A six-part docuseries about the making of Taylor Swift’s smash-hit “Eras Tour” will debut on Disney+ in December, along with a new concert film depicting the tour’s final stop, the singer announced Monday immediately following the release of her breakthrough new album.
Key data
Swift’s new concert film, “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show,” unlike the first “Eras Tour” film that hit theaters in 2023, will include her performances of songs from “The Tortured Poets Department,” the album she released last year.
The “Final Show” project was filmed at Swift’s “Eras Tour” stop at Vancouver’s BC Place stadium in December 2024.
Swift will also release “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era,” a docuseries featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the tour, which grossed $2 billion and spanned nearly 150 shows in nearly two years.
When and where will Swift’s “Eras Tour” projects stream?
The concert film “Final Show” will premiere on Disney+ on December 12. The first two episodes of the six-part docuseries “Eras Tour” will also premiere on Disney+ on December 12, with two additional episodes premiering weekly for the following two weeks.
What records did Swift break with the “eras tour”?
“The Eras Tour” is the highest-grossing concert tour in history, with $2.077 billion in total gross receipts. The tour was the first to surpass the $1 billion and $2 billion marks. When Swift’s tour ended, the total gross from the “Eras Tour” was more than double that of the next highest-grossing tour in history, although Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” tour has since grossed $1.4 billion. The “Eras Tour” had an estimated attendance of 67,487 people per show, which Pollstar said broke a record previously held by U2’s “360 Tour.” Swift sold more than 10 million tickets in total, which Pollstar says is the most for a solo artist and the second most after Coldplay, who have sold more than 12 million on their “Music of the Spheres” tour. The “Eras Tour” helped propel Swift to billionaire status, making her the first person to join the ranks of billionaires based solely on the value of her music catalog and concert tours.

Tangent
Swift announced her new film projects a week after she topped the North American box office with “Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” a theatrical release of a new music video, lyric videos and other images commemorating her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” Swift’s film played in thousands of theaters, including all 540 AMC locations in the United States, and grossed $50 million worldwide. The film garnered a moderate response from critics, with The Guardian giving it two stars and calling it a “lazy big-screen gain” that offered “very little for even the most devoted fans.” The “Showgirl” film was Swift’s second major foray into theaters after she released “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” in October 2023, a concert film depicting her Los Angeles shows from August of that year. The first “Eras Tour” film grossed $261 million worldwide.
How is “Life Of A Showgirl” doing on the charts?
“The Life of a Showgirl” quickly became Swift’s biggest-selling album and broke the record, previously held by Adele for a decade, of becoming the biggest first-week sales for an album in history. Although Billboard has yet to report Swift’s exact sales in her first week, it announced on Friday that Swift had shattered Adele’s record of 3.4 million copies sold. In its first week of release, the album was streamed nearly 500 million times, Billboard reported. Swift is also likely to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 chart with new songs, which Billboard will announce on Monday.
