According to ABC, the May 17 TV concert special was filmed last September at L’Olympia Theater in Paris, France, when Swift performed songs from her award-winning album “Lover” to an intimate crowd of fans from 37 countries, traveling to the City of Love for this once-in-a-lifetime concert.

The concert provides viewers unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes moments with the artist and marks her only concert performance this year, after her Lover Fest tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
