Taylor Swift has released the official trailer for her highly anticipated Disney+ special “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show,” which will stream on December 12, 2025. The full-length concert film captures the emotional final performance of her record-breaking Eras Tour in Vancouver, British Columbia, and features the complete set of “The Tortured Poets Department” for the first time in any concert film format.
The film will be a full concert experience captured during the final show of her tour in Vancouver, B.C., featuring the entire set of “The Tortured Poets Department” for the first time, a portion of the show that was added to the tour following the album’s release in April 2024. Fans who watched the earlier iteration of the “Eras Tour” theatrical film on Disney+ did not see these songs, as they had not yet been added to the tour setlist.
In the newly released trailer, Swift addresses the Vancouver crowd with visible emotion, saying: “We’ve had so long to prepare for the end of this tour and we get to play one last show for you here tonight. I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date.” The trailer showcases Swift performing “Long Live” during an acoustic set, surrounded by enthusiastic fans at the packed BC Place stadium.

Complete Tortured Poets Department Set Featured
That portion of the show was added to the tour following the album’s release in April 2024, and fans were able to watch an earlier iteration of the “Eras Tour” theatrical film on Disney+ before those songs were added to the tour set list. The inclusion of the full “Tortured Poets Department” set marks a significant addition to the concert film, giving viewers their first opportunity to experience this era of Swift’s music within the complete concert format.
The trailer provides glimpses of the “Tortured Poets Department” segment, featuring snippets of tracks including “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.” The promotional material promises “every new song,” “every new moment,” and “everything you’ve waited for,” highlighting the fresh content that distinguishes this film from the previous theatrical and streaming releases.
The “Tortured Poets Department” era added significant depth to the already extensive Eras Tour setlist, which spanned Swift’s entire career from her 2006 debut album through her most recent release. The Vancouver finale represented the culmination of a tour that had continuously evolved over its nearly two-year run, with Swift regularly updating and refining the show based on new album releases and creative inspiration.
Dual Release Strategy: Concert Film and Docuseries
In addition to the release of “The Final Show,” Swift is planning to drop the first two episodes of her six-part docuseries “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era,” also on December 12. That series has been described as “an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world.”
The docuseries will feature appearances from opening tour acts including Gracie Abrams and Sabrina Carpenter, who both served as supporting performers during various legs of the tour. Special guests Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch, who joined Swift on stage for surprise performances during the tour, will also appear in the series. The documentary promises behind-the-scenes footage showing Swift rehearsing with her band, dancers, crew, and family members, providing unprecedented access to the inner workings of the massive production.
Following the December 12 premiere of the first two episodes, the docuseries will continue with two additional batches of two episodes each releasing in subsequent weeks. The staggered release strategy aims to maintain audience engagement throughout the holiday season and provide extended coverage of the tour’s conclusion.
Directors and Production Details
“Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era” is directed by Don Argott, co-directed by Sheena M. Joyce and produced by Object & Animal. “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show,” meanwhile, is directed by Glenn Weiss and produced by Taylor Swift Productions in association with Silent House Productions.
Glenn Weiss brings extensive experience directing major live television events, making him well-suited to capture the scale and energy of Swift’s stadium performances. His work ensures that the concert film translates the massive arena experience to streaming viewers at home, preserving the spectacular production values that defined the Eras Tour.
Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce’s direction of the docuseries complements the concert film by providing context and behind-the-scenes perspective on how the tour came together. Their documentary approach allows viewers to understand the creative process, logistical challenges, and personal moments that occurred throughout the tour’s run.
The Record-Breaking Eras Tour
The Eras Tour became the highest-grossing tour of all time, generating over $2 billion through ticket sales alone. Swift played 149 shows across 51 cities spanning five continents, with the tour running from March 2023 through December 2025. The unprecedented scale and success of the tour reshaped the live music industry and demonstrated Swift’s exceptional drawing power as a performer.
