Taylor Swift continues to rule the world. Last week, she released her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, to huge numbers. Now, she’s headed back to Disney+ with a pair of new projects. One is a six part documentary about The Eras Tour, while the other is a new concert film, chronicling the final performance of the tour. Both will have their streaming debuts on December 12th. More below.
Here is the press release from Disney:
Following last week’s launch of the biggest album in history, with over 4 million equivalent album units earned in the U.S. for “The Life of a Showgirl,” the 14-time GRAMMY®-winning artist Taylor Swift returns to Disney+ with two brand-new projects that offer unprecedented access to her record-breaking tour, The Eras Tour. “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era,” a 6-episode behind-the-scenesdocuseries event chronicling the development, impact, and inner-workings that created the phenomenon that was The Eras Tour, and “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show,” the full concert film featuring “THETORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT” for the first time, begins streaming December 12 only on Disney+.
“Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era” is an illuminating docuseries on Disney+ that gives an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world. In addition, the series spotlights performers, family members, and friends – including Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, and Florence Welch– offering never-before-seen insight into what it took to create a phenomenon. Two episodes will debut each week beginning December 12.
In addition, “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show,” filmed in Vancouver, B.C. will debut on Disney+ December 12. The full concert film, captured during the final show of the tour, features the entire set of “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT,” which was added to the tour following that album’s release in 2024.
“Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era” is directed by Don Argott, co-directed by Sheena M. Joyce and produced by Object & Animal. “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show” is directed by Glenn Weiss and produced by Taylor Swift Productions in association with Silent House Productions.
I mean… yeah, her new album is selling well. But it seems like the reception has been pretty rotten so far?
Divisive, for sure. I’m not sure if anyone else on staff listened, but for my money, it’s more pop and disposable than her best work, but sonically it’s very enjoyable and some of the sillier lyrics are easily shrugged off. I don’t get the hate, but I’m also easily pleased by music.
