As part of the 47th annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), a special In Conversation With… Taylor Swift would reportedly be held on Friday, September 9, at 7 pm at TIFF Bell Lightbox, where Swift will introduce the first-ever screening of All Too Well: The Short Film on 35mm.

Swift will join TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey in an engaging conversation about filmmaking and the visual aspects of her music. 

“We love the intersection of film and other art forms, and Taylor Swift is a brilliant visual thinker,” said Bailey. “We’re excited to hear Taylor’s version of how absorbing influences from cinema led to her creating All Too Well: The Short Film, which we’ll present in its original 35mm form for the first time at TIFF.”

Singer, songwriter, producer, actor, and director, Swift is a creative powerhouse, the only woman in history to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year three times.

For the most wins, he had been tied by any artist (alongside Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon), as well as earning prizes in eight other categories.

Besides music, Swift has long been a visual storyteller. In addition to influencing the edits of her music videos writing the treatments herself and then becoming a director, she has defined a distinct style that extends out of her songwriting.

Re-recordings of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version), her acclaimed second and fourth albums in 2021 were released by her, as an act of reclamation and creative empowerment followed by All Too Well: The Short Film, which she directed, wrote, produced, and appeared in. 

Connects audiences and film lovers around the world, this year’s In Conversation With… series connects some of the most talented artists working today.

Award-winning actors and creators who have helped shape the discourse in the entertainment industry have been included in the 2022 lineup. Tickets for this special In Conversation with… will go on sale to TIFF Members beginning September 3, with the remaining tickets on sale to the public on September 5 at tiff.net/tickets.  Industry pass holders and accredited press pass holders with public ticket allocations will be able to secure tickets in advance and on the day of the event.
