In our final recap of The End of an Era docuseries, we’re with Taylor Swift on the very last days of the Eras Tour—when the adrenaline fades, the muscle memory takes over, and the question shifts from how did we get here? to what happens after? We talk family, legacy, loss, Andrea as the quiet architect of everything, a crew reckoning with a once-in-a-lifetime job, and Taylor admitting she’s ready for it to be over even as the world struggles to let go. Plus: awkward early Life of a Showgirl footage, chaotic mashups, football brain, busted harmonies, and Gracie Abrams as the tour’s final emotional mirror.

Welcome back to our recap of the most important docuseries in history. In today’s dispatch, we revisit episode 5: where The Eras Tour hits Toronto and suddenly everything turns toward family, legacy, and the people who make you who you are. Andrea draws aching parallels between Taylor and her late mother, while the crew reflects on their own losses, including a moving moment from Kamilah Marshall. Then the tone swerves into the painfully awkward origins of The Life of a Showgirl: early studio sessions, enthusiastic CANCELLED! recording footage...it's hard out here. Gracie Abrams drops by to talk about growing up idolizing Taylor, then joins her for a very… ambitious… mashup of “Us” and “Out of the Woods.” Enjoy!

Welcome back to our recap of the most important docuseries in history. In today’s dispatch, we revisit episode 4: where Taylor somehow finds the time—mid-tour—to create and record The Tortured Poets Department, turning exhaustion into fuel and isolation into art. It is short and sweet, but it was everything. She opens up about meeting Travis Kelce and developing a very... earnest...passion for football, before roping her stage-husband-to-be into an Eras skit at the hallowed London show WE attended. We get a surprise crossover moment with Sabrina Carpenter with busted harmonies, and a moving reflection from dancer Whyley on identity, visibility, and what it meant to be handed “…Ready for It?” as a career-defining opportunity. The Eras Tour closes out its final U.S. stops in New Orleans and Indianapolis—loud, emotional, and teetering on the edge of something bigger. Enjoy!

In part two of our End of an Era recap, we dig into the backstage scramble to reinvent the Eras Tour, the way Taylor balances authority with warmth, and how the dancers—especially Cam—shape the heart of the show. We talk representation, body image in the industry, Florence Welch swooping in like a fever dream, and those crew bonuses that prove Taylor puts her money where her mouth is.
