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.

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.
