Taylor Swift's The Official Release Party of a Showgirl: Release Date Revealed and Where to Stream
The singer pulls back the curtain on a new album, offering the clearest look yet and igniting fan buzz.
Taylor Swift is turning her next album rollout into a one-weekend-only movie event. Yes, the title sounds like an afterparty, but it is a real film: an all-access peek at how she made her new record, The Life of a Showgirl.
'This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant.'
What the film actually is
Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl is an 89-minute behind-the-scenes special built around The Life of a Showgirl. Expect never-before-seen footage, Swift talking candidly about what inspired the record, and the world premiere of the music video for 'The Fate of Ophelia.' It also folds in personal reflections from Swift on the new songs.
When and where to watch
It is in cinemas for one weekend only: Friday October 3 to Sunday October 5. That is it. No bonus midweek screenings lurking on the schedule.
Will it stream later?
There are no streaming details yet. For context, Swift has previously worked with Netflix and Disney+, and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour lives on Disney+ after becoming the highest-grossing concert movie ever in theaters. But for this one, nothing official has been announced.
The album itself
The Life of a Showgirl is Swift's 12th studio album, packing 12 tracks, including a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter. Swift says she is proud of this record and that it came from a wildly joyful, dramatic headspace during the tour — translation: expect bangers.
