Fans who failed to secure tickets to Taylor Swift's sold-out The Eras Tour shows can finally watch her performance on the big screen. Swifties who will attend the world premiere might also score the chance to see the singer in person.
"Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" will mark the world premiere at The Grove before the film conquers other countries' cinemas and big screens. Attendees present at the venue might also receive a treat from the "August" singer herself.
Will Taylor Swift Attend "The Eras Tour" World Premiere at The Grove?
Sources told a news outlet that Swift plans to attend the event to surprise the 2,200 fans who will attend the movie screenings at the 14 AMC theaters.
However, the insiders clarified that the appearance might not happen for a long time as she may get pulled if a security issue occurs or if the venue experiences an overwhelming response to Swift's reported appearance.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation told Deadline that the permitted road closure started at 3 p.m. The LAPD's Wilshire Division has also been tasked to offer a "strong presence" at the event.
"As everyone in Los Angeles knows, we have a history of ensuring large-scale entertainment events occur without incident," that official added. "This will be no different."
CEO of World Protection Group Kent Moyer said the law enforcement definitely prepared for the world premiere like it is the Academy Awards or the Golden Globes.

Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" Movie Expects a $100 Million Debut
Ahead of the world premiere, Variety estimated that the concert film might open to $100 million at the domestic box office alone. The figures are expected to go higher once it begins playing in theaters.
The "Eras Tour" will officially open on Friday the 13th - Swift's lucky number - at 6 p.m. local time.
It is also expected to become the top 10 biggest films of the year, joining Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One," "Fast X" and "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."
"These ticket sales rival a major movie. Nobody has ever seen this come out of a concert film," Cory Jacobson, Phoenix Theatre's owner, said. "It's an unexpected bolstering of theatrical revenue that we need."
