Make friendship bracelets and enjoy the Eras Tour without spending a baffling amount of money on tickets by heading to the theater to see “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” movie.

Unlucky Swifties who had to deal with the annoying Ticketmaster fiasco are in luck, following the release of Swift’s newest tour film.

And it’s way more affordable than buying tickets to the actual tour. 

A warning for those who are light-sensitive — there are a lot of flashing lights throughout the movie. So if you’re affected by strobing lights, this might be a movie to sit out on. 

The movie was filmed over three nights at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Only three songs from the setlist were cut from the film: “The Archer” from the Lover era, “No Body No Crime” featuring Haim from the Evermore era and “Long Live” from the Speak Now era.

As for transitions between the eras, the editing was beautiful. 

For instance, in a couple of eras, they took the lights from the light-up bracelets and moved them around to spell out the name of the next era. 

The camera angles were strange and switched very often, which is hard to keep up with in a theater. Taylor sometimes jumps from one side of the screen to the other, which by the end of the movie, can create a feeling of whiplash.

It isn’t so bad if you have further back seats, but if the theater is packed and all that is left is the front section, be prepared to feel like you’re jerking your head.

Some of the close-up shots should’ve been wider.

There is one part of the song “The Man” that has a really funny dance move in it, but because they are so close to her, it is missed.

One aspect of the movie trailer that was confusing was the 10 eras portion of it. 

If you’ve read about the set list, gone to a concert, or seen some glitchy livestream, then you know that her debut album is not a part of the setlist at all. 

Every other album has a section but debut.

She uses a song from the debut album in the acoustic or surprise song section, which is how she can say all 10 eras are in the movie.

Saying all 10 eras have their own section is misleading, as it features one song from her debut album. Out of the 56 shows that Swift has performed during the tour, she has only featured debut album nine times.

Swift pulled a similar marketing tactic when advertising for the tour. She performed a song from her debut on opening night, but it doesn’t have its own section like all the other eras which is disappointing.

Something to note is that every crowd is going to be different.

Some audiences will want to treat it like any other movie experience, and others will want to treat it like it’s an actual concert and sing to their heart’s content.

Some people make and trade friendship bracelets, so if that’s up your alley, I’m sure some Swiftie would love to trade with you.

“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is out now in theaters, showing on weekends only.
