Taylor Swift’s ‘The End of an Era’ Moves Finale Episodes Up Ahead of Christmas

Taylor Swift and Disney+ are moving up the final two episodes of her six-part End of an Era docuseries, the streamer announced Thursday.

Episodes five and six of the singer’s documentary will now air Dec. 23 at 12 a.m. PT instead of its originally scheduled Dec. 26 at 12 a.m. PT, according to a post on X from Disney+. The streamer dubbed the news “an early gift to fans around the world” when announcing the news, which also featured a sneak peek at the show’s next two episodes, three and four, that are slated to air Friday (Dec. 19 at 12 a.m. PT).

Thanks to the docuseries Swifties finally have the chance to look at many moments behind-the-scenes of Swift’s Eras tour. Swift previewed the series for the media earlier this last week in New York, joined by co-chairman of Disney Entertainment, Dana Walden, ahead of its Dec. 12 release.

The series debuted on Disney+ at midnight Dec. 12, fully inviting fans inside the world of Swift’s record-breaking, career-defining world tour by also dropping a recording of Swift’s post-Tortured Poets version of the show, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show.

In the show’s first episode, Swift shared where the idea for the Eras tour came from and broke down the logistics of how a tour this size gets underway. She said the tour concept was born out of two “unpleasant” things happening to her: her catalog, which she has since bought back, had been sold, and she had decided to rerecord her music from those albums. The second factor was the pandemic. But ultimately, once the planning and rehearsals began, Swift set out to “overserve” her fans in terms of variety of songs, length, production design and more.

“What if I did a tour that celebrated all of these different moments in my life and career?” Swift recalled for the camera how the “eras” concept came to be. The singer’s mother, Andrea Swift, remembered her daughter telling the team the show would be three hours, which led several people at her company to think about how they could plan and execute a tour of that size.

The next two episodes of Swift’s The End of Era docuseries drop Friday, Dec. 19, at 12 a.m.PT.
