Taylor Swift’s Folklore concert film premiered on Disney+.
Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions was released on Disney+ on November 25, 2020. The documentary combines live performances with conversations about the album’s songwriting, production, characters, and fictional narratives.
The setting was Long Pond Studio in upstate New York, where Swift, Aaron Dessner, and Jack Antonoff performed the album together. The film’s quiet, informal style reflects the circumstances of Folklore’s creation during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the collaborators worked remotely before gathering for the filmed session.
The premiere also accompanied the release of a live soundtrack album. That album contains acoustic renditions of the performances heard in the film, including “august.” The documentary is sometimes confused with Miss Americana, an earlier Swift documentary released on Netflix, or The Eras Tour, a later concert film distributed through other partners.
