Is Taylor Swift Releasing a Film at VIFF 2025? The Truth

by

Taylor Swift fans are down bad for the singer to make her directorial debut.

There’s been a lot of talk about the Grammy winner potentially diving into filmmaking, which has sparked curiosity among Swifties: could Taylor Swift release a movie or documentary this year? The speculation grew when the Vancouver International Film Festival hinted at her “Life of a Showgirl” theme by posting their upcoming lineup behind an orange lock, along with the caption, “Get ready for it! The #VIFF2025 full festival lineup will be unveiled on August 27.” This has fueled the belief that Taylor’s movie might be releasing earlier than expected.

Furthermore, adding to the speculations, on August 14th, Taylor Nation shared a post displaying an orange lock accompanied by the caption, “We seem to have misplaced the key! It was last seen in Vancouver.

However, TopMob News has learned Taylor will not be in attendance at the Canadian film festival.

VIFF also shut down the theories that Taylor will be showcasing a project there.

In a recent update on our social media platforms, the VIFF team clarified that there will not be a Taylor Swift documentary premiering at this year’s festival. Although we were mentioned in a popular TikTok video predicting her presence and flattered to be part of the Easter egg discussion, we’re thrilled to share what we have lined up for #VIFF2025 instead! Fingers crossed for no ‘Bad Blood’.

Since 2022, conversations about Taylor’s directorial project have persisted, with Searchlight Pictures announcing that the Grammy-winning artist will helm a movie inspired by an original screenplay.

Taylor is a remarkable artist and storyteller, one of a kind in this generation, according to Searchlight Presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield in their December 2022 statement. They expressed it was an authentic pleasure and honor to work with her as she embarks on this fresh and innovative creative adventure.

Following that period, details about the project remained sparse. However, whispers started circulating that screenwriter Alice Birch might have joined the team. Nonetheless, a reliable production insider confirmed to TopMob News that those rumors are indeed unfounded, and it’s still just Taylor herself who is handling the screenwriting duties for the project.

It’s being speculated among fans that the “Anti-Hero” artist might be planning another tour movie: potentially a backstage documentary, hinted by the fact that she was seen filming her concerts in Vancouver, B.C., last year, even after her concert movie had already been released on Disney+.

For more Taylor easter eggs ahead of her Life of a Showgirl era, read on.

Taylor Swift likely wouldn’t display a countdown clock on her website, counting down to “12 at 12:12 AM ET,” with a sparkly orange backdrop, without any apparent purpose.

On August 12, 2024, Taylor was snapped donning a coordinated ensemble of a mini skirt and jacket featuring a plaid pattern. However, she exuded anything but a bewildered vibe in her attire.

According to detective Kristen (@perfectlyfine89), it seems that Taylor might be intentionally focusing her gaze directly into the camera lens. Additionally, the color scheme of her attire – orange and green – corresponds with the hues found on the cover of “The Life of a Showgirl” book, which Taylor unveiled a year later in conversation with Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce on their “New Heights” podcast.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share an exclusive sneak peek from the future! At precisely 12:12 a.m. ET on August 12, 2025, I found myself captivated by a tantalizing teaser. In my hands was a striking mint-green briefcase, proudly displaying “T.S.” in bold orange letters – a hint at the upcoming 12th studio album from none other than Taylor herself! Although the contents were blurred for now, the vibrant green and orange hues left me with no doubt about their identity. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting musical journey!

Indeed, Taylor expresses strong feelings towards plaid, as evident by her choice to don a tartan pattern at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. At that very event, she famously declared, “my boyfriend Travis.

Preorders for “The Life of a Showgirl” are now open on Taylor’s website. They specify that whichever format you choose-be it vinyl, CD, or cassette-it will be shipped to you prior to October 13th.

Indeed, Taylor’s connection to the number 13 is undeniable. Moreover, it’s worth noting that October 3rd (often represented as 10-3) carries a double significance – it’s both National Plaid Day and National Boyfriend’s Day. As you can see from the information above…

In the world of Taylor, hindsight is crystal clear. On the morning of August 11th, the authentic Taylor Nation social media accounts shared a series of 12 pictures displaying Taylor on stage wearing different orange outfits. The accompanying caption read, “Reminiscing about when she said ‘I’ll see you in the next phase…

Travis and Jason hinted playfully about a “very special guest” on an upcoming unique episode of New Heights, airing August 13th at 7 p.m. ET, subtly suggesting it might be Taylor Swift. To even the most casual Swifties, this was clearly a silhouette of her in the promotional post.

The Empire State Building was earlier illuminated orange to celebrate the event, as depicted in a photo shared by the official NYC landmark account on August 11 at 1:45 p.m. ET, with the caption “Until the next chapter.

On October 18th, 2024, I was utterly elated as I stood in my coveted spot, section A12, at the Hard Rock Stadium for Taylor’s first Miami show on her Eras Tour. Talk about goosebumps when I realized it was the 12th August edition, album 12?! This was a moment I had waited years to experience!

Later on, she donned a glittering orange jumpsuit, exclaiming, “Miami, we’re back!”, and followed it with a green skirt and orange top in the 1989 segment of the performance. To add to that, she wore an eye-catching white feathered costume while singing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”, giving off a clear Vegas showgirl vibe.

Her way of saying that her next album was finished and this is what it looks like?

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I must clarify that while the traditional Miami Hurricanes colors are indeed red and white, it’s worth noting that orange and green also hold a special place in the team’s history. After all, truth can often encompass multiple facets!

A Spotify playlist named “And, baby, that’s show business for you” is currently available, bearing the iconic orange T.S. letters on a green backdrop as its cover art.

There are, as a matter of fact, 22 songs by Taylor Swift that were produced by the renowned Swedish duo Max Martin, Shellback (also known as Karl Johan Schuster). This has fueled fans’ theories that she wrote her entire album “The Life of a Showgirl” during her European tour, with their help bringing it to fruition.

It was observed by fans that the backdrop of the “New Heights” podcast displayed several boxes in colors like orange, red, white, and purple, each labeled with the initials “T.S.”. This suggests that there might be different versions of her upcoming album or additional music on the horizon.

Taylor found a fan theory on X (formerly Twitter) intriguing, which suggested that Lady Gaga intentionally released her song “Applause” on August 12th – exactly 12 years after Taylor announced her show Life of a Showgirl. This coincidence was noteworthy because Taylor had been opening her Eras Tour nights with “Applause,” along with Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.” The theory implied a potential connection or homage between the two artists’ performances.

Taylor appreciated a fan’s post suggesting a potential collaboration with Lady Gaga: “Could this be an incredibly fortunate coincidence, or perhaps she’s unusually creative?

Fans of Taylor Swift, often referred to as Swifties, started guessing that Sabrina Carpenter might be part of the upcoming project “Life of a Showgirl” when she showed up in the twelfth slide of a photo gallery shared by Taylor Nation hinting at the next era. Additionally, Sabrina posted a message on her website with the date August 12th, further fueling speculation.
