Lights, camera, action: The life of a showgirl never stops.
After conquering the box office in late 2023 with her Eras Tour concert film, Taylor Swift has announced she'll return to the big screen next month with "Release Party of a Showgirl," a movie theater experience happening the same weekend as the release of her forthcoming studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.
"I hereby invite you to a *dazzling* soirée, the Official Release Party of a Showgirl: Oct 3 to Oct 5 only in cinemas," wrote Swift in an Instagram post announcing the three-day event.
Like her last foray into theaters, "Release Party of a Showgirl," isn't some left-hand turn into arthouse filmmaking. Instead, it's inextricably tied to Swift's music. "You’ll get to see the exclusive world premiere of the music video for my new single 'The Fate of Ophelia,' along with never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage of how we made it, cut-by-cut explanations of what inspired this music, and the brand new lyric videos from my new album The Life of a Showgirl ❤️🔥," Swift writes.
Almost immediately after Swift announced the screenings at AMC, Cinemark, and Regal theaters, all three sites experienced wait times and even crashes as Swifties descended upon the digital box offices. Fandango took the better part of an hour to get its listings online.
Runtime is listed at approximately 89 minutes, and ticket costs vary by theater. According to Swift's post, the film will only screen in theaters from October 3 through 5, but Swifties will remember she surprised fans by adding Thursday night screenings of the Eras Tour film at the last minute, and later put it on Disney+. The woman loves surprises.
