After a two-month hiatus, Taylor Swift is back on the road with the European leg of the Eras Tour. This time, there are songs from the new album, The Tortured Poets Department, and some splashy new outfits (see below.) There will be 18 cities on the list of tour stops, and already reports are circulating of a heavy U.S. fan presence at the shows.
Swift took the stage at La Défense Arena in Paris tonight about 8 p.m. (2 p.m. Et), heralded with a countdown clock and the Lesley Gore song You Don’t Own Me. She began her Lover set with Miss Americana.
New songs for the tour included So High School, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, But Daddy I Love Him, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, Down Bad, and Fortnight.

Taylor Swift has conquered the world of music, and it's long been rumored that the next step in her career is the movies.
She has her own eponymous production company, for one. In 2020, she starred in the documentary "Miss Americana," and in 2021, she directed a short film adapting her song "All Too Well," starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien. Aside from a handful of supporting roles in several films, she also took the 2023 box office by storm with the "Eras Tour" concert film.
Swift has a passionate fanbase, one that is famous for finding (or creating) supposedly hidden messages across her lyrics. Now, her newly released 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department," has whipped up a new Swiftie theory.
The last track of "The Tortured Poets Department" — "Clara Bow" — concludes with the line: "The future's bright and dazzling." Fans jumped to the obvious conclusion; of course, Swift is hinting to...

Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department has been breaking records and has taken over the world despite having been out for only a day. On top of the originally announced 16 songs, the artist released 15 more, making it a double album release and making fans’ heads spin. There have been a lot of mentions in the project about her personal life, which naturally comes with songwriting. While none have been confirmed, fans believe Joe Alwyn, Travis Kelce, and Matty Healy to be the muses of certain songs.

When it comes to celebrities and public figures, it is safe to say that Taylor Swift is as high-profile as one can get. On top of having one of the most successful tours of all time with her Eras Tour, she is one of the most influential figures in the world. This sort of recognition and attention always comes at a cost.
There is a common Hollywood curse of celebrities who are at the highest of fame, getting scrutinized by the media and Swift is no stranger to this. Unfortunately, often times a lot can go wrong and people end up getting hurt.

It has recently been reported that her father, Scott Kingsley Swift, was accused of punching a paparazzi while he and his daughter were in Sydney, Australia. The matter has become so serious that the usually reserved singer’s team has issued a statement.

British filmmaker Matthew Vaughn’s helmed a gonzo fantasy with a cross-dressing Robert De Niro, a vigilante superhero flick with a foul-mouthed, killer kid, and a delirious spin on Bond with Colin Firth. But Argylle, his $200 million globe-trotting espionage thriller, has proven to be his most divisive film yet.
The film follows Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), a novelist/homebody whose series of spy books about Aubrey Argylle (Henry Cavill) have captured the public’s imagination. One day, she encounters an actual superspy, Aidan (Sam Rockwell), on a train who...

Update: There’s a reason that attacks on Taylor Swift continued throughout the day today: She’s a celebrity guaranteed to drive web traffic, particularly to right-wing media figures advancing ever more outlandish conspiracy theories. For much of today, social media focused on figures like Jack Posobiec and Benny Johnson, who benefit from the attention even if it’s to try to discredit them.
While a Swift endorsement of Joe Biden may very well hold enough sway to be of concern to Donald Trump’s campaign, the fixation on cooking up conspiracy theories about her has more to do with what draws attention in a hyper-competitive universe of voices on the right.
Erick Erickson, the conservative commentator, wrote on X/Twitter, “Let me explain what is actually going on with these hucksters, charlatans, and grifters on the right. They don’t believe it. They hope you might believe it. They...

Pharrell Williams is turning his life into a Lego movie, courtesy of Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville and Focus Features.
Grammy-winning and Academy Award-nominated multi-hyphenate icon Williams announced the project on Instagram, captioning, “Who would’ve thought that playing with Legos as a kid would evolve into a movie about my life. It’s proof that anyone else can do it too… #PieceByPiece.”
The film will be released October 11 in theaters and is billed as an “unparalleled motion picture experience” that pairs Williams’ vision with Lego.
The official synopsis reads: “Uninterested in making a traditional film about his life, Pharrell set out to tell his story in a way that would set audience’s imaginations free. Developed from his singular vision, ‘Piece by Piece’ defies genres and expectations to transport audiences into a Lego world where anything is possible.”

