Airdate: Taylor Swift: City of Lover Concert

She didn’t sing at the Melbourne Cup as planned, but Taylor Swift performs in Taylor Swift: City of Lover Concert on Disney+ on Monday.

Filmed last September at L’Olympia Theatre in Paris, Swift performs songs from her “Lover” album to an intimate crowd of fans from 37 countries.

The musical event gives fans unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes moments with the artist and marks her only concert performance this year, after her Lover Fest tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taylor Swift’s seventh studio album “Lover” is not only the top-selling album of 2019, it is the highest-selling album since “reputation” was released back in 2017 and broke the record for most simultaneous entries by a female artist in Billboard’s Hot 100 history. With all 18 tracks from “Lover” charting, it was the only album to sell 1 million in U.S. pure album sales in 2019. This is a testament not only to Taylor’s devoted fans but also to her songwriting prowess. As USA Today said, “Critics are falling in love with Taylor Swift’s latest album ‘Lover.’” Rolling Stone hailed, “’Lover’ is a career-topping masterpiece” and “the superstar’s writing is better than it’s ever been.” A.V. Club called “Lover,“ “one of her strongest, most relatable albums to date” and Vulture said, “The old Taylor is back on ‘Lover’ and the best she’s been in years.” Taylor is the only artist in history to have four consecutive albums sell over 1 million copies in their week of release (“Speak Now,” “RED,” “1989” and “reputation”) and the only female artist to have six albums each sell at least 500,000 copies in a single week (“Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “RED,” “1989,” “reputation” and “Lover”).

Monday May 18 at 5pm AEST on Disney+.
