How to Watch Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Concert Film Tomorrow – CNET

We’re less than 36 hours out from the newest version of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film dropping exclusively on Disney Plus. In anticipation of the Thursday night release, Swift just dropped an early preview of her new performance of Cardigan and is announcing the names of the other new acoustic performances daily.

Swift announced last week that fans would be able to stream the film, called Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version), at home earlier than they’d anticipated. The first version of the Eras Tour movie came out in theaters last year, becoming the highest-grossing concert film, as reported by Variety. Then it was available to rent on demand. Now Disney Plus’ version of the film promises new performances, and says goodbye to some fan favorites.

Are you ready for it? If not, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything we know about the new concert film, how to watch Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) and why a VPN might be a useful tool for streaming.

Disney Plus’ version of the flick will feature Swift’s performance of Cardigan, which was previously cut from the theatrical release of the movie, and four additional acoustic songs. You can check out a preview of the Cardigan performance here, in an exclusive early clip on Apple’s App Store. Swift is also releasing the names of the four new acoustic performances leading up to Thursday’s release on ABC’s Good Morning America (also owned by Disney). So far, we know that two of the new acoustic performances will be Maroon and Death by a Thousand Cuts. 

Swift recorded six acoustic songs during filming in August, and the performances of Our Song and You’re on Your Own, Kid made both the theatrical and on-demand rental versions of the film. That means acoustic performances of I Can See You and You Are in Love could be the next two performances included in the newest version of the film.

Songs excluded from the Disney Plus cut of the movie include Long Live, The Archer, Wildest Dreams and No Body, No Crime.
