Taylor Swift ‘Eras Tour’ Docuseries and ‘Final Show’ Concert Film Coming to Disney+

Taylor Swift‘s full concert film The Eras Tour | The Final Show, featuring the entire Tortured Poets Department set, and a docuseries on the tour are coming to streaming. The movie and the first two episodes of the docuseries, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era, release on Disney+ on Dec. 12.
Swift announced the news, including the six-episode behind-the-scenes docuseries, on her socials Monday morning.
“It was the End of an Era and we knew it. 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,” she wrote on Instagram.
Two episodes of the docuseries will release weekly following the Dec. 12 release. The news comes on the heels of the record-breaking release of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Oct. 3.
Boasting unprecedented access to her record-breaking tour, docuseries Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era will chronicle the development, impact and inner-workings that created the phenomenon that was The Eras Tour.
The docuseries will give “an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world,” per Disney. The series will spotlight performers, family members and Swift’s friends — including Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch — to offer “never-before-seen insight into what it took to create a phenomenon.”
The full concert film The Eras Tour | The Final Show was filmed in Vancouver to capture the final show of the tour.
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.
The Life of a Showgirl, produced and written by the singer herself along with hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback, was thought to be a return to some of her most standard pop albums, like 1989, but instead leaned more towards a mix of Evermore and Midnights. Swift said the rollout of the album — lead by the single “The Fate of Ophelia” — has “absolutely” been her favorite yet, calling it the “most joyful” of her career in a recent interview.
The album sold 2.7 million copies on release day (Oct. 3), making that day alone her largest week ever, according to Luminate via Billboard. On Oct. 8, with over a full day of tracking left, Swift officially took the record for biggest opening week so far for a record in the streaming era, according to Billboard, with data sourced from Luminate. As of Wednesday, she had sold a reported 3.2 million copies with 300,000 streaming units, taking her to a record-breaking 3.5 million combined. The album is expected to be her 15th No. 1 on Billboard 200; however, the official chart has yet to be released.
The singer has been making the rounds on late night TV for Showgirl. She stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week to talk about the album, her recent engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and her pal Selena Gomez’s wedding. The NBC late night show opted to air an extended version of Swift’s appearance as a special episode on Oct. 10. The “Father Figure” singer also stopped by NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers on Oct. 8. She was the night’s only guest — the show dubbed it a “Tay/kover” episode.
In addition to the album, Swift released a cinematic companion, which included a chance to see the lead single’s music video early. Swift directed the video, which was filmed by frequent collaborator and Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and features choreography from famed choreographer Mandy Moore, who worked on the singer’s Eras tour. The release event — not fully classified as a film or a documentary — earned an estimated $33 million at the opening weekend domestic box office and an additional $13 million worldwide, bringing its grand total to $46 million globally.
