‘What if I over-served fans?’
Taylor Swift opens her new Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era with a message to the performers who joined her on the Eras tour.
Just before the final show in Vancouver, she tells them, “We have done something that no one has ever done,” adding, “We have performed for over 10 million people, in person… We performed for 10 million plus people.”
Swift reflects on how each member of her team found their path. “I think about every single one of you as a little kid… Every single one of us has picked professions that categorically people tell you [that] you should do it.”
The six-part series, previewed earlier this week in New York with Disney Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden, gives fans a close look at the tour’s creative and emotional center.
Alongside the premiere, Disney+ also released Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, The Final Show, the post-Tortured Poets cut of her concert film.
Swift explains that the concept for the Eras tour emerged two years before launch, inspired by “unpleasant” events: the sale of her catalog and the decision to rerecord her early albums, paired with the isolation of the pandemic.
With rehearsals under way, she aimed to “over-serve” fans with the scale and scope of the show. “What if I did a tour that celebrated all of these different moments in my life and career?” she recalls.
The series also covers the tour announcement on Good Morning America and the ensuing Ticketmaster chaos, before shifting to more serious moments.
“Never in my life did I think we would have a terrorist plot,” Swift says of the canceled Vienna dates after an attack plan was uncovered. She breaks down when describing the Liverpool stabbing at a Swift-themed event: the victims were children.
The episodes also follow Swift’s first call with fiancé Travis Kelce after Vienna, her reunion with Ed Sheeran in London, and her secret preparation of The Tortured Poets Department set. She credits Emma Stone for linking her with choreographer Mandy Moore.
Fan-favourite dancer Kameron Saunders receives a spotlight as he prepares “Florida!!!” with Florence Welch.
New episodes release weekly on Disney+.
The Traitors’ winner Rachel Duffy has shared a sweet yet emotional tribute to her mother, Anne.
Throughout the show, mother-of-three, 43, shared her plans for how she would use the prize money if she won ,by creating memories with her mum, who was tragically diagnosed with Parkinson’s at just 47 and spent her last few years with dementia.
Sharing the heartbreaking news on her Instagram on Tuesday morning, January 27, 2026, Rachel Duffy said she was “heartbroken” at the death of her “beautiful wee mummy.”
On Sunday, Rachel took to Instagram where she shared a montage of photos and an emotional message. She wrote: ‘Thank you Mummy, thank you for loving us so much.
‘Thank you for teaching us our worth. Thank you for so much kindness shown and taught. Thank you for endless laughs and lots of fun. Thank you for helping us parent our babies. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on when we needed one.
‘Thank you for the many words of wisdom over the years. Thank you for showing us the true meaning of integrity. Thank you for giving us a beautiful life. Thank you for a lifetime of happy memories.
‘Thank you for being our mummy. We love you x’.
It comes after she won the BBC reality show The Traitors along with her fellow Traitor, Stephen Duffy.
Trevor Noah hosted the Grammys for a record sixth time after the show’s producer, Ben Winston, revealed ahead of the ceremony that he begged the comedian for his services.
“It got to December, and we hadn’t found anybody that we absolutely loved. I sent him a video, and I was literally, I was on my knees in this video, and I said, ‘Please look at this incredible lineup that we’ve got on the show — the only thing that’s missing is you,’” the producing executive admitted. “‘Come back and do one final year, it’s the last year on CBS, let’s make it your last year too.’”
While Noah generously accepted the offer, the ceremony ended up on Donald Trump’s radar due to the very hosting stint which Winston went all out for.
The American president denounced the Epstein joke which the Grammys host made at his expense and threatened legal action.
“The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer,” the head of state shared via his Truth Social profile.
Taking a dig at Noah, Trump continued, “The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards.”
“Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.”
For the record, Noah initiated his joke about Trump as he congratulated Billie Eilish for winning song of the year.
“There you have it, song of the year! Congratulations, Billie Eilish. Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants, almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he said. “Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”
Trump further listed George Stephanopoulos, host and former White House Communications Director, as someone he has successfully sued. While he told Trevor Noah to “get ready” because he plans to “have some fun” with him.
