End of an Era Doc: Taylor Swift Teases New Music

Travis Kelce’s Love Letter to Taylor Swift Revealed in ‘End of an Era’ Finale
This empire belongs to Taylor Swift—and it’s only getting bigger.
In the final episode of “The Life of a Showgirl” singer’s Disney+ docuseries End of an Era, she celebrates her newest album and teases that she’s already working on her next one.
“On October 3, 2025, Taylor released her 12th studio album,” a title card at the end of the series’ final episode released Dec. 23. “The biggest album of her career.”
But after a beat or two, the title card adds at the end of the statement, “To date.”
Of course, Taylor has made it clear she’s immortal now, babydolls—at least where her career is concerned.
“I think there are certain corners of our society that really love and look up to longevity,” Taylor explained during her Dec. 10 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “There’s also corners that are like, ‘Give someone else a turn. Can’t you just go away so we can talk about how good you were?’”
To which Taylor shrugged, “I don’t want to.”
And when she dropped her latest album, the 14-time Grammy winner slammed speculation that she was about to scale back due to her engagement to Travis Kelce.
“That’s a shockingly offensive thing to say,” Taylor said during an appearance on BBC Radio 2 in October. “I love the person that I am with because he loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art.”
Indeed, even when Taylor was exhausted from The Eras Tour, the only thing that kept her going was working on her next project.
“I just love it,” she explained during the Aug. 13 episode on New Heights. “I love it a lot. I love music.”

For Taylor, The Life of a Showgirl album kept her inspired. “I would do three shows in a row and then I’d have three days off,” Taylor recalled. “I’d fly to Sweden, go back to the tour.”
Despite the grueling schedule, Taylor emphasized, “I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating.”

Taylor Met With Southport Attack Survivors, Families of the Victims
In the first episode of The End of an Era, Taylor Swift addressed the cancellation of her Aug. 2024 concerts in Vienna, Austria, after they were targeted in a terror plot. (Two men were arrested in connection to the planned attack.)
“We’ve had a series of very violet, scary things happen to the tour,” Taylor said. “We dodged, like, a massacre situation. And so, I’ve just been kind of all over the place.”
The incident came just days after three children were killed in a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England.
An emotional Taylor shared through tears, “I have a hard time explaining it.”
Following the tragedy, Taylor privately met with survivors and families of the victims of the Southport attack backstage at her Wembley shows.
The docuseries captured Taylor and mom Andrea Swift in tears after one meeting, with Andrea telling her daughter, “I know you helped them. I know it doesn’t seem like it but I know you helped them.”

Taylor Told Ed Sheeran She Felt “Very Hunted”
Before taking the stage at Wembley Stadium after the recent tragedies, Taylor struggled with her nerves.
“I just need to do this show,” she told pal Ed Sheeran backstage, “remember the joy of it.”
Taylor went on to explain that after she wraps up her Wembley concerts she’ll have two months off.
“I’m just gonna go somewhere no one can find me,” she shared after Ed inquired about her plans. “I just don’t want to be tracked like an animal. I just have felt very hunted lately.”

Taylor Gave “Bonus Day” Checks to Her Tour Family
The End of an Era officially confirmed that “as each leg of the tour” concluded, Taylor gave bonuses to every crew member, dancer and musician.
“Bonus day is so important,” Taylor noted, “because setting a precedent with The Eras Tour is really important to me.”
“If the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus,” she continued. “And these people just work so hard and they are the best at what they do. So, every single person on the crew, I’ve handwritten them a note. It took me a couple weeks, but it’s fun to write the notes.”
And Taylor was on hand to deliver those notes, which brought her team to tears.

Travis Kelce Was “Scouring the Internet” During Eras Tour Shows
When Travis Kelce wasn’t in the audience or onstage with Taylor, the NFL player was, like many fans, trying to find details about The Eras Tour shows online.
“I want to be there!” Travis told Taylor during a sweet phone call before her Wembley shows. “I’m gonna be scouring the internet.”

Emma Stone Played a Role in The Eras Tour
While putting The Eras Tour together, Taylor turned to a longtime pal for guidance.
“With choreography, I asked one of my friends, Emma Stone, who’s done a lot of work in dance in her films, ‘Who have you worked with that you would recommend for this?'” Taylor recalled. “And she’s like, ‘There’s only one person that needs to be on your list and it’s Mandy Moore.'”
Choreographer Mandy Moore, not to be confused with actress Mandy Moore, worked with Emma on 2016’s La La Land.

How Taylor Kept Eras Tour Surprises Under Wraps
To avoid any surprise songs or performances, like “Florida!!!” with Florence Welch, getting leaked, Taylor and her band would turn down the volume on the PA system during rehearsals and practice “quietly” so that fans waiting outside stadiums couldn’t hear.
“It is so much extra work to keep things a surprise,” Taylor said in “Magic of the Eras,” the second episode of the docuseries. “Let me tell ya, I need a nap just thinking about it. But it’s so worth it when we can actually pull it off.”
