If you’re like most Taylor Swift fans, you simply cannot get enough content from your queen. Good thing, then, that she seemingly never stops cranking it out. Not only did she just release her sixth album in seven years, the record-breaking The Lift of a Showgirl – available in 27 different physical variations – it coincided with both a box-office-topping cinematic event, a two-part Channel 4 documentary and the announcement of her engagement to football player Travis Kelce, whose eventual wedding will almost certainly produce a tidal wave of content on its own.
Now, the pop megastar has two more film projects guaranteed to capture untold millions of eyeballs. Not even a year after her world-dominating Eras Tour finally ended, a six-part docuseries chronicling the production of her globe-spanning, generation-defining, economy-shifting concert tour is coming to Disney+. According to a press release, The End of an Era ‘gives an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world’ and features cameos from contemporaries such as Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch. (What, no Charli XCX?) The doc premieres December 12 – the day before Swift’s 36th birthday – with two episodes dropping each week.
The same day, Disney+ will also debut The Eras Tour: The Final Show, a full concert film indeed shot at the final stop of the 149-date tour, at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8, 2024. You might be thinking, ‘Wasn’t there an Eras Tour concert film already?’ Yes, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour came out in October 2023 and made a gazillion dollars. (That’s also on Disney+, in expanded ‘Taylor’s Version’ form.) This one, however, includes a set of material from Swift’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, which wasn’t yet released when the previous movie came out. That level of incompletion obviously could not stand.
Anyway, that seems to be it for now. At least, until we get the Taylor’s Versions of both the docuseries and the concert film, and a documentary about her wedding, and 25 additional special editions of The Life of a Showgirl on colours of vinyl the human mind cannot yet process. And then probably, like, a cookbook or something.
