ALL TOO WELL! Taylor Swift set to DIRECT her first-ever feature-length movie with Searchlight Pictures
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift is one of the greatest musicians of this generation and her credentials are a testament to her success. She has ruled the charts and recently became the first artist ever to claim the entire Top 10 on Billboard Top 100. However, the musician is now ready to take a new path in her professional career by donning the director’s hat for the first time ever. Yes, you heard it right. Swift will be trying her luck in the field of direction and will be backed by some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.
The singer-songwriter was last seen making an appearance in the movie ‘Amsterdam’, where she played the role of Elizabeth Meekins. Meanwhile, in 2019, she made her acting debut in feature films with ‘Cats’. Unfortunately, both movies turned out to be box office failures and were panned by critics as well. However, she recently won two Best Direction awards at the 2022 VMA Awards for her work on ‘The Man’ and ‘All Too Well: The Short Film’, becoming the first solo artist to achieve that monumental feat and now will be trying her luck to make a full feature-length movie.
