Whether you like it or not, it’s hard to deny Taylor Swift’s current dominance in the music industry. Armed with millions of followers and a longstanding reputation, Swift has fearlessly taken the world and the music industry by storm.
She’s a superstar.
She’s in the New Trier News’s playlist.
She’s a trendsetter, helping launch a new era of concert documentaries.
In October 2023, Swift released a concert documentary of The Eras Tour on Disney+. Other singers like Beyoncé and Olivia Rodrigo began to follow this trend, releasing a barrage of their own concert films in theaters and on streaming services.
Sure, there have been other concert documentaries before The Eras Tour, like “Madonna: Truth or Dare,” Ariana Grande’s “Excuse Me I Love You,” and Aretha Franklin’s “Amazing Grace,” but, these documentaries chronicle the behind-the-scenes of concerts instead of showing audiences an actual recording of the show itself.
