Behind the Scenes: A Love Letter to the Eras Tour Crew
Taylor Swift’s new docuseries episodes, The End of an Era, continue to peel back the curtain on the Eras Tour, but the latest installments take a different angle.

Streaming on Disney+, these chapters offer fans an intimate look at the choreography, production design, and backstage dynamics that make every concert feel like a carefully choreographed cultural event.
Travis Kelce and Sabrina Carpenter: On-Stage and Off

From Rehearsal to Iconic Moments
