Only four stops on the Eras tour have been treated to a live performance of “Maroon,” a deep cut from Taylor Swift‘s tenth studio album Midnights. It first appeared as a surprise song selection in May 2023 when she paired it with “Getaway Car” in New Jersey. Los Angeles and Mexico City then got a taste of it in August, and she brought it back as a mashup with “Forever & Always” just last week. On March 14, Swift’s acoustic performance of “Maroon” will be readily available on demand as Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) premieres on Disney+.
At the end of the latest trailer for the film, Swift approaches her piano in an appropriately wine-colored dress, telling the audience: “This is one of my favorites.” She begins playing the opening notes of “Maroon,” faintly singing one lyric before the teaser fades to black. The film will feature four total bonus tracks, including “Maroon,” all performed acoustically alongside the original film’s setlist. It will also include the premiere of “Cardigan,” which was excluded from the theatrical release.
“I’m delighted to tell you that you’ll be able to watch Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (My Version) a few hours earlier than expected,” Swift wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning. “Experience the ENTIRE concert film for the first time ever, beginning to end, including “cardigan” and FOUR new acoustic songs on @DisneyPlus starting March 14th at 6pm PT.”
Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour originally appeared in theaters last October, capturing the first three Los Angeles performances on the career-spanning tour. In January, the film became the highest-grossing concert film and documentary in history. In a press release, AMC Theaters said Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has earned over $261.6 million globally, surpassing the previous record holder, Michael Jackson’s This Is It (2009).
