Taylor Swift's filmed Eras Tour has found a home on Disney+. The concert film will hit the platform on March 15. disney CEO Bob Iger announced during the company's earnings call Wednesday.
The “Taylor Version” of the film will be available exclusively on the streaming service as part of your subscription. Disney noted that this version will include the concert in its entirety and will have five additional songs not from the original theatrical or digital release, including “Cardigan.”
Iger called Swift a “creative genius” and “a true cultural phenomenon” during the call.
Financial terms of the licensing agreement were not immediately available. Disney likely faced a bidding war for the pop star's latest filmed concert, following the huge popularity of her tour.
Swift has previously worked with Apple Music, Netflix and Disney will release filmed versions of their concerts and documentary projects.
Swift shocked the theater world last year when she announced she was bringing a concert film to theaters in partnership with a theater chain. AMC. The film opened with over $92 million in ticket sales during its domestic opening weekend, the second-highest debut for a film released in October.
Amid the excitement, theaters designed special popcorn buckets, crafted boutique cocktails and even set up tables to make friendship bracelets for Swift fans, recreating a basic experience of attending live concerts.
In total, Swift's film generated more than $180 million at the domestic box office and more than $261.6 million worldwide. That worldwide figure surpasses the previous record set by Michael Jackson's concert documentary “This Is It” in 2009.
The concert film became available on demand on December 13, the singer's 34th birthday, with a rental fee of $19.89, the year she was born. There is currently no data available on the revenue that digital rentals have generated.
