Reigning pop queen Taylor Swift has made a grand entrance at the premiere of her Eras Tour concert movie, which chronicles her unprecedented tour success.

Swift exuded regal charm as she stepped out in a blue floral crown and her hair fashioned into a bob, mirroring her iconic 1989-era hairstyle.

Known for surprising her Swiftie fans, the pop megastar made a special announcement on social media before arriving at the event.

“Andddd I can’t really wrap my head around this but…. Look what you genuinely made me do: Due to unprecedented demand, we’re opening up early access showings of The Eras Tour Concert Film on THURSDAY in America and Canada!!,” she wrote on Instagram and X, formerly Twitter.

During her reign of global supremacy, it’s hardly astonishing that the film has already etched its name in history, achieving the status of the highest-grossing concert movie ever.

The movie, directed by Sam Wrench, has garnered an impressive $100 million in advance global ticket sales, surpassing the previous record set by Justin Bieber’s ‘Never Say Never’ film, which earned $99 million.

These records align with the expectation that Swift’s tour is poised to claim the title of the highest-earning tour in history.

Taylor’s mother, Andrea, nicknamed “Mama Swift” by the fandom, was seen exchanging friendship bracelets with a devoted fan.

Photos posted to X show exclusive Eras Tour merchandise inside the theatre — including branded popcorn tins and drink cups.
