Fans of Taylor Swift are about to get an unprecedented look behind the curtain of one of the most talked-about tours in recent memory. Disney+ has announced the upcoming release of "The End of an Era," a six-episode docuseries that promises to chronicle not only the dazzling spectacle of Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, but also the sweat, nerves, and camaraderie that fueled its creation. The first two episodes are set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ starting December 12, 2025, with two new episodes dropping each week, according to Disney.
The docuseries, directed by Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce and produced by Object & Animal, offers a rare, intimate glimpse into Taylor Swift’s life as she navigated the whirlwind of the Eras Tour. While fans have already been treated to the show’s onstage magic, "The End of an Era" takes them backstage, into rehearsal studios, and even into the personal moments that shaped this global phenomenon.
In a move that’s sure to delight Swifties everywhere, Disney+ is also premiering "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show" on December 12. This concert film, directed by Glenn Weiss and produced by Taylor Swift Production in association with Silent House Productions, captures the final stop of the tour in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the first time, viewers will experience the entire set of "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT," a segment added to the tour following the album’s 2024 release.
The excitement around the docuseries ramped up after the official trailer dropped on Thursday, November 13, 2025. The trailer alone has sparked conversation, offering glimpses of Swift working tirelessly in rehearsals, clad in a black bra top and skintight leggings, surrounded by a dozen or so backup dancers. According to the Daily Mail, the footage reveals Swift’s vulnerability as she struggles to perfect her dance moves—a facet of performance she’s long felt insecure about.
Addressing those insecurities head-on, Swift hired renowned choreographer Mandy Moore (not to be confused with the actress of the same name) to help her sharpen her skills for the tour. This decision, as reported by the Daily Mail, was motivated by years of criticism and self-doubt over her dancing abilities. "She was really in her head after receiving a bad rap for her dancing and wanted to address it once and for all," the report states.
Swift herself has been candid about the emotional journey behind the tour’s creation. In the trailer, she reflects, "I’m very aware of mysterious forces at play that I will never have any control of." She goes on to describe the communal experience the tour created: "This show created a bonding experience for like 70,000 people all at once... there’s something very special about that." These remarks, shared in the trailer and on her Instagram, underscore the sense of unity and shared excitement that has defined the Eras Tour.
But the docuseries isn’t just about Taylor. It features appearances by a host of other artists and close collaborators, including Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Travis Kelce, Ed Sheeran, and Florence Welch. Fans will also see Swift’s band, dancers, crew, and family members, all of whom played pivotal roles in bringing the tour to life. Backstage footage captures moments of camaraderie and surprise, such as when Carpenter and Swift orchestrate a shock reunion before a New Orleans show—Swift is seen calling Carpenter as she hides under the stage, before being brought out to the astonishment of the crowd.
One of the most talked-about elements of the trailer is its focus on Swift’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, now her fiancé. Their evolving romance is woven throughout the docuseries, offering fans a peek at how their bond grew during the tour’s run. In one touching moment, Swift’s mother, Andrea, says, "Travis Kelce, he brings a lot of happiness." Swift herself chimes in, "We basically have the same job," drawing a parallel between her life on stage and Kelce’s career on the football field. Another scene shows the couple sharing a kiss as Swift comes off stage, further highlighting the personal milestones that unfolded alongside her professional triumphs.
The docuseries also doesn’t shy away from the sheer logistical complexity of the Eras Tour. Swift is seen being smuggled around in a large black box, a now-famous tactic used to preserve the element of surprise before her grand entrance. She reveals that planning for the tour took two years—a testament to the scale and ambition of the production.
According to Disney, "The End of an Era" offers "never-before-seen insight into what it took to create a phenomenon." The series is poised to give fans not only a front-row seat to the spectacle, but also an appreciation for the discipline, anxiety, and teamwork that made it possible. The inclusion of exclusive interviews and candid backstage moments promises to humanize the superstar, showing her as both a meticulous artist and a vulnerable, determined individual.
Disney+ has positioned itself as the go-to platform for such exclusive content, offering a broad range of movies, TV shows, and original series from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Hulu. The service, available from £5.99 per month with no hidden costs and the ability to cancel anytime, continues to expand its library with new releases and acclaimed classics alike. Alongside "The End of an Era," Disney+ subscribers can look forward to titles like FX’s "Alien: Earth," the fifth season of "Only Murders in the Building," and the original documentary series "Sneaker Wars: Adidas v uma."
For Taylor Swift fans, however, December 12 marks a particularly special date. Both the docuseries and the concert film will offer a comprehensive look at an artist who, despite her monumental success, remains deeply engaged with her craft and her audience. As Swift put it on Instagram, "Honestly can’t think of a better way to celebrate my (almost) birthday than to relive the Eras Tour with you! This time we’re going backstage."
With its blend of spectacle, struggle, and behind-the-scenes candor, "The End of an Era" is set to become essential viewing for anyone who’s ever been swept up in the excitement of a live show—or who’s simply curious about what it takes to create a cultural phenomenon from the ground up.
