Taylor Swift’s so-called broken-heart era is proving anything but idle.
After unveiling her twelfth studio album The Life of a Showgirl and its companion cinema event, Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, she has lined up the next act: a dual Disney+ slate featuring The End of an Era, a six-part docuseries about the Eras Tour, and The Eras Tour | The Final Show, a concert film that will finally showcase The Tortured Poets Department set in full.
Announced soon after The Life of a Showgirl, the series is framed as a living scrapbook of the tour that reshaped stadium pop. Rather than a simple performance recap, it follows Swift across 149 shows on five continents, capturing a spectacle that became a global reunion for fans raised on her music.
Friendship bracelets, handmade signs and stadium-wide sing-alongs become part of the story the cameras are trying to preserve.
The newly released trailer makes clear how granular that story will be. It opens on Swift’s pre-show ritual, including the now-familiar ride to the stage hidden in a cleaning cart, before she shoots up through a trapdoor into an ocean of lights.
From there, quick cuts show her laughing backstage with fiancé Travis Kelce, conferring with her mother and sprinting through costume changes. Cameos from collaborators like Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch hint at how many creative hands helped sustain the Eras machine.
At the same time, the docuseries promises to trace the emotional undercurrent of a tour that coincided with major personal shifts: the end of Swift’s long-term relationship with Joe Alwyn, a brief involvement with Matty Healy and the increasingly public romance with her fiancé Kelce.
Midway through, the tour also became a launchpad for The Tortured Poets Department, with a fresh set added late in the run. The Final Show, filmed at the closing dates in Vancouver, exists to crystallise that final incarnation.
The Eras Tour | The Final Show, directed by Glenn Weiss, and The End of an Era, directed by Don Argott, will arrive on Disney+ on December 12. The concert film will debut alongside the first two episodes of the series, with new instalments dropping weekly until the finale on December 26.
