Unexpected Grammy Omission
Taylor Swift's highly successful 'Eras Tour' concert film was notably absent from the nominations for the Best Music Film category at the 2025 Grammy Awards, despite its record-breaking success.
Record-Breaking Success
- The film grossed over $250 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing concert film ever.
- Featuring a runtime of two hours and 49 minutes, it met all criteria for award eligibility.
Strategic Distribution
Swift’s approach to the film's release was unconventional, as she partnered with AMC as a distributor amidst a contentious Hollywood strike, bypassing production studios entirely.
Other Nominations
While 'The Eras Tour' film did not receive a nomination, Swift garnered recognition in six other categories, including:
- Album of the Year: for 'The Tortured Poets Department'
- Record of the Year: for her duet with Post Malone on 'Fortnight'
- Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: for her collaboration with Gracie Abrams on 'Us.'
Competition Overview
The five films nominated in the best music film category include:
- American Symphony - about Jon Batiste and his wife
- June - about June Carter Cash
- Kings From Queens - about Run DMC
- Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple
- The Greatest Night In Pop - focusing on the charitably successful "We Are the World"
Looking Forward
The Grammy Awards are set for February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with broadcasts on CBS and streaming available via Paramount+.
