Her award wins, her exciting new relationship, and the billion-dollar Eras tour have made her the center of attention since 2023. However, there is one more thing on the horizon for the songstress that is about to generate significant buzz in the coming days: her directorial venture announced in 2022. While this can not technically be called her debut, as fans have already seen her work before, this will be her first full-length feature film.

Puck has recently shared a report confirming Taylor Swift’s likeliness to start working on her Disney movie following Eras Tour. Searchlight Pictures dropped the news in 2022 that they were backing Swift’s directorial and screenwriting debut. Despite the tight lips from both the production company and Swift herself, reports suggest that she already has an original script prepared, which is going to be the foundation of the project.

The chatter around her directorial debut grew after she was seen with the president of Searchlight Pictures at the premiere of Poor Things. Searchlight Presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield also shared how they see Swift as a “once-in-a-generation artist and storyteller”, as per Variety. Apart from her storytelling acumen and her potential to keep up with the stars, there are a few more reasons why this film could change Swift’s trajectory in the industry.
