Taylor Swift is finally releasing the documentary for The Eras Tour. Starting Dec. 12, the musician will premiere the six-part documentary series The End of an Era, exclusively streaming on Disney+. Two episodes of the docuseries will arrive on the premiere date, followed by weekly releases. For the first time, Swift is pulling back the curtain on what her life looked like while completing one of the most ambitious tours in pop history.
The news was announced on Monday, which just so happened to be October 13, naturally. In a clip from the docuseries, Swift winds down post-show. Too amped up to go to bed, the singer runs a bath and makes plans to watch a load of TV and sign 2,000 CDs until she’s burned all the adrenaline off.
Swift packed two announcements into one. End of an Era will simultaneously debut with Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show, an extended edition of the Eras Tour concert film. When the film first arrived in the midst of the tour, The Tortured Poets Department hadn’t yet been released. Swift later worked the record into her set, which was then captured for this release on the final date in Vancouver.
“It was the End of an Era, and we knew it,” Swift wrote on Instagram. “We wanted to remember every moment leading up to the culmination of the most important and intense chapter of our lives, so we allowed filmmakers to capture this tour and all the stories woven throughout it as it wound down. And to film the final show in its entirety.”
The concert film will feature appearances from Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Florence Welch, and more, including close friends and family who supported Swift during the extensive tour.
On Sunday, Good Morning America teased that it would be revealing “what’s next” for Swift in a promo.

“She’s at it again. Taylor Swift shattering records with the biggest album debut in history with over 4 million units,” a voiceover says in the teaser video, which features a clip from Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” video.
Swift’s latest release, The Life of a Showgirl, has been breaking records since it dropped on Oct. 3. The day after it was released, it had already sold 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales. Meanwhile, that weekend, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl hit Number One in the domestic box office. By Oct. 8, it had surpassed Adele’s 25 record set in 2015 for first-week sales, with TLOAS earning 3.5 million equivalent album units by that time.
