Walt Disney Co.-owned Searchlight, known for
Oscar best picture winners "The Shape of Water" and "Nomadland"
as well as 2022 drama “The Banshees of Inisherin,” did not
disclose the subject of Swift's film or when it would be
released.
“Taylor is a once in a generation artist and storyteller. It is
a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she
embarks on this exciting and new creative journey,” Searchlight
Presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield said in a
statement.
The “Shake it Off” singer was the first person to win three
Video of the Year awards at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards and
the second woman to direct a winning Best Longform Video, which
was Swift's 2021 “All Too Well: The Short Film.”
Swift is an 11-time Grammy winner and the only female artist in
Grammy history to win the coveted Album of the Year award three
times.
She recently earned another Grammy nomination for Song of the
Year, the 10-minute version of "All Too Well," which is eligible
for the Best Live-Action Short category at the 2023 Oscars.
Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 24, 2023.
