Taylor Swift Movies: From ‘Debut’ to ‘Midnights,’ Stream These Films for Every Era
October 3, 2025
From glittering pop anthems to moody midnight confessions, Taylor Swift has a way of turning every album into a world of its own.
Since day one, her music has the ability to capture the magic of cinema. With each new album comes a new era — a fully realized universe with its own aesthetic, mood, and themes. That ability to reinvent and world-build is what makes her discography so beloved: It feels like something you can step inside and get lost in.
This guide is Hulu’s curated watch list of Taylor Swift movies — era-coded films that capture the emotion, aesthetic, and mood of each album (and yes, one even features a Taylor cameo). Think of it as a new way to immerse yourself in her eras, only this time through the screen instead of the speakers.
Movies With The Life of a Showgirl Era Vibes
The films here revel in show-stopping performances while pulling back the curtain on what it costs to shine.
Amsterdam (2022)
Set in the 1930s, this jazz-age mystery brims with cabaret flair and even briefly features Taylor Swift in a scene-stealing role. The film’s smoky glamour blended with glitz and vulnerability mirror the dazzling spectacle of The Life of a Showgirl.

The Last Showgirl (2024)
This film about a veteran Vegas performer captures the very heart of The Life of a Showgirl — sparkle on stage and vulnerability behind the curtain. It’s about what it costs to live life in the spotlight.
Watch: The Last Showgirl
Showgirls (1995)
Campy, provocative, and unapologetically theatrical, Showgirls embodies the duality of spectacle and grit. Like the album’s themes, this film is about ambition and the high price of being seen.

Movies With The Tortured Poets Department Era Vibes
A title that could sit on a bookshelf as easily as a record sleeve. These movies, like the album, are confessions disguised as stories — messy, literary, and full of beautiful ruin.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Sharing a kinship in name and spirit, Dead Poets Society and The Tortured Poets Department are elegies to art, grief, and the profound weight of words.

Basic Instinct (1992)
Midnights is an album of secrets and temptations, and Basic Instinct lives in that same world. Glittering on the surface but shadowed by obsession, it’s a noir-tinged reflection of the era’s confessional glamour.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
On a windswept coast in 18th-century France, a forbidden love story flickers like a candle in the dark. The movie’s quiet intimacy and aching melancholy feels like it could live inside the Folklore/Evermore universe.

Movies With Lover Era Vibes
If romance had a color palette, it would look like Lover. With bright pastels, mosaic butterflies, and the belief that love can still save the day — these movies glow with the same soft optimism.
Pretty Woman (1990)
On a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Taylor’s beau Travis joked that he is Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman — swept into a fairytale glow-up and swoony romance. That same dreamy magic makes the film feel tailor-made for the Lover era.

Much like 1989, Crossroads is all about new places, old friendships, and self-discovery that happens when you embrace both.

Young love at its brightest — tiaras, twinkling lights, and the thrill of saying “yes.” The movies here lean into the wide-eyed wonder of growing up unafraid.
