Disney fans and Swifties unite!
The company announced Wednesday it will exclusively stream Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour starting March 15 on Disney+ — featuring new songs that didn’t make the theatrical cut.
Previously, the movie of Swift’s massively popular tour had only been available to rent on other streamers.
Disney CEO Bob Iger dropped the news during Disney’s earnings call Wednesday among a slew of other streaming successes and new additions to the platform.
The theatrical release of the show, which spanned 10 albums and 17 years of Swift’s career, grossed more than $260 million globally and made history as the highest-selling concert film.
“Over the past year, we all witnessed the creative genius and sheer power of a true cultural phenomenon Taylor Swift,” Iger said of the Grammy-winning pop superstar.
Iger said Disney’s version will include five bonus songs that were cut from the theatrical release, including ‘Cardigan’ and four acoustic songs.
Iger didn’t specify which acoustic songs would be included in the streaming version of the show; Swift performed different songs at different shows.
Swift fans were also quick to note that the theatrical release of the concert left out “Cardigan.”
Now, they can watch the performance to their hearts’ content, Iger said: “We know audiences are going to absolutely love the chance to relive the electrifying Taylor Swift Eras Tour “(Taylor’s Version) whenever they want on Disney+.”
