At long last, Taylor Swift’sThe Eras Tour concert movie has premiered (here’s our review). For fans who haven’t seen it yet (and those who have but want a refresher), one of the biggest day-after questions is: What songs are included in the movie’s setlist? Read on for the full list.
While the concerts feature 45 songs, the movie only includes 40. The movie was filmed at the August 3 to 5 concerts at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, so we know the songs that were cut (per Just Jared): “The Archer” (Lover era), “‘Tis The Damn Season” or “No Body No Crime” from (Evermore era; Swift performed different songs on different nights), “Long Love” (Speak Now era, although it appeared later in the movie), “Cardigan” (Folklore era), and “Wildest Dreams” (1989 era).
Check out the full songs setlist (via Just Jared, separated by era) below.
Lover era
1. “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince”
2. “Cruel Summer”
3. “The Man”
4. “You Need To Calm Down”
5. “Lover”
Fearless era
6. “Fearless”
7. “You Belong With Me”
8. “Love Story”
The two most impactful touring musicians of 2023, without question, are Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. It’s been a big deal when either of them has done pretty much anything this year, so it was certainly momentous when their paths crossed last night (October 11): Beyoncé made a surprise appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Swift’s The Eras Tour concert film.
They posed for red-carpet photos together and Swift later shared a video of her and Beyoncé posing in theater seats. Her caption paid tribute to Bey and expressed gratitude for her showing up: “I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence. The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.”
Earlier in the day, Swift shared a post before the premiere, writing, “I can’t thank you enough for wanting to see this film that so vividly captures my favorite adventure I’ve ever been a part of: The Eras Tour. And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together. Getting in the car now…”
She’s been a part of some successes, including a small role in 2010’s romcom ensemble Valentine’s Day and a voice part in 2012’s animated The Lorax, which pulled in a strong $216 million and $349.2 million worldwide, respectively. But more recently, there have been the notable misses of 2019’s Cats and 2022’s Amsterdam, two movies that exist more as memes in 2023 than as actual motion pictures that people widely enjoyed. Unless, that is, you are talking about going to a Rowdy Cats screening, which is a different story altogether. (Rowdy Amsterdam when!?!?)
But digital fur technology and surprise car flattenings aside, Taylor Swift has never previously been asked to actually carry a movie theater experience. And though the recent writers’ and actors’ strikes meant a dip in the overall fall box office projections (we’ll see you in 2024 Dune 2 and Challengers), Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was going to be a record-breaking cultural moment regardless of whether the cinemas needed saving or not. It couldn’t have come at a better time for AMC and the rest of the big theater chains, but Swift’s big-screen bow is about more than ticket stubs and popcorn sales.
The big picture meaning of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour can be traced back to March in Glendale, Arizona, when Swift debuted her phenomenon of a tour. Regardless of what fans hoped for or expected, she demolished all notions of what a stadium tour could be when you are the biggest musician in the world. Over the course of the next few months, the tour evolved and grew. Songs were added and swapped, the runtime extending to three-and-a-half hours by the time its initial US run landed in LA, the site that serves as the setting for the film. Tickets became even in higher demand and harder to get, and that’s saying a lot since the initial on-sale exposed Ticketmaster’s many flaws and the resale market’s unethical practices, something many of us had long known, but was now seeing Congress and The White House weighing in.
And for as many people who raved about the concert and shared their clips on social media, it’s easy to forget that the vast majority of Taylor Swift fans didn’t get to go to ‘The Eras Tour.’ Whether priced out or living in a place she didn’t visit or a myriad of other possible reasons, most Taylor Swift fans lived vicariously through their peers, taking to Twitter nightly to see which surprise song made the acoustic setlist or what celebrity was spotted losing their mind (it was often Emma Stone). And though it isn’t possible for a movie to take the place of a live concert, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour comes as close as possible, less because of how the movie is captured and more in how fans are going to interact with it.
In terms of the capture, director Sam Wrench is more than capable, with a resume that extends from Billie Eilish to BTS projects. The big-screen treatment allows fans who have seen the live show a chance to take in details of the performances and production that get easily obscured by the overwhelming nature of live music. It also manages to pepper in breathtaking moments of Swift connecting with the camera and the audience getting lost in her songs, emoting them right back to her. There isn’t much artistic liberty taken — at least any that wasn’t already there at the actual concert — and Wrench doesn’t seem intent on putting his own fingerprints on the film, moving it away from something more auteurist like Stop Making Sense. The mission is more about recreating the live experience as the performer envisioned it, harnessing the sheer magnitude of SoFi Stadium and Swift alike. And in that, Wrench succeeds mightily.
