LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift has already conquered the worlds of music, touring, and videos. Now the entertainment powerhouse sets her sights on her biggest creative mountain yet - writing and directing a full-length scripted feature film.
Hot on the heels of her record-shattering 'Eras Tour,' Swift plans to step behind the camera once again after she wraps touring later this year. If fan reactions are any gauge, the internet stands ready to cheer Swift's filmmaking foray as yet another expansion of her artistic Midas touch.
Taylor Swift plans to direct an original script that she penned herself
Swift revealed sometime back her plans to make her directorial debut with a full-length scripted film once her record-breaking 'Eras Tour' concludes later this year. Now, as per Puck, the production will likely commence in early 2025 after her tour finishes its final stops in December 2024, unless additional dates are added to the itinerary first.
While details remain sparse, insiders report that Swift plans to direct an original script that she penned herself. This marks an expansion from her acclaimed 2021 short film 'All Too Well,' which screened at Toronto International Film Festival and Tribeca Film Festival to rave reviews.
Searchlight Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, will produce and distribute the upcoming project as part of an exclusive partnership deal with the multi-hyphenate star.
"Taylor is a once-in-a-generation artist and storyteller," said Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield in a statement. "It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey."
In other Swift developments, Disney+ recently emerged victorious from a heated bidding war to secure exclusive rights to a concert film showcasing her blockbuster 'Eras Tour.' The service invested over $75 million for rights to the special, prevailing over Netflix and Universal in negotiations that Swift's brother Austin reportedly assisted behind the scenes.
