Taylor Swift’s ‘End of an Era’ Docuseries Launches With an Impressive Rotten Tomatoes Score

Taylor Swift’s new docuseries, The End of an Era, has officially arrived on Disney+, and early reactions have been very strong.

The first two episodes of the six-part series are now streaming. The project follows Swift’s historic Eras Tour, which ran from March 2023 through December 2024 and became the highest-grossing tour of all time.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the docuseries debuted with an 88 percent critic score and a 95 percent audience score, based on early reviews and fan ratings.

The series takes viewers behind the scenes of the massive tour. It shows how the shows were built, how the crew worked across countries, and how Swift handled life away from the stage. The episodes also focus on the people around her, including dancers, musicians, and crew members, giving them space to share their own stories.

The End of an Era was released alongside the concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour: The Final Show. The remaining episodes of the docuseries are set to drop later this month, with new installments arriving on December 19 and December 26. The full series will include six episodes in total.

Critics have responded positively so far. Many reviews point out that the docuseries does more than show big performances. It highlights the emotional side of the tour and the pressure that comes with running such a large operation. Reviewers have also praised how the series balances Swift’s creative personality with her role as the leader of a huge production. Several critics noted that the spotlight on the crew adds depth and makes the story feel more human.

After so much Eras Tour, here’s more Eras Tour. But Taylor Swift: The End of an Era is a nice illumination into the singer-songwriter’s hugely-scaled professional operation and her personal, sometimes emotional world.

Getting a closer look at those teammates here is one of the best reasons to watch “The End of an Era.” Because you get the sense that there could be a pretty good six-episode documentary made about the tour even if Swift didn’t appear in it at all.

Illuminating that balance, picking out moments that contrast Swift’s goofiness, thoughtfulness and vulnerability as a creative person and the almost steely power she exerts as the detail-obsessed prime mover of such an enormous undertaking.

Call me sentimental, the footage of girls, especially those the age of the Southport victims, flinging themselves around without a shred of self-consciousness says as much about the point of all this as the Eras masterminds could ever spill.

The docuseries also explores the cultural impact of the Eras Tour. It looks at how fans connected with the shows and why the tour became such a major moment in pop culture. The focus is not just on success, but also on exhaustion, teamwork, and personal challenges along the way.
