After the Taylor Swift era’s tour quickly spread around the world, many people of all ages were trying to experience this show for themselves. But, thousands of people were not able to get tickets to this sold out concert, and because of this, a new movie about the tour was made and aired on October 13.
“I really liked the movie. I think that it is a great way for people to be able to see her concert if they were not able to go.” Junior Anniston Englemann said.
Engelmann was able to see Taylor Swift in concert In Kansas City as well as watch the movie. She really enjoyed the atmosphere of the movie theater, and loved that it became a fun sing along movie as it went on.
“I’m glad that the movie was a replay of the concert because it’s fun to be able to re-watch her concert and relive the experience anytime you want,” senior Carter Swope said.
According to Swope, the Taylor Swift merch that can be bought at the movie theater also makes the experience better. With printed “Eras Tour” soda cups and posters, every fan gets something to take home with them. This film recently surpassed $100 million in ticket sales already , and Swope feels like everyone needs to see this movie.
Although many people think that this film captured everything that they wanted to see, others wished that there were some additional clips.
“I wish the movie showed some behind the scenes,” Engalemann said “It would have been really cool to see how she organizes such a big tour and setlist.”
Not only did Engelmann want some more detail behind the scenes, but so did Swope.
“I wanted to see some of the songs that she took out of the tour,” Swope said. .
Since a lot of hard work and added details go into putting on such a big show, Engelmann feels like getting to see what creating the show looked like would have added a special touch to the movie. According to Swope, songs like Cardigan got taken out of Taylors tour and he wishes that she performed those songs in the movie. But, besides that, Swope really enjoyed the film and is ready for everyone to be able to stream it.
“I really recommend this movie to others, it was so fun and getting to see it with my best friend was the best part,” said Swope.
