Taylor Swift fans went wild as The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) trailer dropped on Monday morning ahead of the highly-anticipated Disney+ streaming release.
A minute-long clip featuring the 34-year-old megastar in concert during her mega successful The Eras Tour last year as she reportedly sold the rights to the concert film to the streamer for a whopping $75million.
No doubt it will be a highly-anticipated release as it became the highest-grossing concert film of all-time, earning $261.6 million worldwide.
Coinciding with the re-issues from her old music catalogue, this release has been branded as (Taylor’s Version) meaning it will be slightly different and revamped even from what diehard Swifties saw in theaters months ago and what was on VOD (video on-demand).
The added content in this edition includes the song Cardigan which wasn’t on the original release in addition to four additional acoustic songs.

The clip began with Swift walking onto the stage as text flashed across the screen which said: ‘On March 14 the record breaking global phenomenon only on Disney+.’
Taylor could be heard saying: ‘This is the most extraordinary experience of my entire life.’
She followed that up with telling the audience: ‘I’ll be your host host this evening. My name is Taylor and welcome to The Eras Tour.’

Swifties went wild in the comment section of the YouTube with many rejoicing that The Eras Tour film was finally going to have a home where they could watch it repeatedly and some even commented that Disney+ is going to be the ultimate benefactor.
