Pop megastar Taylor Swift is set to direct a feature-length film, US media reported Friday.
The singer-songwriter behind hits like “Shake It Off” has written a script that Searchlight Pictures will produce, Variety and others reported.
“Taylor is a once-in-a-generation artist and storyteller,” Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield said.
“It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey.”
Details about the feature, including its plot and casting, were not made available.
The American superstar last year wrote and directed the 15-minute-long short film “All Too Well,” which served as the music video for the re-recorded and expanded version of her 2012 song, and has behind-the-scenes credits on several other of her music videos.
Swift is one of the most successful artists of the last few decades.
Demand for her upcoming “Eras” tour was so strong that Ticketmaster’s systems crashed last month when tickets went on sale.
Multi-Grammy-winning Swift — she has 11 — is the only solo artist to win two best direction awards at the MTV Music Video Awards.
Her 10th studio album, “Midnights,” was released to critical acclaim in October.
Taylor has directed the 14-minute film All Too Well: The Short Film, which was recently screened with a unique 35mm print at Tribeca Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival. Swift is also the first female artist in Grammy history to have won Album of the Year three times, their most coveted honour. In total, she has won 11 Grammys.
