In typical mastermind fashion, Taylor Swift is celebrating her birthday with a gift for her fans.
The pop sensation announced on Monday that her Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film will be available to rent on VOD starting Dec 13 — and just as fans hoped, it will include three of the songs cut from the original theatrical release.
“Well, so, basically I have a birthday coming up and I was thinking a fun way to celebrate the year we’ve had together would be to make The Eras Tour Concert Film available for you to watch at home!” Swift wrote across her social media accounts. “Very happy to be able to tell you that the extended version of the film including ‘Wildest Dreams,’ ‘The Archer’ and ‘Long Live’ will be available to rent on demand in the US, Canada & additional countries to be announced soon starting on … you guessed it, December 13.”
The original omission of several songs from the tour’s setlist certainly earned a reaction from Swift’s fanbase when the movie premiered in October. But those used to solving Swift’s puzzles correctly guessed that the concert film — which already clocks in at 2 hours and 45 minutes — would be extended once available for home viewing. That said, not all of the cut songs from the concert are being featured. Nightly inclusion “Cardigan” won’t factor into the longer version, nor will “No Body No Crime,” despite Swift performing the track with Haim at the L.A. shows filmed for the movie.

News of the home release comes two months after the concert film debuted in theaters, and hours after Swift wrapped on 2023 dates for her ongoing global Eras Tour. The “Cruel Summer” singer played her final show in Sao Paulo Brazil on Sunday night and will next take to the stage on Feb. 7 in Tokyo.
In the meantime, fans can continue singing along in the privacy of their living rooms when the film arrives on streaming next month where it will undoubtedly find a new record to shatter. Swift’s Eras Tour already made waves by becoming the first concert film in history to cross the $100 million mark domestically, and has since cleared $165 million in North America, putting it above $231 million globally. And all of that without "Wildest Dreams"!
