Taylor Swift performed her Reputation Stadium Tour in support of her sixth studio album of the same name. The tour ran from May 8, 2018, to November 21, 2018, and was later compiled into a concert film by Paul Dugdale. The film was released in partnership with the streaming giant Netflix on December 31, 2018, and has been available to watch on the platform ever since.
However, Netflix has apparently decided to remove the film from its platform, according to the exclusive reveal by What’s On Netflix, which states in its report:
"Netflix confirmed its removal in its “New on Netflix” newsletter to various publishers and :outlets online. A removal notice will begin to be displayed around a month before its departure. The removal applies to all Netflix regions."
The report also provides the reason why a Netflix exclusive is being removed, stating:
"Netflix has been removing dozens of its Original titles. The reason why some Originals have been removed often comes down to ultimate ownership of a show or movie and that Netflix has license for a fixed period. That does appear to be the case here, with the concert licensed to Netflix for a five-year fixed window, and that window is now coming up."
The news that the concert film will not be available on Netflix anymore has since then gone viral, with fans expressing their disappointment on social media, as exemplified by the tweet below:
