Taylor Swift fans, brace yourselves! Just when you thought the Eras Tour couldn’t get any bigger, the pop icon is dropping not one, but two major projects to relive the magic. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this a heartfelt gift to fans or a strategic move to keep the Eras Tour momentum alive? Let’s dive in.
One year after the record-breaking Eras Tour wrapped up, Taylor Swift is giving fans a double treat. First up is The End of an Era, a six-part docuseries that pulls back the curtain on the tour’s inner workings, challenges, and cultural impact. Think of it as the ultimate behind-the-scenes pass for Swifties. Second, there’s Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show, a full-length concert film capturing her final performance in Vancouver, B.C., complete with the debut of tracks from The Tortured Poets Department. It’s like having a front-row seat to history—without the ticket price.
Mark your calendars: on December 12, at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET, the first two episodes of the docuseries and the concert film will drop on Disney+. And this is the part most people miss: While Disney+ doesn’t offer a free trial, there’s a clever workaround. DirecTV’s signature packages (Entertainment, Choice, Ultimate, or Premier) include a Disney+ and Hulu bundle, and they come with a five-day free trial. That means new subscribers can catch the premiere for free. Talk about a win-win!
For those who prefer traditional TV, ABC will air the first episode of the docuseries on December 12 at 8 p.m. PT/ET. Cord-cutters can livestream it via services like DirecTV, Fubo, Sling, or Hulu + Live TV. But here’s the catch: which option is truly the best for your viewing experience? It depends on whether you’re a binge-watcher, a budget-conscious fan, or someone who just wants the easiest access.
Here’s the breakdown:
- When: Premieres Friday, December 12, at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET (first two episodes and concert film). Episodes 3 and 4 drop on December 19, and episodes 5 and 6 on December 26.
- Where: Stream on Disney+ or through DirecTV’s free trial bundle.
