Taylor Swift is taking Us fans behind-the-scenes of filming The Eras Tour: The Final Show.
“One of the things that I was so impressed by, and the needle Glenn [Weiss, the director] threaded so effortlessly, is that the Eras Tour was such a phenomenon because of so many factors,” Swift, 36, told 2026 Emmys voters on Wednesday, August 19, in Los Angeles, per Deadline. “One that I know that is really important is that it was a source of great escapism for the people who were there. Glenn and I had conversations about ‘How do we preserve this experience?’”
Swift embarked on an ultimately record-breaking Eras Tour in March 2023, which wrapped in December 2024. One year after the curtain closed on the three-hour concerts, Disney+ released footage of the final show and an accompanying behind-the-scenes docuseries.
The Eras Tour: The Final Show, directed by Weiss, received five nominations at the 2026 Emmys for Best Variety Special (Prerecorded), Best Directing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Picture Editing For Variety Programming, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Series or Special and Outstanding Technical Direction and Camerawork for a special.
Celebrating the honors, Swift joined Weiss and sound designer John Ross at Los Angeles’ Ross House on Wednesday to discuss the project and how they initially wanted to replicate the same excitement felt inside stadiums in the documentary.
“If you lose the feeling of relaxation and freedom for the fans there, then you’ve lost a huge element of what makes this concert experience so special,” the pop star, rocking a floral sundress, mused. “Glenn created a situation where the fans could be lost in the moment because of the rehearsals that he did with our dancers and me leading into the final show.”
She further quipped, “If you liked the choreography that you saw of our dancers, you should have seen the footwork of our Steadicam operator.”

“It was a fun offseason, man. [Our] wedding was the best night of my life,” Kelce gushed during a Kansas City Chiefs press conference held earlier this month. “I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us.