During the episodes, contestants were challenged to answer questions in categories titled “Love Story,” “Our Song,” “Bad Blood,” “Shake It Off,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” and “The Errors Tour.” While the questions were not Swift-related, the categories referred to multiple hit songs, as well as her blockbuster Eras Tour, which will resume later this year.

“Look Into My Eyes” opens with an unexpectedly sobering, even provocative encounter for a documentary about New York City psychics and their clientele: not a fanciful palm reading or a conjuring of a lost loved one, but an attempt to reckon with long-festering professional trauma. A middle-aged female doctor, sharply dressed, talks directly to camera — or rather, to the mystic sitting silently behind it — about the time, as a junior doctor on the emergency ward, she attended to a 10-year-old girl who was shot upon leaving church, and died of her wounds in hospital. The tragedy hasn’t left her mind in the 20 intervening years; seeking closure, she resorts to most unscientific methods. Can the psychic reach the young victim, she asks, and find out if she’s at peace?
Viewers will react in a variety of ways to this odd, upsetting request. Some may find it poignant, others thoroughly unseemly,...

Ask enough people what they think about psychics and clairvoyants, and you’ll probably get eye-rolls. Whether referencing the storefront tarot readers or the more seriously minded seers who perform seances and communicate with those who have transitioned into the afterlife, the impression of this spiritual trade is generally disbelief. What’s unique about director Lana Wilson’s latest documentary, which primarily highlights seven psychics living in various parts of New York City, is that it never aims to persuade you against that reaction. In this deeply moving, compassionate exploration, determining whether this small and goofy group actually has real powers is beside the point.
In order for Look Into My Eyes to work, you need a director capable of establishing trust and understanding––mostly so the movie’s subjects know their oft-ridiculed, doubted work won’t be set up for another punchline. After a series of documentaries spent capturing...

I am not a “spiritual person.” I only believe in God during bumpy flights and New York Rangers playoff games, I only go to temple to make my mother happy, and I only believe in life after death because the movies — photographs and video of any kind, really — allow us to summon our most beloved ghosts at will. In that light, it should come as no surprise that I’ve never placed much faith in the work of psychics or seers, even though New York seems to have two storefront fortune tellers for every Starbucks. And yet, I suppose it should also come as no surprise that only a movie could have the power to convince me otherwise, or at least to make me better appreciate the nature of what psychics do and the mutual need they share with the people who turn to them for peace of mind.

Lana Wilson’s new documentary “Look Into My Eyes” casts a sympathetic view of an oft-mocked part of society: psychics and the clients who trust them. The feature debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday at the Egyptian Theater in Park City, and was followed by a Q&a with Wilson, producer Kyle Martin, editor Hannah Buck and four of the featured psychics.
During the film, which consists of consultations between psychics and their clients, as well as diving into the personal lives of the psychics themselves, emotions were up and down as the mediums acted as de facto therapists to many people who didn’t know where to turn. For example, one psychic is an expert on communicating with animals, which drew initial chuckles from the audience until the clients explained how their companions would help them manage an abusive relationship, or be a lifeline for loneliness.

If you’ve been online recently, you might have seen a rumor that Taylor Swift is the mysterious author of a novel.
A subset of Swifties became convinced that the 34-year-old “Anti-Hero” pop star wrote the spy novel Argylle, which inspired a new star-studded movie featuring the likes of Dua Lipa and Henry Cavill.
In an interview, the movie’s director Matthew Vaughn nipped the rumor in the bud. However, he did confirm that Taylor inspired the forthcoming movie in a very specific way.

