In a The Hollywood Reporter piece published Thursday (Sept. 18), the trade magazine reported that multiple sources had confirmed the pop star is prepping a project for big screens that will likely premiere the same weekend Showgirl drops. The exact content of the event is “unclear,” but it will be related to the new album.
Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.
Swift is no stranger to film, starring in Netflix’s Miss Americana documentary in 2020 and releasing her Eras Tour concert film in 2023. The latter pulled in $179.2 million in the domestic box office, becoming the highest grossing concert film of all time.
The musician has also directed a number of her own screen projects, including 2021’s All Too Well: The Short Film. She has also reportedly been in the process of developing an original film for Searchlight Pictures, which she would direct with a script she wrote.
The report of the Showgirl theatrical event comes just two weeks ahead of Swift’s highly anticipated 12th studio album, which she announced in August through an appearance on now-fiancé Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast. Made entirely with past collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, the full-length is expected to deliver a number of pop bangers.
“I was so mentally stimulated and excited to be creating,” Swift reflected of making Showgirl while she was on her global Eras trek. “[The album is] a lot more upbeat, and it’s a lot more fun pop excitement. My main goals were melodies that were so infectious, you’re almost angry at it.”
