Taylor Swift premiered her Eras tour concert film Wednesday at the Grove, and there was no shortage of stars in attendance to make the whole place shimmer.
“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay, “Barbie” actor Simu Liu and singer-songwriter Maren Morris were among the celebrities who walked the red carpet in Los Angeles. But the most esteemed guest of the evening — aside from perhaps Swift herself — was the one and only Beyoncé, who is set to release her own Renaissance Tour concert film on Dec. 1.
“PREMIERE DAY,” Swift wrote Wednesday on Instagram.
“I can’t thank you enough for wanting to see this film that so vividly captures my favorite adventure I’ve ever been a part of: The Eras Tour. And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together.”
As influential as her music is, Taylor Swift’s legacy is most clearly reflected in the devotion on display at the world premiere of her new concert film.
Distributed by AMC Theaters and directed by Sam Wrench, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” opens Friday in wide release, along with select advance screenings occurring Thursday in the United States and Canada.
Here’s a sampling of the entertainment luminaries who showed up to Wednesday’s premiere in style.
Taylor Swift
Duh! Of course, Swift attracted the most attention while gracing the red carpet in a pretty periwinkle gown and her signature red lip. Classic.
Beyoncé

Per usual, Beyoncé was one of one while slaying the red carpet in a metallic number and sunglasses reminiscent of the many fashionable costumes she’s worn throughout her Renaissance Tour.
Taylor Swift praised Beyoncé as a ‘guiding light’ after the ‘Renaissance’ artist made a surprise appearance at the Eras tour movie premiere.
“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce‘s influence,” Swift wrote Wednesday night on Instagram.
“The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.”
Simu Liu
