The global superstar invites fans backstage in a raw, six-part documentary series while simultaneously releasing the definitive "Final Show" filmed in Vancouver.
Taylor Swift has once again captured the world’s attention, marking the one-year anniversary of the conclusion of her historic The Eras Tour. On Friday, December 12, Disney+ premiered the first two episodes of her highly anticipated docuseries, «Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era,» alongside a brand-new concert film, «The Final Show.»
This dual release offers fans—affectionately known as Swifties—the ultimate retrospective on the highest-grossing tour in music history. While the original concert film released in 2023 broke box office records, this new content promises a far more intimate and vulnerable look at the woman behind the phenomenon.
A Raw Look Behind the Scenes
Unlike her previous polished concert films, The End of an Era delves deep into the emotional and physical toll of the 149-date global trek. Directed by Don Argott, the six-part series pulls no punches. The first two episodes, which are available to stream now, cover some of the most challenging moments of the tour’s final leg.
Viewers are given unprecedented access to Swift’s reaction to the thwarted terror plot in Vienna in August 2024. In candid backstage footage, Swift discusses the feeling of being «hunted» and the immense pressure of ensuring the safety of her fans. The documentary also touches on the tragedy in Southport, UK, showcasing a somber side of the tour that was previously kept private to maintain morale.
«We wanted to remember every moment leading up to the culmination of the most important and intense chapter of our lives,» Swift shared in a statement. «This is the story of how we built a city every night, and how hard it was to say goodbye to it.»
The Definitive «Final Show»
Launching alongside the docuseries is Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show. Filmed at BC Place in Vancouver in December 2024, this full-length concert film captures the tour’s emotional finale.
Crucially for fans, this version includes the complete setlist from «The Tortured Poets Department» era, a segment that was absent from the initial theatrical release. It stands as the comprehensive record of the show’s final evolution, featuring guest appearances and the tearful final speech that signaled the official close of the Eras era.
Guest Stars and Heartwarming Moments
The docuseries is not just about the struggles; it is a celebration of the community built on the road. The series features intimate moments with Travis Kelce, offering a glimpse into their relationship away from the paparazzi lenses, as well as camaraderie with opening acts like Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, and longtime friend Ed Sheeran.
One of the most viral moments from the premiere episodes involves the now-famous crew bonuses. Cameras captured the genuine, tear-filled reactions of truck drivers, dancers, and caterers as they received life-changing «thank you» checks from Swift, solidifying her reputation for generosity.
Streaming Schedule
Disney+ has confirmed a weekly release strategy for the remaining episodes of the docuseries, keeping the conversation alive through the holiday season:
December 12: Episodes 1 & 2 (Now Streaming) + The Final Show
December 19: Episodes 3 & 4
December 26: Episodes 5 & 6
With this release, Taylor Swift effectively closes the book on the Eras Tour, allowing fans to relive the magic one last time before she embarks on her next creative chapter.
