Taylor Swift was joined by fellow superstar Beyoncé and reflected on the "favourite adventure I've ever had" as she unveiled her Eras Tour concert film at its world premiere.

The US singer has broken cinema records with advance ticket sales for the film, which was recorded during the US leg of her Eras Tour.

The set list features songs spanning her entire career. It will be released Ireland on Friday and has already broken the record for the most tickets sold during the pre-sale opening week for a music event, according to Vue International.

Swift unveiled the film at The Grove shopping mall in Los Angeles, where she was joined by famous faces including Beyoncé, Maren Morris and Mariska Hargitay.

She sported a pale blue Oscar de la Renta gown with cut-out flowers, with her hair styled in a bob.

Sharing a clip with Beyoncé on Instagram, Swift wrote: "I'm so glad I'll never know what my life would've been like without Beyoncé's influence. The way she taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms.

"Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She's been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact she showed up tonight was an actual fairytale.

"And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together. Getting in the car now…"