Each show featured a setlist spanning approximately three hours and 40 minutes, with Swift performing over 40 songs representing different “eras” of her career. The tour’s production values included elaborate staging, multiple costume changes, intricate choreography, and stunning visual effects that created an immersive experience for audiences. The shows were divided into distinct sections celebrating albums including “Lover,” “Fearless,” “Evermore,” “Reputation,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “Folklore,” “1989,” “Tortured Poets Department,” and “Midnights.”
Beyond the commercial success, the Eras Tour generated significant cultural impact. Swift brought out numerous special guests at various shows, boosted local economies in cities where she performed, and made substantial charitable contributions along the way. The tour created a bonding experience for audiences, with Swift noting in the docuseries trailer: “This show created a bonding experience for like 70,000 people all at once. There’s something very special about that.”
Previous Eras Tour Film Success
The initial Eras Tour concert film, released theatrically in October 2023, became the highest-grossing concert movie of all time. The project ultimately generated $261.6 million at the global box office, surpassing Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” to claim the record. The theatrical success demonstrated the massive appetite among Swift’s fanbase for concert film experiences, even among those who had attended shows in person.
A “Taylor’s Version” cut of that film was subsequently made available on Disney+, providing streaming audiences access to the concert experience. However, that version was filmed earlier in the tour and did not include the “Tortured Poets Department” segment, creating anticipation for the new “Final Show” edition that captures the complete evolved setlist.
The success of the theatrical release established a new model for concert films, with Swift bypassing traditional studio distribution to work directly with AMC Theatres. The approach maximized her creative control and financial returns while proving that concert films could generate substantial box office revenue when properly marketed to dedicated fanbases.
Swift’s Instagram Announcement
Swift had originally announced the upcoming concert film and docuseries in October 2025 through an Instagram post, writing: “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.”
The announcement generated immediate excitement among fans who had followed the tour closely throughout its run. Many Swifties who were unable to attend shows in person or who wanted to relive their concert experiences expressed enthusiasm about having access to the professionally filmed Vancouver finale.
Swift’s decision to caption the new trailer with “Just 11 days until the final show of The Eras Tour is all yours” emphasized her desire to share the tour’s conclusion with her global fanbase. The message reinforced that while the live tour has ended, the experience will remain accessible through the concert film and docuseries.
The Vancouver Finale
The final Eras Tour performance took place at BC Place stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia, in December 2024. The venue, which can accommodate approximately 54,000 fans for concerts, provided an intimate yet spectacular setting for the tour’s conclusion. Swift and her team specifically chose to film this performance knowing it would represent the definitive documentation of the tour’s final form.
The Vancouver shows generated enormous excitement in Canada, with fans traveling from across North America to witness the tour’s finale. The three nights of performances in Vancouver created an electric atmosphere, with audiences aware they were participating in a historic moment in music history. Swift’s emotional connection with the crowds intensified during these final shows, as both performer and fans processed the end of the nearly two-year journey together.
The decision to film in Vancouver rather than at an earlier tour stop ensured that the concert film would capture Swift at the peak of her performance, with the show refined through hundreds of previous performances. Every aspect of the production had been perfected through the extensive tour run, resulting in the most polished version of the concert experience.
What to Expect from the Films
The concert film promises to deliver the complete Eras Tour experience, allowing viewers to feel as though they’re attending the show in person. The film will include all the stage spectacle, costume changes, and performance moments that made the tour legendary, filmed with professional cameras and audio equipment to ensure the highest quality presentation.
The trailer showcases Swift’s stunning stage presence, the enthusiastic crowd response, and the elaborate production elements that defined the tour. Viewers can expect to see multiple camera angles, close-ups of Swift’s performances, and wide shots capturing the scale of the production and audience. The professional filming and editing will preserve the energy and emotion of the live experience while providing perspectives impossible to achieve from a single seat in the stadium.
The accompanying docuseries will offer complementary content showing what happened off-stage throughout the tour. Fans will gain insight into Swift’s creative process, her relationships with her team, and the logistical challenges of mounting such an ambitious production. The documentary promises never-before-seen footage and candid moments that reveal the human side of the massive spectacle.
