The Eras tour movie: can Taylor Swift get any bigger?
Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
This week, we’re talking about the show, and pop star, of the century: Taylor Swift just released the film version of her Eras concert in theatres, and it’s already breaking records. Lilah hosts a roundtable on both the film and the Taylor phenomenon with HTSI Editor Jo Ellison and US media correspondent Anna Nicolaou. How did we all get wrapped up in the hype? Is there anywhere else for Swift to go? Listen wherever you get your podcasts, or at http://ft.com.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/ftweekendpodcast.
