Last year, Swift released an approximately three-hour extended version of her blockbuster concert film , which is available to rent online for $19.89 on Prime Video (which offers exclusive bonus content), Apple TV and other transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) streaming platforms. It includes performances of “Long Live,” “The Archer” and “Wildest Dreams,” which were not in the theatrical run.

In addition to becoming the top-grossing concert movie of all time in North America, the AMC Theatres-distributed Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour earned a Golden Globe nomination for cinematic and box office achievement.

Where to Watch Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) Concert Film Online

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) will be available to stream on-demand on Disney+ on March 14 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. Although the streamer doesn’t currently offer a free trial, Verizon Wireless subscribers with eligible Unlimited plans can get Disney+ for free for six months when they sign up by May 17 — so you can technically stream The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) online for free; learn more here .

Disney+ costs $7.99 per month for the ad-supported plan, but one of the best deals on the streamer is the Disney Bundle . New or returning subscribers save 44 percent off the Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu bundle compared to paying for each service separately. That brings the price to $14.99 per month, compared to $26.97 monthly separately.

You can also upgrade to the  ad-free version of the Disney Bundle for $24.99 — a 42 percent savings over paying for each service without ads individually. Lock in the price to get all three streamers mentioned above, with no ads on Hulu or Disney+. The plan also lets you download content to watch on the go (say, for when you don’t have a WiFi connection).

Fans don’t need to be a member of Amazon Prime or Prime Video to stream the movie on the platform; however, those who want to watch on Apple TV will need an Apple TV+ subscription to buy or rent on that service. If you stream The Eras Tour on Prime Video , you’ll get access to additional X-Ray content that will showcase each song as it plays in the film and the ability to connect to Amazon Music to listen to more tracks from the tour.

Taylor Swift performed in Florida for Eras Tour 2023. What were Tampa’s surprise songs?

Throughout the Eras Tour, Swift has performed two songs, usually album deep cuts, not on her setlist at each show. She has brought out collaborators like Aaron Dresner, Jack Antonoff and Marcus Mumford to join her on the stage. 

She does not repeat surprise songs on tour unless she messes it up, then it is back in the running to be sung at another show. 

Thursday, April 13: “Speak now” and “Treacherous”

Friday, April 14: “You’re on You’re Own Kid” and “The Great War”

Saturday, April 15: “Mad Woman” and “Mean”

What special dances or chants should I know ahead of time?

USA TODAY rounded up all of the  special dances, chants and outfits  to bring out during the Eras tour. Some of the top ones are:

'Delicate' chant

At the start of " Delicate ," right after Swift sings "We can't make any promises now can we, babe? But you can make me a drink," fans have taken to yelling: "One, two, three, let's go b----!" The chant was popularized after a viral vine.

'Bad Blood' chant

In 2015,  Swift came out with a remix to her hit song "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar . During the concert, fans repeat a line of Lamar's part during the bridge.

In the "Anti-Hero" remix with Bleachers' frontman Jack Antonoff, he sings "Taylor, you'll be fine" after Swift sings "Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman?" in the second pre-chorus.

Fans are singing Antonoff's "Taylor, you'll be fine" at the same spot during the concert.

'Bejeweled' dance

A dance move created and made popular by TikTok user  @mikael.arellano  made its way into Swift's choreography. During  "Bejeweled,"  when Swift sings the word "shimmer," flutter your fingers out in front of you.

What other Taylor Swift documentaries can I watch in the meantime?

If those looking to dig a little deeper into Swift's lore, it’s about time to visit the 2020 documentary " Miss Americana " on Netflix.

The film follows Swift as she creates songs for her 2019 album "Lover" and reflects on her rise to fame and her songwriting process. It also gives fans an inside look at footage at her past concerts and gives Swift a spotlight to discuss topics she had never before, such as politics, failures with previous music and her reputation.

Vision Pro details revealed in new Apple Guided Tour

Apple's Allessandra McGinnis takes a new Vision Pro user through a guided tour

Apple demoed Vision Pro at WWDC 2023, and it's been giving selected journalists a walkthrough in person, but now it's released an almost 10-minute guided tour. It's done as if we are with someone being shown how to use Vision Pro for the first time, and it's a particularly well-produced video.

Presented on Apple's new Vision Pro site, the video is hosted by Allessandra McGinnis Product Manager, Apple Vision Pro. She demonstrates the functions of Vision Pro to a man, named only as Will, who is said to have never tried it before.

The video covers everything that has already been revealed about Vision Pro, such as opening apps, moving and resizing them, plus Will gets to the meditation and mindfulness app that hands-on reviewers have described.