Matthew Vaughn has shut down rumours Taylor Swift secretly wrote 'Argyle'.The 52-year-old director has weighed in on the notion the 'Anti-Hero' hitmaker could be the person behind the Elly Conway pseudonym for the mysterious first time author, whose identity remains a secret.However, Vaughn told Rolling Stone magazine: "I’m not a big internet guy, and it was actually my daughter who came up to me — this is the power of celebrity and the internet — and said, ‘You never told me Taylor wrote the book!’“And I’m looking at her going, ‘What are you talking about Taylor Swift wrote the book? She didn’t write the book!’"And I was laughing because I was like, ‘It’s not true! She didn’t write the book!’ But my daughter was convinced of it.”The script for the movie was written Jason Fuchs, based on a yet to be released novel by Conway,...

Taylor Swift is many things: a pop sensation, producer, actor, songwriter, football fan, and more. Do you know what she’s not? T-Swift is not the mysterious author behind the Argylle novel that inspired Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming spy thriller for Apple. Rumors about Tay-Tay being the author “Elly Conway,” a pseudonym for the writer whose manuscript paved the way for the reported 200 million dollar deal for the film rights, have been swirling on social media for months.
Argylle stars Bryce Dallas Howard as Elly Conway, a reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie.

But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books — which center on secret agent Argylle (Henry Cavill) and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate — begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet...

Taylor Swift is not the mysterious author behind the “Argylle” book that served as the inspiration for Apple’s upcoming spy thriller from director Matthew Vaughn. Conspiracy theories have circulated on social media for months alleging Swift is the author “Elly Conway,” a pseudonym for the writer whose manuscript was apparently so astonishing that it led to a reported $200 million deal for the film rights. Screenwriter Jason Fuchs adapted Conway’s book into Vaughn’s movie.
Elly Conway is also the main character played by Bryce Dallas Howard in Vaughn’s film, which centers on an introverted spy author who gets roped into a real life game of espionage after her books start hitting too close to a home for global crime syndicate. The identity of the real “Elly Conway” has been a mystery since “Argylle” was first announced in August 2021. The book was only recently published on Jan. 9.

Have you heard the latest conspiracy theory being peddled by the Swifties? Because it’s a doozy.
According to Taylor Swift’s online fandom, the pop superstar somehow found time in between the Eras Tour (and its the subsequent box-office smash of a documentary), rerecording her albums, and traveling across the U.S. to watch her beau Travis Kelce catch footballs, to pen a spy novel called Argylle, which has been adapted into a blockbuster movie starring the likes of Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, Ariana DeBose, John Cena,...

A class being offered at Harvard on Taylor Swift next semester is officially titled “English 183ts. Taylor Swift and Her World.” A critic who will teach the course has revealed why it is worthy of study.
But when her class was announced last month, many began to wonder out loud if a “millennial pop star deserves this kind of treatment at a world-class university.”
Stephanie Burt, a literary critic who will teach the course at Harvard, penned a convincing argument in The Atlantic and deftly argued that students “benefit from studying art that they love — art new and old, art in many genres,” reports etonline.com.
It’s not the first time a Swift class is available at an institution of higher learning. Stanford, NYU and the University of Texas at Austin are just some of the universities offering similar courses.

Over the course of the past three years in particular, every moment in which you started to think Taylor Swift couldn’t get any bigger than she already was, the magnitude of her celebrity expanded three times its size. In 2023, that expansion ballooned even larger in the face of albums both old and new and an international stadium tour that completely flattened Ticketmaster’s infrastructure. It placed her on top of the world, and as she is named Time‘s Person of the Year, Swift reflects in a rare interview...

With its seventh weekend numbers tallied, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has topped the $250M global benchmark. At $250.01M per AMC, the split is a little over $178.2M domestic with $71.8M coming from the international box office.
The highest-grossing concert film ever domestically began worldwide rollout in mid-October, opening to $92.8M in North America for the second-best domestic start for October after Joker, a fantastic debut for a movie that cost between $10M-$20M. At open overseas, it launched to $30.7M from 94 markets in 4,527 venues for a global bow of $123.5M.
Playing across weekends throughout its run, the current frame added another $2.3M domestically and $1.1M in 36 overseas markets. It’s currently the No. 10 film of the year domestically and 19th among U.S. films globally.

