It’s her. Hi. She’s the director, it’s her. Yes, Swifties around the globe, rejoice – it has been announced that pop superstar Taylor Swift is directing her very first feature for Searchlight Pictures, based on an original script also written by her. No plot or potential casting details have been released just yet.
This news comes hot on the heels of Swift being named as one of the filmmakers taking part in Variety’s Directors on Directors series – which has caused somewhat of a stir online – after she moved behind the camera for her 2022 extended music video for single ‘All Too Well’, for which she won a Best Direction award at the MTV VMAs.
Swift has also been flexing her acting muscles more of late, with recent appearances in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam and, of course, Tom Hooper’s Cats. Given both of those were box-office flops, lets hope Swift’s own project can shake that reputation off (wink wink) and make more of an impact.