What's new, though, is the specifics of how all of the actions are accomplished. Through Will, we are shown how to zoom into a photo, or stretch that photo out to room size, for instance.

Plus, while this is only shown briefly, the tour details how to use Vision Pro with a Mac , to have the computer's screens appear floating in the headset. And it also shows just how someone approaching the Vision Pro wearer comes into view even when the user is seemingly surrounded by images.

Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499 and pre-orders have begun , but shipping dates are already slipping back.

Today is Taylor Swift’s 34th birthday, so the pop megastar has gifted fans the ability to watch her record-breaking Eras Tour from the comfort of the sofa.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Extended Version) brings the incredible cinematic live recording of Swift’s SoFi Stadium performance to Apple TV and other streaming platforms with three added songs that weren’t included in the theater release from earlier this year.

The “Extended Version” is 3 hours and 1 minute long with extra performances that make the viewing experience from home an extra treat for fans.

The Apple TV listing reads, “Experience Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Extended Version), including three songs from the tour not shown in theaters: "Long Live," "The Archer" and "Wildest Dreams." Immerse yourself in cinematic views from the history-making tour, which features music from Taylor's 17-year award-winning career.”

You can rent the movie for $19.89 (The year Taylor Swift was born and the title of her hit album) and will have 48 hours to watch the full show. It’s definitely pricy, but considering tickets to her sold-out Eras Tour sell for hundreds of dollars, it may be worth the early Christmas treat.

Eras Tour from the comfort of your home

Watching Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour at home is the perfect early holiday gift for the Swiftie in your life. As someone who loves the album “Folklore” and the boyfriend of a Taylor Swift fan, I went to see the cinematic experience at my local cinema a few months ago. I absolutely loved the whole thing, from how it was filmed to the energy in the stadium perceived on the silver screen. One thing I didn’t enjoy, however, was the audio quality in the cinema so I’m looking forward to singing along to Cruel Summer again with my surround sound setup in my living room.

The 24 Best Shows on Apple TV+ Right Now

Slowly but surely, Apple TV+ is finding its feet. The streaming service, which at launch we called “odd, angsty, and horny as hell,” has evolved into a diverse library of dramas, documentaries, and comedies. Now, it’s library is so packed, we’ve declared it “ the new HBO .”

Curious but don’t know where to get started? Below are our picks for the best shows on the service. (Also, here are our picks for the best movies on Apple TV+ .) When you’re done, head over to our guides to the best shows on Netflix , best movies on Hulu , and best movies on Amazon Prime , because you can never have too much television.

If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. Learn more .

Around here we have a theory that Apple TV+ is the new HBO . At the same time, we also wonder among ourselves whether it’s the new Syfy. After opening with a bang in 2019 with For All Mankind , it has released a steady drumbeat of trippy, spacey, timey-wimey prestige shows, from Foundation to Severance . The latest is Constellation , an eight-part thriller about an astronaut (Noomi Rapace) who returns to Earth after a disaster in space to find things are very off. Brain-bending and tense, it’s the kind of sci-fi that sucks you in. Get lost.

Generally speaking, “World War II drama” and Steven Spielberg is probably enough to get anyone to click Play on this series, but it’s got a lot more than just a good elevator pitch. Based on Donald L. Miller’s Masters of the Air , this series dives deep into the lives of the 100th Bomb Group—aka the “Bloody Hundredth”—a group of pilots tasked with risking their lives to fight Nazi Germany from the air. Spielberg and Tom Hanks serve as executive producers, and the cast features Elvis himself, Austin Butler, as well as Saltburn ’s Barry Keoghan and Doctor Who ’s new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa.

Keeping with the World War II theme, The New Look follows Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Pierre Balmain, and Cristóbal Balenciaga as they lay the path for modern fashion in Nazi-occupied Paris. The cast features Ben Mendelsohn as Christian Dior, Juliette Binoche as Coco Chanel, and Maisie Williams as Catherine Dior, and also has a soundtrack courtesy of Jack Antonoff that’s chock full of early 20th century music covered by the likes of Perfume Genius and Florence Welch.

Apple TV+’s dramas are on a hot streak lately. Now that stellar series like For All Mankind and Slow Horses are finally getting audiences, the streamer is putting more in their queues with Criminal Record . Starring former Doctor Who Doctor Peter Capaldi, the crime drama follows two cops—Capaldi’s Daniel Hegarty and Cush Jumbo’s June Lenker—as they try to get to the bottom of a long-settled case. Daniel worked the case originally and got a confession; June got a fresh tip and wants him to reopen it and find out whether the man who went away for murder is actually innocent. Might sound a bit overdone, but the series also works in elements of law enforcement shortcomings and race in a rapidly-changing Britain for a series that’s about more than just one case.