This has been Taylor Swift’s year. Everything, and everyone, she touches seems to turn to gold.
Swift’s net worth crossed the $1 billion mark on the back of this year’s success, and her “Eras Tour” could be more accurately called the “Records Tour” because of all the records she broke. It is currently the second-highest-grossing tour of all time and looks set to surpass Elton John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour next year. The concert film currently in theaters, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” set the record for the biggest opening weekend for a concert film, raking in $96 million in its first four days. What’s more, “The Eras Tour” still doesn’t have a streaming deal and is poised to be a major get for whichever service Swift decides to make the film’s home.

There are many "Taylor's Version" tracks fans are looking forward to hearing when "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" is finally released, but one of the most anticipated has to be "Getaway Car." Taylor Swift wrote the track with her friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff; in fact, an iPhone video of them writing the bridge was featured in the 2020 documentary "Miss Americana" and became a meme in its own right. When Swift finally sang the song during the surprise set of her Eras tour in May, she brought out Antonoff to sing it with her (pictured), a sweet tribute to the song's genesis. But then there's the song itself, and who fans think it's about: namely, Swift's ex Tom Hiddleston.
The song's lyrics seem to not only reference Swift's relationship with Hiddleston - which made headlines in the summer and early fall of 2016 - but also her split from boyfriend Calvin Harris, who...

To be fair, I feel like a stranger in a stranger land entering the first screening (6pm) of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Screen 9 at a North London Vue cinema is about to be transformed into the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. I am surrounded by faded Taylor tees, the oldest person here by country miles. The running time is 168 minutes, an epic journey through the ten epochs of Swift’s output. I’m not sure I’m ready.
I knew next to nothing about Taylor Swift before being asked to review this (the sum of my knowledge ran to something about ‘a fella over there with hella good hair’) so did a crash course in Swiftology via Spotify and Netflix. I am always a sucker for a cultural swoon — this started with being ten in 1977 when Star Wars came out— so was fascinated to see why the world is...

Updated: Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour may have missed the century mark in regards to a domestic opening, but the 12x Grammy winner was always guaranteed that number worldwide, with AMC reporting this Am that the Sam Wrench-directed concert pic has racked up $126M-$130M. The international box office opening is estimated at $31M-$33M. AMC is reporting a range à la North America; this the first time the circuit has handled a global theatrical-day-and-date release of this magnitude. Note, we never saw this hitting $200M WW; overseas was always going to be light and at this point remains at the lower-end of expectations.
AMC is calling the domestic opening between $95M-$97M today, however, rival studios see it lower at $94.3M. At the latter level, it’s the second best opening for October Stateside. Anything north of Joker‘s $96.2M stateside debut is an October domestic opening record.

In her Miss Americana documentary, Taylor Swift talks extensively about how she spent much of her career hyperfocused on external validation. At times, her need to please others — her family and friends, the music industry, and even complete strangers — came at the detriment of her own well-being.
That doesn’t appear to be the case anymore.
Just like the live concert (and possibly even more so), Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is a complete celebration of her impressive 17-year career that puts Swift’s joy on full display and highlights that, perhaps for the first time, she is taking the stage for no one but herself.
And, of course, her fans — who she called a “main character” in the concert film while introducing it to audiences at The Grove in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening. She wasn’t lying.

'Eras Tour' Movie Set List: Surprise Songs Revealed, Multiple Songs Missing From Taylor Swift's Film
Taylor Swift is bringing her Eras Tour to movie theaters around the world and the set list is actually a bit different than what fans saw during the live show.
The 33-year-old singer has been performing for more than three hours throughout the tour, with some shows reaching 3.5 hours or more. The movie clocks in at just around two hours and 48 minutes, so some content had to be cut.
Taylor‘s speeches in between songs have been cut down by a little bit and the transition visuals in between eras are almost non-existent, but the biggest change is the missing songs.
So, what’s the set list for the movie?

“Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” is already on track to be among the biggest theatrical titles for the rest of 2023 — and that’s already ruffling some Hollywood feathers.
With box office analysts already projecting a possible $100 million-plus opening, the filmed concert documentary is exactly what theaters ordered to maintain momentum following a “Barbenheimer”-fueled summer movie season. The big surprise is that the film, produced with a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement, will be released directly via AMC and participating theaters, with no studio involvement.
“It’s scary that Taylor Swift can come in and become a hit without using conventional marketing routes,” Bruce Nash, founder and publisher of box-office data site The Numbers, told TheWrap.
Adding to the unsettling feeling is the fact that legacy studios made a play for the concert film, only to get rebuffed, which might explain the sour grapes.

If you’re looking for recent movies about the uniquely harrowing experience of female perfectionism, there’s the Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana, Lauren Hadaway’s gut-punching feature debut The Novice, and now Backspot, the debut feature from Canadian DJ and director D. W. Waterson. Backspot has all the trappings of an impactful story, putting capable actors like Devery Jacobs and Evan Rachel Wood in the pressure cooker of competitive cheerleading. Unfortunately, this movie is far more concerned with bassy beats and showy camerawork than it is with making a point.
Our protagonist is Riley (Jacobs), a neurotic backspot who gets recruited into an elite squad, the Thunderhawks, just before a big competition. Together with her girlfriend Amanda (Kudakwashe Rutendo) and friend Rachel (Noa Diberto), Riley tries to withstand the brutal new standards set forth by their exacting coach, Eileen (Evan Rachel Wood).

In the 2020 documentary Miss Americana, director Lana Wilson gave viewers unparalleled access to the behind-the-scenes life of beloved pop star Taylor Swift— with backstage views of her sold-out concerts, personal hideaways, crushing career disappointments, and first forays into major statements about politics. But what captured fans most online was a singular scene where Swift leaves her New York apartment to a ravenous, frenzied crowd outside her front door.
“So this is my front yard,” she says, eyes wide as she looks at the cheering crowd held back by security and a load of barricades.

We understand — theoretically, at least — that movies have more oomph when it’s an immersive experience. But though we all have familiarity with the various director cuts of films floating around, we tend to think less of how films play differently thanks to specialized equipment. But Manhattan cinephiles are about to get a big lesson in just that with the launch of the Paris Theater’s “Big and Loud” series.
A hothouse combination of classic cinema and popcorn entertainment, the series hopes to marry a nostalgic, historic setting with Dolby Atmos to make even beloved films a new discovery. Dolby Atmos allows filmmakers and sound designers the opportunity to strategically position specific sounds to come from anywhere in a film auditorium; the newly renovated Paris Theater has accepted that challenge and created the largest Atmos cinema in Manhattan.

After shooting the Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana, deconstructing another pop icon in Brooke Shields was an organic segue for filmmaker Lana Wilson. The director is up for a Primetime Emmy nomination in Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program for the Hulu/ABC News docuseries Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields.
Wilson’s agent first brought the opportunity of a Brooke Shields doc to her attention after the concept was in the works via Alexandra Wentworth and George Stephanopoulos, who have a production deal at ABC News. Wilson tells us why the time was finally prime for Shields to tell all.
Shields proved a documentarian’s dream subject, not holding back from her roller-coaster ride high of being a 1980s starlet in such dicey movies such as Pretty Baby, The Blue Lagoon and Endless Love to tabloid headlines as Andre Agassi’s wife and Michael Jackson’s Grammys date. Wilson wanted...

The theater is reopening with a new Dolby Atmos sound system and, for the first time in 15 years, 70mm programming that includes 2001, Lawrence of Arabia, Playtime, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, plus a restrospective of sound-centric movies to give the new speakers a breaking-in––Blow Out, La Ciénaga, and a 35mm print of The Conversation among them.

Brooke Shields came up in a different time. The model and actress has been working since infancy, and when she shot to superstardom in the ’70s and ’80s, she became a lucrative commodity whose own opinion was rarely heard, but became the focus of many other people’s opinions.
This is all explored in her two-part documentary, “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” which hails from ABC News Studios and launched on Hulu earlier this year. Produced by Ali Wentworth, George Stephanopoulos and director Lana Wilson (Taylor Swift’s “Miss Americana”), the doc that received rave reviews out of its premiere at Sundance uses Shields’ story of being sexualized as a child to paint a bigger picture of the treatment of women in society.
