Taylor Swift Has Made a Change to Her Documentary Series in an ‘Early Christmas Gift’ to Fans
Taylor Swift continues to make headlines, with the 36-year-old's highly-anticipated documentary series, The End of an Era, releasing new episodes each week.
The six-part release documents Swift's creation, preparation and performance of her record-breaking worldwide Eras tour, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the cultural phenomenon.
And with the first four episodes available to watch on Disney+, everything from Swift’s empowering pre-show speech to her sweet backstage phone call with fiancé Travis Kelce have been getting the world talking.

"Making friends and bringing joy to each other, that is I think the lasting legacy of this tour, is the fact that you have created such a space of joy and togetherness and love," Swift has previously said of her record-breaking tour in an emotional speech to fans during her final performance.
"I couldn’t be more proud of you, honestly that is all you. That is what people think about when they think about this tour, is how they felt out in the crowd with you. I just want to say that, you’re why this is so special. And you supporting me for as long as you have is why I get to take these lovely walks down memory lane every single night because you cared about every era of my entire life that I've been making music, so thank you."
The End of an Era documentary series is available to watch now on Disney+, with new episodes released each week.
