Always a surprise up her sleeve, Taylor Swift announced that her concert movie "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" is being released a day earlier than scheduled.
"Look what you genuinely made me do: Due to unprecedented demand we’re opening up early access showings of The Eras Tour Concert Film on THURSDAY in America and Canada!!" she wrote in a post on Instagram. "We’re also adding additional showtimes Friday and throughout the weekend. All tickets will be available by 10am tomorrow morning."
The "unprecedented demand" for the movie is just the latest demonstration of Swifties' dedication and spending power.
Swift may be one of the richest women in America, but here are some other stats that show what her fandom brings to the economy.

The Swift effect: Rumored relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce boosts jersey sales and bets
Taylor Swift first made an appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears game on Sept. 24 amid rumors of a relationship with tight end Travis Kelce.
Since then, the Swift effect has been at play as she has attended one more game on Oct. 1 since her initial outing to cheer on Kelce.
Fanatics, a sportwear company, told TMZ that the Swifties are rushing to get their NFL gear.
Fanatics said Kelce's jersey sales jumped 400% after Swift's first appearance at the game.
Swifties might also be getting into betting, as the Chiefs and Kelce saw an uptick in bets after her appearance at the game with the Chicago Bears.
