REVEALED: Why Taylor Swift MISSED premiere of Beyonce’s concert film… even though Renaissance singer attended HER Eras Tour movie event
Beyonce welcomed a parade of bold names on Saturday evening at the premiere of her new concert film Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce.
The film, directed by the singer herself, is an on-camera recording of her Renaissance World Tour, named after her 2022 album of the same name.
Stars galore poured into the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills on Saturday to tip their hats to Beyonce — but one was noticeably missing.
Taylor Swift was not in attendance at the glittering extravaganza, even though Beyonce attended the premiere of Taylor’s Eras Tour concert film last month.
So why was Taylor absent from Beyonce’s event?

Taylor is currently in the middle of her Eras Tour and on the evening of Beyonce’s premiere she played a concert in São Paulo.
She’s been whirling around South America all month, which is why she couldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving with her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Travis revealed to his brother Jason Kelce on their podcast that he would be spending Thanksgiving alone because Taylor was in Brazil.
Jason, who is also an NFL player but for a different team, invited Travis to fly to Philadelphia and celebrate Thanksgiving with him.
However, Travis was preparing for a soccer match on Sunday in Las Vegas, which may be one of the reasons he couldn’t travel to Brazil to be with his girlfriend.
Taylor’s stay in Brazil was struck by tragedy last week when an audience member at one of her concerts in Rio de Janeiro collapsed in the heat and died.
A devastated Taylor postponed one of her next shows, but the tour eventually went ahead and this weekend she took to the stage in São Paulo.
Meanwhile, in California, a dazzling array of celebrities paraded through the Samuel Goldwyn Theater at the premiere of Beyonce’s new film.

Lizzo, Chloe X Halle, Gabrielle Union, Lupita Nyong’o, Janelle Monae and Kris Jenner were among the recognizable faces at the party.
To maintain an aura of secrecy, invitees were only told where the premiere would be 24 hours in advance.
The dress code for the ‘chrome carpet’ was cryptically described as ‘cozy opulence’, according to a report in Variety.
Beyonce’s new concert film will hit theaters this Friday on World AIDS Day – a touching detail considering the Renaissance album was dedicated to Beyonce’s gay cousin Jonny, whom she lost to an AIDS-related illness.
