Swifties worldwide tuned in to the blockbuster three-and-a-half-hour concert film, collectively watching a staggering 16.2 million hours over the weekend.

Debuting on Disney+ worldwide on March 14, “The Eras Tour” presents an expanded version featuring five bonus songs, including “Cardigan” from “Folklore,” along with four acoustic renditions: “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” “Maroon,” “You Are in Love,” and “I Can See You.” These additional tracks, along with “Our Song” and “You’re on Your Own Kid,” are part of the 26-minute Acoustic Collection extra.
