Taylor Swift to make feature film directing debut as a 'once-in-a-generation artist'

Taylor Swift is settling into her directing groove all too well.

The Midnights singer-songwriter will make her feature film directing debut, Searchlight Pictures announced Friday, with the studio producing a movie adaptation of an original screenplay the 32-year-old star wrote herself.

Details on the screenplay will be announced in the near future, per Searchlight. While the planned movie marks Swift's first time helming a feature-length project, it isn't her first time directing — she's currently campaigning for an Oscar nomination for Best Live Action Short Film for her work on All Too Well: The Short Film, a scripted narrative built around last year's new take on her 2012 song "All Too Well."

Swift recently made history at the 2022 MTV VMAs, where she became the first artist in history to receive two Best Director prizes — one for All Too Well: The Short Film and another for her music video for "The Man."

"Taylor is a once-in-a-generation artist and storyteller," said Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield in a statement. "It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey."
