‘Tis the damn season for Taylor Swift to turn her sights on the big screen.

Three years after it was announced the Grammy winner would be making her feature film directorial debut with Searchlight Pictures on a feature film she wrote, rumors began to crop up that screenwriter Alice Birch had been brought onto the project.

A source close to production tells E! News, however, that the rumors are not true and there is still only one screenwriter on the project: Taylor herself.

Otherwise, details on the project have remained scarce since the 2022 announcement of the project. At the time, Searchlight Presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield shared their excitement over the collaboration.

“Taylor is a once in a generation artist and storyteller,” they said in a press release. “It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey.”

While the project marks Taylor’s feature film directorial debut, she is no stranger to working on movies and directing projects.

In addition to roles in Valentine’s Day and The Giver, the 35-year-old has starred in most of her music videos and has even directed a few over the years—including 2021’s All Too Well: The Short Film.

The project—starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien—was a 15-minute piece which brought to life the demise of the relationship detailed in Taylor’s song “All Too Well,” which is largely understood to be about her history with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Following the short film’s screening at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022, Taylor reflected on how she approached the creative project.

“I think I gave myself permission to completely make that jump into making a narrative short film because this is not a music video; we approached everything differently,” she explained. “You know, in shooting on 35 millimeter and all the decisions that were made to create these characters and dive into this world.”

At the time, the Midnights artist also teased setting her sights on longer projects (the announcement of her feature film would come six months later).

“It would be so fantastic to write and direct something, you know, a feature,” she added during the talkback. “I don’t see it being bigger in terms of scale. I loved making a film that was so intimate and with a crew that was relatively small and just a really solid crew of people that I trusted.”

Taylor also received nothing but compliments from the short film’s star Dylan, who praised her directorial prowess.

“Her ability to just be like, ‘Go,’ is so confident, so brave,” he explained. “You can be talented and you can have great taste—of which all these things she possesses, assembling the crew and knowing exactly what she wanted to do and who she wanted to get—but the onset ability to operate, the freedom just to create that environment. That is special.”
