The platform will premiere The Eras Tour, The End of an Era, which will be a six-episode documentary series.
TAYLOR SWIFT’S ERAS TOUR
The singer will also release Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour, The Final Show, a full-length concert film showcasing her final performance in Vancouver. Both titles will debut on 12 December.
The docuseries will roll out two episodes weekly. It will offer an in-depth look at how she created one of the most profitable tours in music history, according to Billboard.

Fans can expect behind-the-scenes footage featuring collaborators such as Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, and Florence Welch.
The series captures the global scale of Taylor Swift’s accomplishment. Her tour earned over R38 billion in ticket sales, with an average of R257,000 per show.
THE TAYLOR SWIFT ERA
Directed by Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce, The End of an Era promises to reveal the intense planning, production, and artistry that powered Swift’s journey.
