In an exciting preview for Swifties everywhere, Taylor Swift has released a previously unseen clip of her performing the fan-favorite “Cardigan” during her groundbreaking Eras Tour last year. The tantalizing teaser comes just days before the highly-anticipated streaming premiere of the full Eras Tour concert film on Disney+ this Friday.
The “Cardigan” performance snippet serves as a preview of the newly expanded version of the Eras Tour film, titled The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version). This re-edited cut features five additional songs that were originally omitted from the theatrical version which played in cinemas worldwide last August.
In addition to the full “Cardigan” performance, the streaming release will also include acoustic renditions of hits like “The Archer,” “Long Live,” and “Wildest Dreams” – special surprise songs Swift treated audiences to during select shows of her iconic Los Angeles residency at SoFi Stadium.
The release follows the limited theatrical run and previous digital on-demand release of an extended cut on platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV+, and YouTube TV. However, that version did not contain the highly-anticipated “Cardigan” performance fans have been clamoring for.
The unveiling of the “Cardigan” clip is stoking excitement among the singer’s massive fanbase. The haunting fan-favorite track from her acclaimed folklore album helped define the pandemic era for many listeners when it was released in 2020. Its striking music video racked up over 50 million views in just 24 hours upon its premiere.
As Taylor’s Version re-recordings continue to thrill fans and rack up commercial success, the Eras Tour film offers an electrifying snapshot of Swift’s first tour celebrating her iconic catalog from opening act to headliner. The streaming release promises to be must-see viewing for Swifties worldwide.
