Is Taylor Swift not a phenomenon? The American songwriter, musician and singer was behind "The Eras Tour," a truly phenomenal event: 146 concerts, spanning March 2023 to December 2024, in 20 countries across four continents, in front of 10 million fans – known as "Swifties." "People have forgotten that you're a human being," Ed Sheeran says to Swift in the documentary.

Sitting in Swift's dressing room, the British singer rehearsed with Swift before joining her on stage at Wembley Stadium for one of the tour's five London shows. That moment appears in the first of the six episodes of The End of an Era, the documentary series offering a behind-the-scenes look at the tour.

The series reflects her live performances: Precise, professional and full of expertly crafted surprises, without following a strict chronology. It opens with the 15 minutes leading up to the final concert, held on December 8, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada (the full performance is also available on Disney+). "The 'Eras Tour'" is the result of all [our] "work," Swift tells her musicians, backup singers and dancers, who gather around her in reverence. The series then rewinds to the very beginning of Swift's career.