There’s this face Idris Elba does. He’s been perfecting it since he was Stringer Bell on The Wire . It’s the look of total calm even when he’s talking about the most harrowing thing you can imagine. That face gets a full workout in Hijack , in which Elba plays a corporate negotiator who finds himself trying to settle things with a group of, yes, hijackers who have taken over the flight he’s boarded to get home to his family. This series is seven episodes, roughly seven hours—the same length of the flight, and it follows the drama in the air and the political maneuvering below before attempting to stick the landing. Do stay around until the end.

Long before Foundation , there was For All Mankind . The show not only set the tone for the kind of glossy prestige sci-fi Apple TV+ had ambitions to make, but it was also the streaming service's attempt to plant its flag in the realm of streaming giants . A solid slice of alternate history, the show starts with a very smart premise: What if the US had been edged out in putting a man on the moon? How would the space-race rivalry between the Americans and the Soviets have played out? It's mostly a slick, stylish, NASA-heavy period drama, but as this is from the brain of Ronald D. Moore, there are a few standout moments and episodes with attention shared around the large ensemble cast. It might be the best sci-fi show you're not watching, and if that's true you now have four seasons to catch up on.

If your home screen hasn't made it obvious, Apple TV+ is super stoked about soccer these days. The streamer's latest foray: Messi Meets America , a six-part docuseries about all-star player Lionel Messi's move to Major League Soccer's Inter Miami club. The first three episodes aired on October 11, 2023, and subsequent episodes aired in conjunction with last year's MLS season. Messi Mania, indeed.

Based on the debut novel from science writer Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry is the story of Elizabeth Zott (Brie Larson), who gets hired to host a cooking show after she's fired from the lab she was working in for doing science while female. Obviously, the show Elizabeth puts on ends up being about a lot more than just having dinner on the table at 6 pm, but we suggest you watch to find out just how revolutionary it is.

Every streaming service needs a flashy mainstream drama with Hollywood heavyweights to pull in viewers. Apple TV+ has The Morning Show . When Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) loses her morning news program cohost Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) following sexual misconduct accusations, she gets paired up with Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon). What unfolds is a #MeToo-era drama full of TV network intrigue and Sorkin-lite dialog. In its second season, it went deep on Covid-19, and in the third season the series' fictional network, UBA, finds itself dealing with the aftermath of a cyberattack. With that new season launching September 13, now is a good time to dive back in—or watch for the first time.

This Elisabeth Moss psychological thriller/murder mystery came out in 2022 and never really got the buzz it likely deserved. All of that to say, you should probably watch it if you haven't already. Moss plays Kirby, a woman who believes a recent Chicago murder may be linked to an attack on her many years prior. She teams with a Sun-Times reporter to investigate, but the deeper she digs the more her own reality starts to shift. Based on the book The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes, this series may seem like just another murder mystery, but its sci-fi twists put it one step ahead.

WIRED called Foundation a “flawed masterpiece” in our review of the first season. Considering the complexities of adapting a sprawling Isaac Asimov book series, it was high praise. Now, the dizzyingly ambitious Foundation is back for its second season. Starring Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, a math professor who, along with his loyal followers, is exiled for predicting the oncoming end of the galactic empire that rules over them, the show often suffers under the weight of its own massive scope. But it also features wonderful performances from Lee Pace and beautiful images inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope . If you have a soft spot for big sci-fi dramas, this Game-of-Thrones -in-space wannabe is a must-watch.

Set in the late 1970s, The Crowded Room stars Tom Holland as Danny Sullivan, a young man arrested after a grisly shooting in New York City. Following his arrest, this 10-episode limited series unfolds into a twisty whodunit as interrogator Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried) tries to suss out what happened with the shooting and the peculiar events in Sullivan’s past that may have shaped how he ended up involved. Holland told Extra that the shoot for The Crowded Room , which he also produced, “broke” him, leading to him taking a yearlong hiatus from acting. Want to see why? Watch now.

As WIRED's Kate Knibbs noted in the wake of Silo 's release, this show is prestige sci-fi gold . Based on a dystopian book trilogy by Hugh Howey , the series focuses on a subterranean bunker—the silo of the title—where humanity has sequestered itself after the apocalypse. Some are hoping to win the chance to reproduce, some are trying to solve mysterious murders. Everyone watching is enjoying figuring out what's going on in this underground city—and what's happening outside of it.

