Taylor Swift’s “Journey to Fearless” was released in 2011 to the delight of her legions of fans.

Justin Bieber released his film titled “Never Say Never” in 2011. Known for having intense teenage fans, the movie did very well with audiences. There was behind the scenes footage of concerts, some home videos as well as meet and greets with fans who got free tickets. The movie grossed a whopping $99 million worldwide with a production budget of $13m.

“Homecoming” was released last year and features Beyoncé and her performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2018. The Netflix film shows rehearsals and live footage of Beyoncé performing. Her husband Jay Z and eldest daughter Blue Ivy also make an appearance in the film that was written, directed and executive produced by the singing sensation herself.
