On October 13th, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie will arrive in cinemas worldwide. After a whirlwind, record-breaking first leg, fans will now get the chance to witness the whole thing, from start to finish, on the big screen.

The highly anticipated Eras Tour movie is set to be shown in AMC Theatres, with fans encouraged to dress up in their finest Swiftie outfits and trade friendship bracelets just like they do at the actual concert.

But how long will the concert film actually be? Each one of Taylor's Eras Tour shows is over three hours long, consisting of 45 songs, countless costume changes, speeches and inside jokes. It's a spectacle that will likely bring about as much joy in the cinema as it does in the actual stadium.

What is the run-time for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert film?

While Taylor's Eras Tour live show clocks in at an average 3 hours and 15 minutes, the concert film will be significantly shorter. For reference, 3 hours and 15 minutes (around 195 minutes) is longer than Avatar: The Way of Water. While that time will no doubt fly when you're watching Taylor dominate the stage, it's still a very long time.

It's now been confirmed by Taylor's publicist Tree Paine (via Billboard) that the concert film will run for 2 hours and 45 minutes. That's just around 30 minutes shorter than the actual live concert.

So, what's been cut from the Eras Tour movie? And why is it 30 minutes shorter than the show?

Unfortunately, Taylor has made a handful of cuts from the setlist. Seven songs in total (including an interlude) do not feature in the film.

  • 'The Archer'
  • 'cardigan'
  • ''tis the damn season'
  • 'Wildest Dreams'
  • 'no body, no crime'
  • 'seven' (interlude)
  • 'Long Live' (removed from the setlist, but played over the credits)

The full dive transition remains in the film, as does the '22' hat giveaway which features Bianka Bryant, Kobe Bryant's daughter.