But the show of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is as much in the auditoriums it will pack than it is on the screen. Swift fans have already pre-sold enough tickets to indicate more than 100 million that the US box office opening weekend, and she is still adding screenings that will see that figure grow. Those figures — obviously not the greatest measuring stick for art, but useful for this point — doesn’t just indicate interest, but also enthusiasm. That investment from the Swifty community is a big part of what makes ‘The Eras Tour’ special and that translates to a movie experience as well. Expect everything you know about the cinema to go out the window when attending the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie. There will be singing, there will be dancing, people might stand throughout, and phones will be used liberally. Rowdy Cats will have nothing on this.
And, that’s a good thing. Movie theaters are a sacred space, and this summer’s Barbenheimer phenomenon showed that young people will still flock to the theater, but making it feel like a communal moment that they want to take part in is the big selling point. And nothing serves that purpose like a concert. So when Swift fans start posting videos from screenings this weekend, showing their friends screaming the bridge to “Cruel Summer” together, know that it might not look like the movie theater experience you hold dear, but it is ultimately good for all cinema. A boisterous screening can be as wonderful as a silent, reverent, deeply moving one. And these are the gateways that open people up to the magic of the movie theater in general.
Fans may or may not want to know ahead of time which songs were cut from the film in service of making the movie’s runtime a bit more manageable for the masses — it still clocks in at nearly three hours — or which acoustic numbers made the cut, but that information is certainly out there if you are looking for it. For me, it was less about what was and wasn’t included than it was about being able to focus in on different aspects of the show. In the film, “Enchanted” felt even more consequential, the lone entry from Speak Now whose dramatic nature makes it ideal for a cinema. It was seeing Kobe Bryant’s daughter Bianca getting Swift’s hat at the end of “22,” a clip that went viral when it happened but still felt like a magic trick on the big screen. It was the floor-shattering effect during “Delicate,” which is easily lost in a live show when you are transfixed on the singer and not a bird’s eye perspective. And it was Swift’s gradually curling hair as the performance goes on, the sheer superhuman nature of the endeavor reflected in each wavy lock.
The biggest question is what the lasting legacy of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour film will be. While it is already assured to be the biggest theatrical concert movie ever released, very few films of its ilk manage to remain integral parts of culture. For every The Last Waltz and Homecoming, there are dozens of concert films that wind up as barely watched DVDs on a bookshelf or steaming service afterthoughts. But this film feels built to last because of the fandom, who could see repertory screenings pop up indefinitely the way local communities screen Rocky Horror Picture Show or the Hollywood Bowl hosts yearly Sound Of Music singalongs. Fans will dress up, know all the words, and make the show as much about the audience as it is about the film. Even in this first screening, it all already feels bigger than Taylor Swift, if anything can be bigger than Taylor Swift. And now you don’t need a nearly impossible ticket to experience it.
In other words, it wouldn’t be totally crazy to assume that Bad Bunny will embark on yet another tour. If he does, it will assuredly be the hottest ticket in the world.
According to Cinemark, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour merchandise will be available: “Popcorn tubs and collector cups will be available at all Cinemark theaters beginning Friday, October 13, while supplies last. Products and quantities vary by location.” They said the same about other unspecified merchandise. The limit is 10 total items per customer.

The Las Vegas Aces are one win away from going back-to-back as champions. The Aces played host to the New York Liberty at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas on Wednesday night in the WNBA Finals, and rode emphatic performances in the first and third quarters to a 104-76 win that gave them a 2-0 lead in the series.
Basketball games are supposed to be won over the course of 40 minutes, but the Aces decided to do everything they could to win Game 2 in the first quarter. Las Vegas put forth one of the greatest quarters of offensive basketball we’ve ever seen, as the team raced out to a 19-2 lead, led by as many as 21 points, and scored a WNBA Finals-record 38 points in the game’s first frame.
Every member of the team’s starting five scored at least five points in the first, with A’ja Wilson’s 12 points leading the way. As a team, Las Vegas shot 14-for-20 and 6-for-10 from three, and all the while, New York’s offense was stuck in the mud — the Liberty shot 6-for-20 from the field and found themselves down, 38-19, after one.
Thanks to a pair of big runs — a 7-0 run early in the second and a 12-0 run towards the end — New York was able to get back into the game. It also helped that Jonquel Jones played like a superstar in the second. After scoring three points in the first quarter, Jones went into the locker room with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks.
