Inside Taylor Swift’s upcoming feature directorial debut

Taylor Swift is all set to debut in the world of feature film directing!

The songstress, who dropped her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, just days ago, also debuted her movie, “Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl." According to Variety, the latter was a massive hit, beating two Hollywood giants at the box office: Leonardo DiCaprio's One Battle After Another and Dwayne Johnson's The Smashing Machine."

As for her directorial debut, according to the outlet, Taylor Swift announced she would be writing and directing the project in 2022, in collaboration with Searchlight Pictures. At the time, further details about the same were scarce, though in interviews over the years, she's hinted at a dramatic and comedic script.

Here's everything we know so far about Taylor Swift's upcoming feature directorial debut:

According to Harper's Bazaar, Taylor Swift previously directed the 14-minute short film All Too Well: The Short Film, which was inspired by the 10-minute version of her hit song, "All Too Well." The film starred Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien, and it allegedly delved into her short-lived romance with actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

However, her forthcoming venture marks her first feature movie. As of this writing, details still remain scarce, though several outlets have reported that the script is an "original," which Searchlight Pictures picked up. The plot and cast remain under wraps, which means it's unclear if Taylor Swift herself will star in her project.

“Taylor is a once in a generation artist and storyteller. It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey,” Searchlight Presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield said in a statement at the time of the project announcement in 2022.

Back in 2022, when All Too Well: The Short Film made its debut at the Tribeca Film Festical, the songstress opened up about how she chose to approach the project:

"I think I gave myself permission to completely make that jump into making a narrative short film because this is not a music video; we approached everything differently," she explained. "You know, in shooting on 35 millimeter and all the decisions that were made to create these characters and dive into this world."

She also teased fans on working on a longer project, six months before she affirmed she was working on a feature film:

"It would be so fantastic to write and direct something, you know, a feature," she added during the talkback. "I don't see it being bigger in terms of scale. I loved making a film that was so intimate and with a crew that was relatively small and just a really solid crew of people that I trusted."