On paper,  Ted Lasso sounds terrible. The inconceivable story of an American football coach who has never watched a game of soccer somehow landing himself a job as coach of a (fictional) Premier League club and trying to make up for his total lack of qualifications by being a nice guy. Sounds unwatchable, doesn’t it? And yet  Ted Lasso has captured the hearts and minds of viewers on both sides of the pond with its large-as-life cast and irresistibly wholesome messaging, hoovering up awards in the process. The third and final season wraps up on May 31, so now is the perfect time to binge it all.

The Patricia Arquette–aissance doesn’t get as much ink as Matthew McConaughey or Keanu Reeves did during their second comings, but it’s here—in part thanks to the rise of streaming. Between  The Act and  Severance , Arquette has received some of the highest accolades of her long career recently, and  High Desert  seems poised to keep the award nominations coming. While coming to terms with the death of her mother, Peggy (Arquette)—an addict—decides she wants to pick up the pieces of her life and become a private investigator. She finds an unwitting employer/sometime mentor in Bruce Harvey (Brad Garrett), but not everyone is onboard with Peggy’s career decisions—namely, her straitlaced sister (Christine Taylor). It’s an odd duck of a show, which is perfectly suited to Arquette’s ethereal acting style, allowing her to seamlessly flit between moments of tragedy and laugh-out-loud comedy, with the audiences doing their best to keep up. The all-star cast is made even more impressive by recurring appearances from Bernadette Peters as Peggy’s late mom.

Look, Discovery doesn't get to corner the market on animal documentaries—and this 10-part docuseries proves it. Featuring elephant seals, brown bears, orangutans, giant otters, and all kinds of massive mammals in between, it's the perfect thing if you just want to escape and learn a few tidbits about nature. But the best part? It's narrated by Tom Hiddleston, and there's just something charming about hearing the voice of Loki talk about a bunch of different animals he could turn himself into in the blink of an eye.

Continuing the “big” theme, The Big Door Prize , in which Chris O'Dowd plays a 40-year-old high school teacher named Dusty who's pretty content with his life until a magic machine shows up in his small town. The machine, you see, tells people their life's potential, and as soon as people around him start using it, everything changes. Marriages end, paths divert, and eventually Dusty must confront whether he's happy in his own life.

Do you enjoy  In Treatment  but wish it was, you know, fun? Then  Shrinking  may be right for you. Created by Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein—of  Ted Lasso fame—and Jason Segel, the show is about Jimmy (Segel), a therapist struggling to get over the death of his wife and reconnect with his daughter and patients. That may sound like a downer, and the show isn’t without its harder moments, but it’s buoyed by the fact that it’s also a workplace comedy focusing on the therapy practice where Jimmy works alongside Harrison Ford’s Paul and Jessica Williams’ Gaby.  Shrinking , ultimately, is about the things people do to cope, but it also features a dream team of a cast and one very memorable party scene featuring an (unrelated) vomit-soaked piano and a super-stoned Ford.

Cinematically, M. Night Shyamalan can be a little hit-or-miss, but Servant , which the filmmaker executive produces and occasionally directs, is stellar. It's about a Philadelphia couple—a chef and a news anchor—who lose a child only to have it mysteriously come back to life (maybe) with the arrival of their new nanny. (You really just need to watch the show for any of this to make sense.) Moody, freaky, and occasionally even funny, it'll suck you in. And now that it wrapped its fourth and final season, there’s plenty to enjoy.

Claire Danes doing her best trembling-chin acting in period garb; Tom Hiddleston as a town vicar; rumors about a mysterious mythological serpent—is there anything not to love about this show? No, there’s not. The Essex Serpent , based on the novel by Sarah Perry, follows a recent widow (Danes) as she heads to the countryside in Essex to investigate a “sea dragon.” There, she meets a vicar, Will (Hiddleston), who is far more skeptical of the serpent’s existence. Lush and inviting, it’s the ideal period mystery.

Out of all the shows on this list, Severance may be the one that firmly established Apple TV+ as a streaming player with edgy prestige content. Adam Scott plays Mark, a man distraught by the death of his wife who opts to undergo Severance, a procedure that divides his memories of work from those of his life at home. He’s quite happy with the setup until a former Lumon Industries coworker tracks him down when he’s out-of-office, setting off a series of events that makes him question not only Severance but the work his company does. From there, it only gets more weird and bleak with each passing minute. Tense and heartbreaking, this show, the bulk of which was directed by Ben Stiller, will keep you guessing and questioning the whole way through.

