Where was the movie filmed?
According to Billboard Magazine, the Eras Tour film was shot over the course of Swift’s first three shows at SoFi Stadium, "where she performed a total of six straight shows in early August. The Los Angeles venue attracted a total of nearly 500,000 fans."
During the concerts, she performed a total of six surprise songs during her dates at SoFi, which could earn a featured spot in the movie: “I Can See You,” “Maroon,” “Our Song,” “You Are in Love,” “Death by a Thousand Cuts” and “You’re on Your Own, Kid."
Can I dress up and/or make friendship bracelets?
Swift herself encouraged fans to go all out for the release. “Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged,” she wrote in her announcement for the film.
Am I allowed to get up and dance? Can I sing along?
This will not be your typical movie theater experience. Moviegoers should not expect your typical quiet movie experience during the Taylor Swift film.
AMC officials have publicly said they expect to see fans up out of their seats while the movie is playing, dancing and singing along with Swift as long it doesn't bother others.
"We encourage dancing and singing throughout this concert film event, but please do not dance on our seats or block other guests from viewing, safely walking or exiting the auditorium."
