LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' movie is now streaming on Disney+. However, controversy arose following a report questioning its suitability for children. Nonetheless, numerous parents and fans have voiced their support for the singer's concert film.

Outlet questions if Taylor Swift's concert film is appropriate for children
As reported by People Magazine, Swift's concert film, 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,' premiered in theaters in October 2023, providing fans with an intimate glimpse into one of the most significant tours of the year. Swift showcases songs from her extensive catalog, spanning her past ten albums.
However, as per the outlet, the film has received a PG-13 rating due to "some strong language and suggestive materials," sparking concerns about its suitability for children.

The PG-13 rating is likely attributed to the inclusion of songs featuring strong language from Swift's recent albums, including 'Evermore,' 'Folklore,' and 'Midnights,' as detailed in the report by People Magazine.
Moreover, People Magazine's report suggests that there are some eerie moments, including one during the 'Evermore' set, which might be unsettling for children.
As an illustration, before performing 'Willow,' Swift and her dancers assemble on stage clad in cloaks, reciting lyrics akin to a spell, reminiscent of scenes from the 'Willow' music video depicting witches gathered around a fire.
The 'Reputation' set includes imagery of snakes, and there are scenes of destruction during the '1989' setlist, such as Swift and her dancers smashing a CGI car and burning a house during 'Bad Blood.'
People Magazine's report also mentions concerns about Swift's seductive dancing during the 'Midnights' setlist, particularly during the song 'Vigilante Shit,' which some parents may find inappropriate for children, the outlet suggests.
