Taylor Swift only held one concert to promote her album “Lover”mbefore the coronavirus pandemic came down, causing all the stadium shows she had planned for this year to be pushed at least into 2021. Fortunately for fans, that show was filmed and now ABC will air portions of it this month as an hour-long special called “Taylor Swift City of Lover Concert.” The show will air May 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, and was filmed on September 9, 2019 at L’Olympia Theater in Paris, a historic hall with a capacity of about 2000.
“While we are all home, Taylor Swift and her family of fans will be able to have a moment together and experience a never-before-seen, intimate performance,” said Eric Avram, ABC Entertainment’s VP of talent and booking, vice president, “and we are so thrilled to be able to offer this to our own family of viewers on ABC.” Not all of the material she played in Paris is likely to make it into the one-hour special, since setlists from the L’Olympia performance show she played a full 76-minute set.