A big 2nd quarter from Jonquel Jones to cut the Aces lead to 8
Her size and physicality were a major issue for Las Vegas, and as a result, the Liberty spent the second quarter chipping away at a lead that extended to as many as 22 points. By the time the horn sounded for the half, the Aces’ once indomitable margin was down to 52-44.
And then, the third quarter started, and the Aces followed the script that they laid out in the first. After racing out to a 17-3 lead in the period and extending the gap between the two teams, Las Vegas was able to keep New York at arm’s length. Chelsea Gray’s influence, in particular, was felt throughout the quarter, as she was in complete and total control of things.
That dominance beget a fourth quarter that was more of a formality than anything. While both teams ran their starters for the first few minutes, eventually, Sandy Brondello and Becky Hammon opted to empty their benches and see out the inevitable Aces win. Three players on Las Vegas eclipsed the 20-point plateau: Wilson (26 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block), Jackie Young (24 points, eight rebounds, four assists), and Kelsey Plum (23 points, eight assists, three steals). That trio was buoyed by Gray, who had a 14-point, 11-assist, 6-rebound evening. The team’s ball movement was picture-perfect, as evidenced by the team’s 31 assists on 37 made baskets.
As for the Liberty, it was largely an evening to forget. While Jones had 22 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks, the rest of the team struggled mightily to get going. Breanna Stewart had 14, Betnijah Laney had 12, and Sabrina Ionescu had 10, with that trio combining to shoot 12-for-42 (28.5 percent) from the field.
Now, the series will head to the east coast for at least one more matchup between the two best teams in the league. Game 3 will take place on Sunday afternoon at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and is scheduled to tip off at 3 p.m. EST on ABC.
Warning: This post contains spoilers for the ending of John Carpenter’s The Thing.
John Carpenter’s The Thing — the film that could have starred Rick Dalton — has one of the great open endings. There are only two survivors of the shape-shifting alien beastie: Kurt Russell’s MacReady and Keith David’s Childs. The creature has been destroyed (probably) and the station — perhaps their only hope for survival — has been destroyed. One of them could have been infected by the titular “Thing.” Maybe both have been. Or maybe they’re both fine, minus the whole “probably freezing to death” part.
“If we’ve got any surprises for each other, I don’t think we’re in much shape to do anything about it,” MacReady tells Childs after he speculates that maybe he shouldn’t trust him.
“Well, what do we do?” Childs asks.
“Why don’t we just… wait here for a little while… see what happens?” MacReady replies.
End movie.
In the past cinematographer Dean Cundey says you can tell by the lighting who’s still human and who isn’t. MacReady, Cundey said, still has a human light in his eyes. Childs does not.
Carpenter added, jokingly, “You tell him that. Tell him he’s full of sh-t.”
When asked if he, the director, knows, Carpenter replied, “Yes, I know. I know who’s the Thing and who’s not in the very end.” When asked if he wouldn’t mind telling the world, he said, “Nope … Cannot tell you. Sorry.”
And so, alas, fans of The Thing will just have to accept the ambiguity and keep living their lives.
Remember when you were a kid learning how to take a bath and your mom said, “Don’t forget to wash behind your ears!” According to a viral TikTok video by dermatologist Lindsey Zubritsky (@Dermguru on TikTok), your mother was right.
In a post with over 3.3 million views, Zubritsky reveals the places you “absolutely need to be washing more often than you are.” They are behind the ears, beneath the fingernails and in the belly button. Zubritsky says that failure to keep those areas clean can result in some severe health problems that can be life-threatening.
First, let’s take a look behind the ear.
If you put your finger behind your ear and “notice an odor to it or you feel something you should be washing it more,” Zubritsky says. Dandruff, sebum, other hair, and materials from the hair and head can build up behind the ear, leading to dermatitis.
Think twice next time you take a shower #showertok #skintips #hygienetips #dermguru #staph #mrsa #skininfection #folliculitis #dermexplains#greenscreen
Next, let’s do a little navel-gazing.
Zubritsky says the belly button is a common area to collect sweat, debris and dirt buildup. According to the dermatologist, some extremely gross things can happen if you don’t clean there often enough. After watching this video, you will never forget to clean your belly button again.
“In fact, if you’re not cleaning it enough, you’ll have so much debris and dirt in there that you’ll develop a navel stone that looks like this,” she said as she shared a photo of a black stone protruding from someone’s belly button. The stone-like object is known as an omphalith and it may require surgical removal.
