It's about that time. Swifties, get ready. Taylor Swift is returning to the big screen with a special theatrical celebration tied to her next album release, CNN reports.

“Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl” arrives in theaters on October 3, the same day her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, officially drops. The announcement came Friday, sparking a wave of excitement from fans who remember the intimate listening parties Swift once hosted at her home.

Variety reports the 89-minute feature will premiere “The Fate of Ophelia,” the first music video from the album, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, commentary from Swift herself, and lyric videos for all 12 tracks. AMC noted that, just like with her record-breaking Eras Tour screenings, fans will be encouraged to sing and dance during the event. Theaters will, however, ask guests not to stand on seats or block aisles.

A Global Celebration

The event will roll out in AMC, Cinemark, and Regal theaters across the United States, with screenings kicking off simultaneously at 3 p.m. ET on October 3 and running through October 5. Unlike standard movie showings, the party will start right on time with no trailers or advertisements beforehand.

Swift shared the news in an Instagram story linking fans directly to tickets, which are also available through Fandango. International fans won’t be left out either. Release parties are set for over 100 countries, including Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, and the U.K. While the U.S. run ends October 5, many global screenings will continue later into the month.

The release marks another major milestone for Taylor Swift in 2025, a year that has already seen her engagement to Travis Kelce and a steady stream of chart-dominating music news. For fans, this event combines the intimacy of her “secret sessions” with the blockbuster reach of her theater experiences, making it more than just an album drop. It’s a worldwide celebration of a pop star who knows how to turn her personal milestones into cultural ones.
