To mark the release of Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl is coming to cinemas this weekend – and you may need to wait a while to stream it.
Last year, Swift made history with the Eras Tour, grossing over $2 billion from nearly 150 shows across the world.
In October, the show was released in movie theaters for those who weren’t fortunate enough to get tickets. It made over $267 million worldwide, an unprecedented haul for a concert film, and Swift bypassed the typical theatrical route, effectively self-releasing it without the help of a traditional distributor.
There’s plenty to watch in cinemas this weekend, whether it’s The Smashing Machine, Good Boy, or the re-release of Avatar 2. However, Swifties will be out en masse – and if they’re lucky, they’ll be able to watch it at home in the future.
How to watch Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl
Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl is exclusively in cinemas from Friday, October 3.
Every major theater chain is holding screenings, but you’d better be quick: they’re quickly selling out, and considering it’s only in cinemas until October 5, you don’t have much time.
As for what fans will actually get to see, the release party includes the world premiere of the music video for ‘The Fate of Ophelia’, “along with behind-the-scenes footage from the music video shoot, brand new lyric videos, and Taylor’s never-before-seen personal reflections on songs from her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl,” as per the synopsis.
Will Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl be on streaming?
It’s not been confirmed if Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl will be available on streaming. However, if it does come to a streaming platform, it’s likely to be Disney Plus, and it may not be until 2026.
There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) dropped on Disney Plus, suggesting that Swift would opt for the same platform if the Release Party ever comes to streaming.
Secondly, the concert film came to streaming 155 days after its theatrical release. So, if you add the same amount of time to when the Release Party’s theatrical run begins (aka, today), it theoretically won’t be available to stream at home until March 2026.
It may come to streaming earlier, given its appeal may be more timed than the Eras Tour. Think about it: Swifties would probably want to relive the concert at any time, but if the Release Party includes a music video that’s out soon, it doesn’t make sense to hold off its streaming debut until next year.
