Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” Film Expecting $100M Opening, Taylor Lautner Does Flips At Screening

by

Taylor Swift premiered her new concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour yesterday, and it’s already on its way to breaking records. The success of the hitmaker’s groundbreaking tour continues, carrying over to the big screen and bringing in $39 million Friday (October 13). AMC Theatres’ estimates suggest it could have the biggest October opening in North America, passing Joker‘s $96.2 million.

“The significance of this weekend’s performance of the Taylor Swift concert film cannot be overstated, and given its outlier status and totally unique path to the multiplex is made all the more impressive and unexpected that lands in the wake of Barbenheimer big screen phenomenon,” media analyst Paul Dergarabedian told The Hollywood Reporter. “It proves once again that the movie theater has become a revenue-generating platform that is unrivaled, even among the ubiquitous and rightfully popular streaming services whose overall impact pales by in comparison to the big screen experience.”

Taylor Swift Could Break Records With New Tour Film

So far, it seems as though fans are loving the film. It’s currently boasting perfect scores on both Rotten Tomatoes and CinemaScore. Swift hosted the world premiere of the film at The Grove in Los Angeles earlier this week, sharing some heartfelt words with fans. “I’ve always had fun doing this. I can’t believe I get to do music as a career. That’s cr*zy,” Swift expressed. “I’ve always had so much fun doing it. I’ve never had this much fun in my life as I have had on The Eras Tour. It is far and away just the most electric experience of my life.”

The feat’s so major that it’s even got Taylor Lautner doing backflips. Swift’s ex showed off some of his moves at a recent screening of her film, impressing fans who filmed and cheered him on. It’s no secret that the actor is a major supporter of The Eras Tour, popping out for various dates in recent months. He even made a surprise appearance onstage at her Kansas stop in July, again, flipping his way onto the stage.

Taylor Swift’s Ex-BF Taylor Lautner Thought Kanye West VMAs Moment Was A “Skit”

by

In 2009, a Hollywood romance was taking over pop culture, but it was Kanye West who would dominate headlines. That year, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were the new “it” couple. The Pop star and her Twilight icon boyfriend were photographed by the paparazzi as they attempted to keep their relationship under wraps. However, that year, they attempted the MTV Video Music Awards together, where an infamous moment with West would take place.

We all remember when Swift won Best Female Video for “You Belong With Me.” It was then that West stormed the stage, took the microphone, and declared Beyoncé deserved that award. Lautner recalls presenting the triphy to his then-girlfriend and watching Ye unravel up close and personal.

Lautner was a guest on his wife’s podcast when he was asked where he would go if he could travel back in time. He chose the 2009 VMAs and admitted he was “unaware that the Kanye thing was not a skit.” He said he gave Swift the award, “took five steps back,” and was only “five feet behind her.”

“In the middle of her giving her thank you speech, Kanye jumps up onto the stage,” he said. “I could barely hear it. I can’t see them. I’m just assuming this whole thing was a practiced and rehearsed skit because why else would Kanye West be jumping on the stage interrupting Taylor Swift? It just didn’t make sense.”

“If you look back at it, I’m actually caught laughing and, like, giggling at it. I’m like, ‘I can’t hear them, but this is probably really funny right now,’” Lautner also stated. “He jumped off. She finished. The second she turned back around and I saw her face for the first time, I was like, ‘Oh. No. …That wasn’t good.’”

Lautner may have missed his opportunity to defend Swift, but it was rumored that singer Pink was heated about the encounter. She was said to have put West in his place and was “very upset” with his actions. In 2015, West and Swift buried the hatchet and hugged it out. However, after he dropped “Famous” with a line about making “that b*tch famous,” the rift was reignited.

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards are remembered for exactly one thing: Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to shout out Beyoncé. A less-remembered detail about that VMAs moment is that Taylor Lautner was on that stage, too, as he presented the award to Swift. Now, he has looked back on that day and revealed what was going through his head at the time.

In a recent episode of The Squeeze podcast, the host (Lautner’s wife, who is also named Taylor Lautner) asked if there was a moment Lautner would like to go back and change and he responded, “Probably the 2009 VMAs when I presented the award to Taylor and was unaware that the Kanye thing was not a skit.”

The host noted Lautner and Swift were publicly in a relationship at the time. Lautner continued, “I presented the award to her. I took five steps back and was standing five feet behind her. Kanye jumps up on to the stage. I could barely hear it, I can’t see them. I’m just assuming this whole thing was a practiced and rehearsed skit, because why else would Kanye West be jumping up on the stage interrupting Taylor Swift? It just didn’t make sense. If you look back at it, I’m actually caught laughing and giggling at them. […] He jumped off, she finished. The second she turned back around and I saw her face for the first time, I was like, ‘Oh. This… that wasn’t good.’”
