JAKARTA - Taylor Swift returns to the big screen in October. This time not through a film but a special event in the form of a 89-minute release party entitled "Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl".

The event will be held simultaneously with the launch of its new album, "The Life of a Showgirl", on October 3.

The release party will be held massively as well as the secret sessions of Swift's always awaited album, Swifties. The screening will be available at all 540 AMC Theater locations, in accordance with the film distribution agreement between the pop diva and AMC Theater Distribution.

In addition, thousands of non-AMC cinemas in North America, including Cinemark and Legal Theaters, will also broadcast this event.

The main attraction for Swifties is the premiere of the first music video from a new album, namely the song The Fate of Ophelia. In addition, the event will feature behind-the-scenes footage during the making of the music video "Ophelia", lyric video for other songs, as well as never-fore-seen personal reflections (personal reflections that Swift has never seen before) about her latest songs.

AMC Theaters Distribution stated that this event will be held differently, such as screening films in theaters, where in general spectators are prohibited from making voices that can disturb other audiences.

Although usually prohibited during traditional performances, AMC guests are welcome to sing and dance during Taylor Swift: Official Release Festival of A Showgirl, AMC Theater Distribution said in an official announcement, citing Variety, Monday, September 22.

But to avoid chaos, the announcement asks everyone who comes not to stand in the chair or block the hallway or stairs. In addition, no trailers or advertisements will be played before the event starts, so viewers are advised to arrive on time.

Apart from the US, the event will also be broadcast in more than a hundred other countries, although not simultaneously. Several countries will broadcast release parties in conjunction with schedules in the US, including Canada, Mexico, England, France, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

Other countries that are not included in the list will get a screening schedule at the end of October, where a more detailed schedule will be announced around October 3.
