Taylor Swift’s latest documentary has been available for only a matter of hours, yet fans across the globe are already having a remarkably united response.
The End Of An Era is a six-part, behind-the-scenes series charting how Swift brought her record-breaking Eras tour to life.

The documentary features insights from the singer herself, alongside contributions from her dancers, set designers and fellow artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ed Sheeran.
One fan neatly captured the mood on X, writing: “So we’re all sobbing watching The End of an Era right?” A sentiment that, judging by the online reaction, appears to be widely shared.
Swifties React Emotionally to Taylor Swift’s New Documentary
Judging by social media, the documentary has struck a powerful chord. Fans have described themselves as “dehydrated from crying” and reassured one another they “made the right person famous” after staying up late to watch the series as soon as it premiered.
The emotional response reflects the deep connection many fans feel to the Eras tour, which became a cultural moment as much as a musical one. The scale of the tour, and the personal access offered by the documentary, has amplified those feelings even further.
How the Eras Tour Became a Global and Economic Phenomenon
Swift’s Eras tour did more than dominate headlines. In the UK alone, it reportedly contributed £1 billion to the economy through ticket sales and associated travel and accommodation spending, giving rise to the term “Swiftonomics”.
The 149-date tour spanned six continents, including 15 shows in the UK, and went on to become the most commercially successful tour of all time. When tickets were first released, Swift later described the experience as “excruciating” after Ticketmaster crashed, leaving huge numbers of fans unable to secure seats.
Celebrity Sightings and the Intense Preparation Behind the Scenes
The London dates attracted a host of high-profile attendees, from Prince William, who managed to secure a backstage pass, to Hugh Grant and Fleabag stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott, all proudly wearing friendship bracelets.
The documentary also highlights the intensity of Swift’s preparation. Her routine reportedly included running on a treadmill while singing her entire setlist, cutting out alcohol, and limiting her interactions to a small “bubble” of people to avoid illness and prevent show cancellations.
