TAYLOR SWIFT REVEALS SECRETS OF HER POST-SHOW RITUAL

Taylor Swift has revealed her post-show ritual in the trailer for her upcoming behind-the-scenes documentary.

The six-episode series charting the record-breaking Eras Tour will premiere on Disney+ from Dec 12.

The 35-year-old wrote on Instagram on Monday. “It was the End of an Era and we knew it.

“We wanted to remember every moment leading up to the culmination of the most important and intense chapter of our lives, so we allowed filmmakers to capture this tour and all the stories woven throughout it as it wound down. And to film the final show in its entirety.”

In the promotional video, Swift can be seen with her cat, Benjamin Button, taking her make-up off while running a bath in a hotel room.

“I won’t be able to get to sleep because I can’t come down,” she tells the film crew, before explaining her routine for trying to wind down after a performance.

“I watch tons of TV, I eat room service in bed, I sign a box of two thousand CDs and then I’m tired. And then we do the whole thing again.”

Swift performed her three and a half hour routine 149 times across 21 countries from March 2023 to December 2024.

To prepare for the tour, the singer rehearsed the 46 song set list while running on a treadmill.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Swift is filmed backstage practising her dive into a gap in the stage, hugging her parents and rehearsing with surprise Eras Tour guests including Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Florence Welch and Gracie Abrams

She is also filmed being scooped up by her fiancee, Travis Kelce, ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs player performing the move on stage in London.

The 36-year-old NFL star joined Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium in June 2024, picking the singer up and placing her on a red couch before fanning her during I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.

Narrating the promotional video, Swift says: “People like to talk about phenomenons almost as if it was pieces falling into place. As if it just happened.

“The Eras Tour wasn’t when all the pieces fell into place. This tour was just when every single one of us who had done so much work, pushing inch by inch, to when we all clicked together.

“We have broken every single record you can break with this tour. The only thing left is to close the book.”

Alongside the End Of An Era docuseries, the singer has announced an updated Eras Tour concert film, The Final Show, which was filmed in Vancouver and will include performances of songs from The Tortured Poets Department album.

Swift made history as the first solo artist to perform at Wembley eight times on a single tour, while her Edinburgh show registered seismic activity and her whole visit generated nearly £1 billion for the UK.

The docuseries announcement follows last week’s launch of Swift’s 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, which debuted at number one in the UK charts.