Finally, take a look beneath your nails.
“When you’re showering, you really need to get under those nails with a scrub brush to get rid of the dirt, debris and buildup,” she explained. Failure to keep your nails clean can lead to infections and pinworms.
Zubritsky concludes the video with a serious warning. If you don’t keep those 3 areas of your body clean, you could become a carrier of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MSRA is a bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics.
According to the Mayo Clinic, MRSA can lead to staph infections that produce painful boils that require surgical draining. In severe cases, they can burrow deep into the skin, leading to life-threatening infections in the bloodstream, bones, joints, heart valves and lungs.
Zubritsky has 1.1 million followers on TikTok and 576,000 on Instagram. Her social media fame has opened up a world of opportunities for the dermatologist.
“My work on social media has provided me with the opportunity to work with the American Academy of Dermatology on their social media campaigns and become an editor in the prestigious Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology,” she told Washington & Jefferson College. “My platform has allowed beauty editors from some of the biggest news outlets and magazines to consult with me on editorial pieces, and I have been featured in Forbes, CNN, Yahoo!, Vogue, Women’s Health, Allure, and many more as an expert dermatologist.”
Swift was present at the premiere on Wednesday, October 11. She appeared wearing an Oscar De La Renta floral gown, appropriately blue to match her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) aesthetic. The event was hosted at the AMC Theater within The Grove in Los Angeles. As per CNN, “The open-air mall was closed to shoppers for the day as preparations for the premiere took place.”
Shortly before making her surprise red-carpet appearance, Swift treated Swifties to more exciting news — and seemingly dropped an Easter egg for Reputation (Taylor’s Version)while doing so. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will arrive in US and Canadian theaters a day earlier than its scheduled October 13 release.
“PREMIERE DAY,” Swift captioned an Instagram photo. “Andddd I can’t really wrap my head around this but…. Look what you genuinely made me do: Due to unprecedented demand we’re opening up early access showings of The Eras Tour Concert Film on THURSDAY in America and Canada!! As in… TOMORROW.”
She continued, “We’re also adding additional showtimes Friday and throughout the weekend. All tickets will be available by 10 am tomorrow morning. And it’ll be showing starting Friday in 90 countries all over the world. I can’t thank you enough for wanting to see this film that so vividly captures my favorite adventure I’ve ever been a part of: The Eras Tour. And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together. Getting in the car now…”

The Grove in Los Angeles hosted the world premiere of #TaylorSwiftTheErasTour on Wednesday, October 11.
Swift wore a tanzanite strapless floral embroidered Oscar de la Renta gown to the gala event and was the first to arrive on the red carpet with guests to follow.
Last week the Sam Bankman-Fried trial began, and the accused fraud man and onetime presidential hopeful did something special for it: He weeded down his unruly mess of hair. Public photos have yet to emerge of his new ‘do; for now people will have to subsist on court drawings. Getting a haircut must have been an event for him, as his former colleague and alleged ex-girlfriend claims he thought his untamed mane was key to his mystique and to his power.
Per Insider, Caroline Ellison — the twentysomething mathlete who got caught up in Bankman-Fried’s antics — testified on the stand for a second day. She admitted that he “looked like he didn’t put a lot of effort into his personal appearance,” adding, “He dressed pretty sloppily and rarely cut his hair.”
But, Ellison testified, Bankman-Fried saw his unkempt mop as a feature not a bug.
“He thought his hair was very valuable,” Ellison told the court. She also said he believed his hair had gotten him higher bonuses from the trading firm Jane Street. As such, he’d concluded that his slovenly look was “essential to his image.”
According to The New York Times, Ellison fought back tears during her second day of testimony, including when she recalled the week when Bankman-Fried’s companies collapsed spectacularly. But there was a silver lining, at least for her. “I felt this sense of relief,” she said, “that I didn’t have to lie anymore, and that I could start taking responsibility even though I felt indescribably bad.”
Ellison was CEO of Alameda, one of Bankman-Fried’s companies, and she testified that she kept detailed spreadsheets about how much they owed its lenders vs. how much it was drawing from customer deposits to FTX, his cryptocurrency exchange company. The latter began falling apart, she said, in the spring of 2022, when the crypto market crashed. Bankman-Fried then allegedly instructed her to use more customer deposits to repay the lenders, which she did even though she “knew it was wrong.”
Will Ellison’s tearful testimony sway jurors? Possibly. On Thursday it will. Be Bankman-Fried’s legal team turn to cross-examine her.
