Taylor Swift Unveils “The End of an Era” Docuseries, Offering a Peek Behind the Curtains of Her Record-Breaking Tour
NEW YORK – Global superstar Taylor Swift is pulling back the curtain on her monumental Eras Tour with a new six-episode docuseries, “The End of an Era,” set to premiere on Disney+ on December 12th, just a day before her 36th birthday. A special preview of the first episode will also air on ABC at 8 p.m. ET on December 12th.
From her early days performing at age 14, Swift has expressed a singular focus: “obsessed with taking people to a place that created a form of escape.” For 21 months, starting in March 2023, and across 149 shows spanning five continents, Swift lived out this dream, delivering an unparalleled 3 ½-hour concert experience to millions of fans.
The docuseries chronicles this epic journey, offering an intimate look at the creation and execution of the tour. At a recent private screening of the first two installments in New York, Swift was joined by her family, notable media personalities including Hoda Kotb and Gayle King, and, most visibly, her enthusiastic band and dance crew.
Swift, clad in a stylish pleated skirt, maroon tights, and black knee-high boots, shared insights into the project. “The directors (Don Argott and Sheena M.
Joyce) expanded upon the stories of not just me, but everyone who was part of this,” she explained. “There was a lot of magic and mystery that happens when something goes as well as this (tour) did.”
The series promises to delve into the intricate details behind the scenes, with dedicated episodes spotlighting tour guests such as Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Florence Welch, and Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce. New episodes will be released every Friday, with two debuting each week until December 26th.
Adding to the December 12th excitement, Disney+ will also release the concert film “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show.” This film, recorded during her last Eras show on December 8, 2024, in Vancouver, offers a complete setlist, notably including all the songs from “The Tortured Poets Department,” which was integrated into her live performances following its 2024 release.
A one-hour presentation of “The Final Show” will also be broadcast on ABC at 8 p.m. ET on December 12th.
Swift’s profound pride in her unprecedented achievement and her deep affection for her team were evident at the screening. Reflecting on the tour, she concluded with a smile, “The Eras Tour was a lifetime within my life.”
