Swifties, rejoice!
It’s time for a new Taylor Swift album, just 1½ years after the pop superstar released her last one, “The Tortured Poet’s Department.”
T-Swift’s newest offering, “The Life of a Showgirl,” drops Friday, Oct. 3. And screening parties for the accompanying film are planned at movie theaters across Southwest Florida.
“Looks like it’s time to brush off that Eras Tour outfit or orange cardigan,” Swift wrote last week on Instagram. “Tickets are on sale now. Dancing is optional but very much encouraged.”
Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Bonita Springs theaters will show the 90-minute film celebrating the album release for one weekend only, Friday through Sunday, Oct. 3-5. The film is called “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.”
“Celebrate The Official Release Party of a Showgirl in theaters only…” says a message on the websites for Bonita’s Prado Stadium 12 and North Fort Myers’ AMC Merchants Crossing 16. “See the exclusive world premiere of the music video, ‘The Fate of Ophelia,’ along with behind-the-scenes footage from the music video shoot, brand new lyric videos, and Taylor’s never-before-seen personal reflections on songs from her 12th studio album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.'”
Plenty of tickets remain as of Sept. 24, but they’re expected to go fast.
