What did Taylor Swift say about the premiere of her concert film? 

While Swift is yet to weigh in on the Israel-Hamas conflict, she has been active on social media to promote her concert film. 

"PREMIERE DAY," Swift began. "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!! As in… TOMORROW," she announced. 

"We’re also adding additional showtimes Friday and throughout the weekend. All tickets will be available by 10am tomorrow morning. And it’ll be showing starting Friday in 90 countries all over the world," the pop star continued. 

"I can’t thank you enough for wanting to see this film that so vividly captures my favorite adventure I’ve ever been a part of: The Eras Tour. And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together. Getting in the car now…," Swift added. 

She also shared photos with stars who joined her at the premiere of 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' movie. 

Swift also dedicated a separate post for Beyonce, alongside a clip of the duo posing with popcorns inside the Grove theatre. "I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce's influence," she wrote. 

"The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale," Swift added.
