Taylor Swift and Disney+’s production at the Hollywood sign is being scrapped after local residents expressed their outrage

A Taylor Swift and Disney+ production scheduled for Wednesday at the legendary Hollywood sign has been canceled.

Hollywood residents were reportedly outraged by the disruption, but Philip Sokoloski of FilmLA, which handles permits for city films, said TMZ Tuesday that production was canceled.

No reason was given for the change.

Disney+ previously said pop superstar Taylor, 34, would not attend or perform during the shoot.

Neighbors viewed the planned three-day production as a giant eyesore that brought heavy foot traffic and commotion, disrupting their peace and lives.

TMZ reported that several home clubs and organizations were in contact during the project and were reportedly unhappy to hear that Taylor would soon be in their area.

The actual recording date was scheduled for March 13 — just one day before Taylor releases her concert film, Taylor Swift The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version), on March 14 on Disney+.

The website has obtained the film permit that neighbors received informing them of the production, detailing what residents can expect during the project.

The permit stated that the crew would prepare for filming on Tuesday, March 12 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, followed by the actual filming date of Wednesday, March 13, which would also last from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

The crew was scheduled to dismantle the set on Thursday, March 14, another all-day effort, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to the permit.

The permit stated that filming would consist of ‘aerial photography using remote-controlled aircraft’, with drone activity taking place on Wednesdays from 7pm to 10pm.

It was also mentioned that the purpose of the shoot is to film ‘Disney + TS’.

Taylor has reportedly sold the exclusive film rights to her Eras Tour concert film to Disney+ for $75 million.

The film, which became the highest-grossing concert film of all time, grossing $261.6 million worldwide, will officially be available for streaming on Disney+ next month.

It contains five additional songs not previously seen in theaters or in previous digital releases.

With her Disney+ payday, the Blank Space singer has made over $200 million in the film industry in just about six months.

“#TSTheErasTourTaylorsVersion ran home to @DisneyPlus,” Taylor Nation announced Thursday on X (formerly known as Twitter). ‘From March 15, watch the entire concert film from start to finish of the show for the first time, including ‘cardigan’ and 4 extra songs from the acoustic section!’

Disney CEO Bob Iger called the artist’s tour “a true phenomenon that has and continues to thrill fans around the world.”

He continued: ‘The Eras Tour’ has been a true phenomenon that has and continues to thrill fans around the world, and we are very excited to bring this electrifying concert to audiences whenever they want, exclusively on Disney+.”

While it is unclear which songs were chosen that were not included in the original version, it is likely that the songs will be from the three shows recorded at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Some contenders include No Body, No Crime, alongside the Haim sisters, I Can See You, You Are in Love and Death by a Thousand Cuts.

The concert film Eras Tour, which grossed $96 million in ticket sales during its opening weekend, even earned a Golden Globe nomination for Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement.

Ahead of her 34th birthday, Swift revealed on Instagram that she thought “a fun way to celebrate the year” with her fans would be to “make the Eras Tour concert film available for you to watch at home.”

“I’m very pleased to tell you that the extended version of the film, including Wildest Dreams, The Archer and Long Live, will be available for rental on demand in the US, Canada and other countries to be announced soon starting… …you guessed it, December 13th [her birthday].’

It is the highest-grossing concert film of all time in North America and was the first in history to gross over $100 million domestically, as well as the first independently released film to reach that mark in just two weekends in ten years.

The movie was filmed during the Bad Blood hitmaker’s three shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Swift previously released Folklore: Long Pond Studio Sessions on Disney+.
