A video of three toddlers watching Taylor Swift’s concert movie is going viral online—and with good reason.

Swift kicked off the pop-culture juggernaut that is the Eras Tour in March 2023 and eventually released a concert movie of it—titled Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour—which managed to smash box office records after its release in October that same year.

It made $92 million in its first weekend and became the highest-grossing domestic concert film of all time just on those opening days. It also made $26 million on the first day of advanced ticket sales. The previous record of $16.9 million was held by Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021.

Now a video has been racking up views on Instagram of a woman’s three daughters sharing their thoughts while watching the concert movie, which can be streamed on Disney+.

Newsweek emailed Swift’s publicist for comment on Thursday.

Laney Morello—who has 68,200 Instagram followers—uploaded a video to the social media platform of her and her children watching the movie together.

“The Red Era gave us quite a lot to unpack together,” Morello wrote in the caption, adding in the video caption: “showing my 3 year old, 4 year old and 5 year old the Eras Tour movie part 5.”

While she never shows the children’s faces, you can hear them excitedly talking about the movie off-camera.

“Balloons! Balloons, mom! This is my favorite song. This is my jam,” a child can be heard saying, before the kids start singing “Feeling 22,” which are some of the lyrics of Swift’s song “22.”

The young girls chatter throughout the movie, asking questions like “What’s a metaphor?” and questioning the meaning behind some of Swift’s most-famous tracks.

The girls also give the singer various compliments, with one of them saying: “I like her hat.”

“Taylor Swift never has a hard time breathing,” one of the children said.

“She looks like a singing queen,” added another.

One of the kids even shares their love for Swift’s boyfriend, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“Travis Kelce, he’s my favorite,” she can be heard saying in the background.

Morello told Newsweek that she has loved sharing Swift’s music with her three children.

“I definitely consider myself a Swiftie! I’ve been a fan since her debut album came out, so it’s been so fun to share Taylor Swift’s music with my daughters, who are now probably even bigger fans than me!” Morello said.

The video has been a hit online and, at the time of writing, it had been viewed more than 1 million times.

People took to the comments to share their love for the clip, with many saying how adorable they found it.

“Ok so it seems we will need a 3 and a half hour version of their commentary for the whole tour – curse words and all. I wonder how tired they were at the end? That was a lot of chatting and excitement, they probably fell right to sleep!” one person commented.

“‘Taylor Swish has never had trouble breathing’ SO REAL,” said another.

“The ‘Balloons, balloons mom’ was so flippin CUTE! I love this!” someone else commented.

A fourth added: “Baby swifties are so wholesome and insightful and have no filter.”

This year has already been huge for Swift, who not only became the first person to win Album of the Year four times at the Grammys earlier this month, but in January became the first person to have five albums each with over 7 billion streams on Spotify.

Swift’s Eras Tour previously broke the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing tour of all time. The 34-year-old singer-songwriter’s tour began in March 2023 and is set to conclude in December 2024 after a total of 152 shows worldwide.

The tour’s last concert was a sold-out show at the 55,000-seat National Stadium in Singapore on March 9. She is taking an extended break before her next concert, which will be in Portugal in May.

“We got to play 6 shows in Singapore for the most wonderful crowds — just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who traveled and put so much effort into being at our shows,” Swift wrote on Instagram on March 10.

“What an unforgettable way to end this leg of the tour!! See you in May when we get back to the Eras Tour!! In the meantime, I’ve got an album to release.”

The pop superstar will debut her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19 during her break. At this year’s Grammys, Swift announced she would be releasing the album while accepting the award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, her 13th Grammy. She also said she had been recording the album in secret.
