The 33-year-old singer's sold-out stadium tour has made its way to the big screen, with early screenings kicking off on Thursday, October 12.

TAG24 News caught all the excitement at the Friday evening screening of The Eras Tour movie at AMC Lincoln Square 13, where Swifties came out in droves to celebrate the big release.

Friday's showing welcomed a number of die-hard fans, many of whom had become friends with one another through their mutual love of Swift, crossing paths through social media sites like X before finally meeting in person.

"When I meet people and tell them about my friends, and they ask, 'How do you know each other,' I'm like, 'Oh, mutual friend,'" a Swiftie named Joy told TAG24, with that mutual friend, of course, being the Anti-Hero artist.

From friendship bracelet trading to sequins galore, Eras Tour moviegoers were pretty easy to spot. One Swiftie even spent all night working on her outfit, which was a replica of Swift's red dress from the I Bet You Think About Me music video!

As for the in-theater shenanigans, things were a bit calmer than some social media videos have shown, though fans certainly sang along to all of their favorite songs. Moviegoers even kept some of the tour's traditions alive, turning their phone flashlights on for the performance of majorie and dancing in the aisles.

The earnings have made Swift's movie the second-largest opening day in the month of October, just slightly behind 2019's The Joker.
