Taylor Swift’s blockbuster concert film The Eras Tour will make its streaming debut on Disney+, the Walt Disney Company has announced.
The film, now titled Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version), will land on the streaming platform on March 15.
Five new songs will be included with the film, including Cardigan.
“The Eras Tour has been a true phenomenon that has and continues to thrill fans around the world, and we are very excited to bring this electrifying concert to audiences wherever they are, exclusively on Disney+,” said Bob Iger, Disney chief executive, in a statement.
The Eras Tour amassed more than $262 million (€243 million) worldwide in cinemas after opening in October, setting a record for concert films.
Swift partnered with AMC Theatres for the release in a first-of-its-kind deal that cut out Hollywood studios and instead sent the film directly into cinemas.
That left a second round of bidding for streaming rights.
The Eras Tour film will hit Disney+ about a month before Swift’s recently announced new album, The Tortured Poets Department, drops on April 19.
On Sunday, she won best album at the Grammys for Midnights.
Swift will bring the Eras Tour to Dublin this summer.
