AB - Reviews: Digital and Multimedia Scholarship Experiencing Eras, Worldbuilding, and the Prismatic Liveness of Tay- lor Swift and The Eras Tour. Review of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version), directed by Sam Wrench. Taylor Swift Productions, 2023.

When I first heard this line of lyrics, the various star personas—or should I say “eras”—of Taylor Swift flashed through my head. So too did the countless iterations of The Eras Tour. Even though I may never attend The Eras Tour in person, I have attended countless versions of The Eras Tour by other means. I’ve watched and listened through the smartphone cameras of fans who document and share their unofficial fan recordings online and I’ve watched the three official versions of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film from my seat in the theater, faculty office, and couch at home. As Christa Anne Bentley, Paula Clare Harper, and I argue in Taylor Swift: The Star, The Songs, The Fans, Swift is a prismatic figure for the mu- sical world
