Taylor Swift Announces The Official Release Party of a Showgirl: What You Need to Know
Taylor Swift is going to the big screen again — but this time, not with a full concert film. The Official Release Party of a Showgirl is a special, limited theatrical event tied to the release of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. It’s set to run October 3-5, 2025, and here’s what fans and moviegoers should know.

⚠️ Things to Watch Out For

- International availability is staggered; not all countries will have screenings exactly on Oct 3-5 — some will follow later. (AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.)
🎟️ Tips for Fans: How to Get Tickets & Make the Most of the Experience
- Book early — ticket sales are live now in many U.S. theaters. Don’t wait for the last minute. (AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.)
- Check premium formats if you want bigger screens / enhanced sound — those are limited and cost more.
- Arrive on time — screenings begin promptly at showtime, without trailers or ads in AMC theatres. (AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.)
- Expect to sing & dance — this isn’t a conventional movie-going experience. Fans are encouraged to fully engage. (Theatres ask folks to avoid standing on seats or blocking aisles.) (AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.)
