe even a genius. So whatever the film gonna be, it gonna be great coz the term 'average' is not in her vocab + she NEVER EVER dissapoint her fans...
💙💙💙💙💙
I have to get average out of my vocab cause I love that haha! Appreciate the comment!
It is giving all the fans that hadn't been able to get tickets to still feel like a part of the experience ❤❤. I am so glad that she has dine this foe us
Nice vid man. The prospects this potentially opens up actually gets me excited. Can't say I've ever been interested in TS so all of this was completely off my radar. But if this all goes the way you just predicted then mad respect to the woman.
Thanks for the comment Bryan and hope everything is going great! She's just gotten on my radar over the past year and the more I dive into how she handles her career and albums, I love the potential she has as a film director. Hopefully we all become fans of her if that directional debut is as good as I think it could be!
Great video. Intelligent conversation.
She is definitely changing many industries/ the corp world.
"Fund it yourself" is a fun sentence until it stands for 100-400 million dollars... And the thing to remember is that there is no guarantee you are going to get your money back. For small films releasing without a big studio is business as usual and there is only the production company or a couple of them involved who handle the process of getting the financing.
Eras tour movie has no where near the budget of a normal production. Most of the art direction has already been done... for the tour. The performers are hired, trained and preforming... for the tour (excluding some bonus they might get from the movie/extra work hours). Marketing has been done... for the tour (at least I have not seen any paid ads for the Eras Tour Movie). And the main performer does not have to pay for herself 😂.
Also AMC knew the Eras Tour movie 100% would sell at least enough to be financially profitable for them.
Oh and the sets are built... for the tour.
Thanks for that! It was a really fun piece, and informative in many ways. And I think you're right, and Taylor's first feature will be a romantic coming-of-age story. And if I had to bet, it will end tragically. :)
I love how you said "I became a fan of Taylor Swift the artist!" 👌
I saw it on opening night with my older sister it was an amazing experience
folklore has no skips
It's that good!
Sam and Colby, paranormal investigation TH-camrs, just did something similar with a new series they have made about spending a full week at the conjuring house. They worked with cinemarks aroud the US and brought the first episode of the series straight to the big screen, and even though it’s a much smaller thing, long playing for one day, i looked and my local theater is already sold out. That said, I won’t be surprised if we start seeing more films and creators taking this route when it comes to films
Those stats are mind blowing
AND I can't imagine how much her first movie makes opening weekend...
Great video! Very insightful. Love that Taylor Swift has so much power in the music industry and making waves in every field!
OMG!!! ❤❤❤ So It Goes is my number 2 fav Taylor song! So glad someone else shows it love too... so cool to let your girlfriend open the Swiftie door for you and not being too cool to walk through it!!!
Going in i did not think this was going to be the outcome but he’s more a Swifty than I️ am at this point 👏🏽👏🏽
Happy to give you a like. Yep. I came for Taylor. Great video!
Id love to see her live, sadly can’t afford it!
Great video! Loved the commentary.
She deserves everything she's getting ❤
Very nicely done!
this is a really great vid! subscribed here!
1:05 so it goes stans RISE
I am here ✋
@@chaseazarian most underrated song (eyes open gives it a run for its money but yea)
This was great! Thanks. ❤
Like her music or not one can’t deny she’s a smart business person.
Good video!!!
She's got the $$$...she's got the fans...and she's in the process of getting the experience. A person like that really could make that much of a difference. As the saying goes..."You go Girl!"
my favourite song is also so it goes, you're so real for that!!!
Concert in a theater seems like a dope thing to start
MY FAV SONG ON REPUTATION IS "SO IT GOES" I AM A SWIFTIE AND THAT SONG IS UNDERRATED AF, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO THINKS LIKE ME
Same
YESSS ANOTHER SO IT GOES FAN!!!
Folklore and So It Goes? A man of taste and class I see 😂❤
I love that she caused so many thousands of people to register to vote!
I loved when marketing departments become the casting directors
fantastic commentary! I need more to sub
So It Goes acoustic live version is a religious experience 😭🙏
A fellow lover of SO IT GOES!!!!!!! We are are rare breed.
Good video. I am recently a Taylor convert, after my 12 year old daughter got into her. Watched her documentary on Netflix and was really impressed. I hope she does direct, because if she's done so many music videos so far and liked it, I feel like she's like and be good at a full-on movie.
And we need more women directors and more young directors.
insightful
Thanks for giving her the credit she richly deserves
"So it goes" good song and I like that mention it that song has good vibe thank god I'm not the only one.
So It Goes...this man has taste
Finally a fellow so it goes stan
That’s my star, changing industries after industries, one at a time! ❤️
She gave huge bonuses to her crew. example. Truck drivers got 100,000 each isnt that cool.... Love her with Travis. She finally has a real man, who feels its part of his place to protect you, he sees you as a gem. So happy for you Taylor.
I have so much respect for you since you said So It Goes… is your favorite! Like l love this song but I feel like it didn’t get the credit it deserves!
Good people deserve good things.
I would’ve never expected for someone to say that so it goes is their favorite song
I took my granddaughter to the Eras movie and thoughtfully enjoyed it! I grew up (Gen x) going to concerts, but this was a great way to watch a concert! The real deal is better, but the movie concert was pretty damn cool 😎
I saw the movie. It was great. I can't wait to see more movie concerts.
Delicate and The Man❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For all the things that Taylor does, she has learned from her mistakes, and has very quickly morphed into a marketing genius! Her vision and ability to oversee all aspects of her brand is truly amazing! Scooter Braun awoke the beast and now Taylor rules! You won't see me at a Taylor Swift concert, but she has all of my respect! What a great role model she is for up and coming artists, and all young people growing up!
so it goes is one of my favorites from reputation
Glad you feel the same Mauricio! Thanks for the comment!
Yaaaaas Queen !!!
Fav album folklore and ur fav song is So It Goes??? Damn that's some taste!!
No but fr why is So It Goes so underatted 😭
Good for you Taylor
....I love this ⚘️❤️⚘️❤️
A fan since her first album and still. Nothing else but her great self.
Patrick Wilhelm has a great video about Taylor Swift as a director. There's a limited body of work there, but enough for him to dig into.
I'm not a Swiftie, but I'm interested in seeing The Eras tour movie,
My sister and I just saw this in theaters last night. ❤it was amazing 😻 she’s so talented and beautiful
But there was only 4 of us in the theatre lol
She’s the man 😉 🙌👏
SO IT GOES APPRECIATION
I used to not like so it goes. It was the only reputation song I didn’t immediately like. It has since grown on me and probably my favorite rep song
I would love that to happen!
Incredible personal branding. It just shows the next level since Paris Hilton became a personal brand
YES A SO IT GOES STAN
Taylor Swift is the entertainment industry at this point
I dunno
