Taylor Swift Shows the World Once Again She Doesn’t Need Hollywood

Taylor Swift is planning a special event where fans can experience her new album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, in theaters. She announced the event on Friday, just a few weeks before the album is released. The Hollywood Reporter first shared the news.

Taylor Swift revealed details of a release party for her twelfth album on social media at 12:12 p.m. Eastern Time. Fans can celebrate with a cinema event running from October 3rd to 5th, with tickets costing $12.

Taylor Swift is hosting a special event to celebrate the release of her film, “A Showgirl.” She’s inviting fans to an exclusive premiere from October 3rd to 5th in cinemas. The event will feature the first public viewing of the music video for her new single, ‘The Fate of Ophelia,’ plus behind-the-scenes footage detailing the making of the video and the inspiration behind the song, as well as new lyric videos from her album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’

Get ready to relive the magic! Tickets are now available, so it’s time to dust off your favorite Eras Tour look or cozy cardigan. While you don’t *have* to dance, we definitely want you to!

Taylor Swift is no stranger to the big screen. Her concert film, *Eras Tour*, released two years ago, broke records to become the highest-grossing concert movie ever, earning over $261.6 million globally.

Similar to her previous project, Taylor Swift is personally funding this event and avoiding major Hollywood studios. She’s again working with AMC Theatres for distribution, utilizing their Variance platform to reach hundreds of cinemas. Insiders say AMC will carefully track early ticket sales to see how fans respond, looking at it as a potential repeat of the massive success of her *Eras* concert film.

The announcement comes at a key moment. AMC and other movie theaters are still bouncing back from a sluggish summer, with ticket sales in the U.S. only increasing by 6% in September compared to last year – a significant drop from the over 20% growth they saw in early June.

As a movie fan, I’m really excited about Taylor Swift’s concert film coming out! It’s hitting theaters the same weekend as a bunch of other stuff – Dwayne Johnson’s new movie, *The Smashing Machine*, and they’re even bringing *Avatar: The Way of Water* back to some IMAX theaters for a limited run. It’s going to be a busy weekend at the cinema!

This movie release proves Taylor Swift continues to find success by connecting with her fans directly, without needing to go through typical Hollywood channels.
