In the Disney+ trailer announcing both projects, we see Taylor being led to the stage in her glittering dress for the “Enchanted” set. “People like to talk about phenomenons,” she says in voiceover. “Almost as if it was pieces falling into place. As if it just happened.” Cue flashes of rehearsal footage; Swift enjoying downtime with her mom and kissing her now-fiancé, Travis Kelce, backstage; boards with song titles on them; intense training sessions at the gym; costume changes; home videos of her as a little girl playing the piano with her grandma; and cameos from everyone from her cats to Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Florence Welch, and Gracie Abrams. “We have broken every single record you can break with this tour,” she continues. “The only thing left is to close the book.”
Fittingly, the trailer ends with Taylor running herself a bath. “I’ll not be able to get to sleep,” she tells the camera, while wiping off her make-up and pulling off her fake eyelashes. “I can’t come down. I watch tons of TV, I eat room service in bed, I sign a box of 2,000 CDs, and then I’m tired. Then we do the whole thing again.” This kind of post-mayhem downtime is, of course, what inspired The Life of a Showgirl—and it’s why Swift is literally in a bathtub on the cover of this album.
The Final Show was directed by Glenn Weiss and filmed in Vancouver, while The End of an Era was helmed by Don Argott, with Sheena M. Joyce co-directing. The former will be streaming from December 12, along with the first two episodes of the latter. After that, two episodes of the show will drop each week, ending on December 26. (And of course Taylor announced this on October 13.)
