An NCLA Student’s Take on Taylor

By: Nick Swisher

Congratulations to the winner of the two Taylor Swift Eras Tour Movie tickets, Addison Pacific!

The Taylor Swift Eras Tour Movie tickets were provided by Trex Cinema of Kernersville. 

The Eras Tour Movie showed all the behind the scenes work it takes to produce such a show- coming in at an estimated $1 billion gross revenue for the tour (Cain). When asked what Pacific’s favorite part of the movie was she had this to say:

Reputation…I loved the intro- they showed the big snake and everything” 

Pacific continued to comment, saying she has been a Swiftie since 2014, with the majority of her most listened to songs being by Taylor Swift. When asked whether the movie lived up to her expectations, Pacific said:

 “Oh, yeah! 100%. There were some people singing and dancing as well-we definitely got to sing along, too.” 

Reputation has been a widely popular section of this movie, being one of many for the film. This section (Reputation) gives the viewer an insight into, “[Taylor Swift’s] freest, most ambitious singing and movement” (Morris). It also divulges the theatrical productions that go into producing such an elaborate and extravagant concert. 

More of the behind the scene aspects were touched on by Pacific, with her saying how she enjoyed seeing the chants and supportive mantras done by the stage crew during the scene changes, helping support Swift during her performance.
