Everything We Know About Taylor Swift’s New Movie
THE RUNDOWN
- Taylor Swift announced she was working on a feature film in 2022.
- The star’s website has been updated to reflect her directed projects.
- She is reportedly the only screenwriter on the movie.
In 2022, it was announced that pop star Taylor Swift would be directing her first feature film in partnership with Searchlight Pictures. At the time, the studio said in a statement, “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.”
This summer, rumors of new screenwriters joining the project started circulating, but a source speaking to E! News on August 8 debunked them, saying Swift is the sole writer on the project.
Here’s what we know about Swift’s film so far.
Has production started on Taylor Swift’s movie?There have been no announcements about Swift’s feature in terms of production. However, fans noticed in August 2025 that a “Directed Projects” section had appeared on her website, which included a number of music videos Swift wrote and/or directed.
It sure seems like the place to make announcements about any other future shorts or features helmed by the 1989 singer.
Who will star in Taylor Swift’s feature film?There’s not yet any news about the cast, but Swift likes to make surprising choices and seems to have her pick of talent for her music videos. One of her longest directed pieces, the music video and short film for the 10-minute rerecording of “All Too Well,” starred Teen Wolf’s Dylan O’Brien and Stranger Things’s Sadie Sink.
Not much, but she has discussed directing. After screening the “All Too Well” short film in 2022 at the Tribeca Film Festival, Swift shared a bit about her process saying, “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. You know, in shooting on 35 millimeter and all the decisions that were made to create these characters and dive into this world.”