Originally released when Donald Trump was still president of the United States, Little America was and remains a timely reminder of what actually makes America great. Each episode of this anthology series focuses on a different story of immigrants living in America. From an undocumented high school student who discovers a talent for squash to a “bra whisperer” in Brooklyn, every one of these 30-minute vignettes—all of them based on real people—is inspiring and important viewing.

An all-too-rare example of a video game TV show that really works, Mythic Quest is one of the best new workplace comedies of the past few years. Presented in perfectly bingeable half-hour episodes, the show follows a fictional game studio known for its World of Warcraft –like MMO, Mythic Quest , as the people who make it slalom through their many quirky relationships. The writing is excellent, consistently funny and emotionally impactful when you least expect it, and the show manages to confront real issues in the industry without sacrificing laughs.

Hailee Steinfeld is a riotous young Emily Dickinson in this half-hour show from creator Alena Smith. It was part of the original Apple TV+ lineup and quickly distinguished itself thanks to its off-kilter vision of 19th century Amherst, Massachusetts. The first season is a set of sharp, surreal vignettes, inspired by Dickinson's work and tracing the imagined life of the young poet, who is rebelling against her father, the town's societal rules, and just about everything else. The second and third seasons go deeper, examining not only the poet's life, but also the roles that race, gender, sexuality, and class played in the early days of America. If you're a Dickinson stan, love a bit of smart queer dramedy, or just have a penchant for a modern soundtrack in a Civil War–era show, you’ll dig this.

New on Apple TV Plus in April 2024 — all the new shows and movies

All the new TV shows and movies you can watch on Apple TV Plus this month

April showers bring new additions to Apple TV Plus, so there are even more things that you can settle in and stream with your friends and family. 

This month, Apple TV Plus is offering something for everyone, from a detective noir to light-hearted comedies.

"Sugar" follows Colin Farrell as he transforms into a private investigator on the trail of a missing Hollywood producer's daughter. He ends up unearthing more about the producer's family the closer he gets to the missing girl — but some secrets were never meant to be shared. 

"Loot" returns for a second season that focuses on the aftermath of Molly Wells' divorce. Though she pivots to a wellness journey after her very public separation, she still charged with figuring out a way to part with her massive fortune. This time around, though, she's trying to find a way to take better care of herself, too. 

There's much more where that came from. Here's everything new on Apple TV Plus in April 2024.

'Loot' season 2

It's been a year since Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) has settled her messy divorce from billionare John Novak (Adam Scott). But she isn't sitting on her laurels. Wells enjoys life as a newly single woman by focusing on herself and what makes her tick as she explores new relationships and thrives as the head of her charitable organization, the Wells Foundation. She doesn't need anyone but assistant Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster) by her side, at least for the moment — as long as he keeps bringing her drinks and green smoothies, of course. Meanwhile, she still has to figure out a way to give away the vast amount of cash she has.

John Sugar (Colin Farrell) is a private investigator who's hot on the trail of a missing girl named Olivia, the granddaughter of a legendary Hollywood producer. While Sugar is on the case, however, he ends up unraveling more than just the secrets behind Olivia's whereabouts. He also has to grapple with the Siegel family's deepest darkest secrets. And as it turns out, the Siegel family doesn't just want Olivia back, but it wants to keep all its dirty laundry buried, right where it belongs. In this noir detective series, nothing is quite what it seems. 

Premieres April 5 on Apple TV Plus

'Girls State'

The future is female, and we're seeing it with all the girls who are coming of age during one of the most politically charged times in the history of American democracy. This documentary follows a set of aspiring young female leaders from different walks of life in Missouri as they work on their own unique experiment to build a government from scratch using what they know and believe — hopefully, better than the one already in place.

We all know Benjamin Franklin and what he did for our country in December 1776. The man helped to bring us one of the most important conveniences in our modern world: electricity. But in this historical drama, the Founding Father's passion for bringing the commodity to Americans everywhere is put to the test with a clandestine mission he must undertake in France. 

Premieres April 12 on Apple TV Plus

'The Big Door Prize' season 2

The bizarre mystery continues in "The Big Door Prize," with the second season promising to bring some much-needed answers. The dramedy is set in a small town where a strange machine appears one day that can magically show everyone their true potential in life. When the townsfolk see what they're capable of, it upends relationships, changes their careers, and forces them to challenge what they've long held dear, all in the name of a better life for each of them — but at what cost?
