The Life Of A Showgirl wasn’t what Taylor Swift fans were expecting, but the upcoming The End Of An Era docuseries will fill in the missing pieces. When Swift first announced the album on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, she convinced fans that the album would give an in-depth look at the behind-the-scenes of the Eras Tour.
What The Life Of A Showgirl actually had in store was a love story between Swift and Travis Kelceset to Max Martin-produced upbeat pop tracks. To say fans were confused is an understatement, but Swift is a woman of her word, and the full story is set to come out when her docuseries premieres in December.
The Eras Tour Docuseries Promises Darker BTS Than The Life Of A Showgirl
While the love songs that made up The Life Of A Showgirl tracklist didn’t add up to what Swift had described the album to be, The End Of An Era seems to cover the highs and lows of being on the biggest tour in history. The trailer for the docuseries includes clips from the show, Swift getting ready backstage, and footage of her and Kelce.
However, the real story of Swift’s Disney+ docuseries comes at the end of the trailer, where Swift talks about her post-show routine. After coming off such a high-energy concert, she can’t sleep. Instead, she turns to TV, room service, and signing CDs. That’s the kind of hardship Swift spoke of in her podcast interview.
When she singsoftentimes it doesn’t feel so glamorous to be me” on “Elizabeth Taylor,” this is what she’s referring to. Despite the glittery costumes, pyrotechnics, and adoring audience members, the Eras Tour was more than meets the eye.
One clip from the trailer showcases Swift doing a pretty intense workout to prepare for the tour. Meanwhile, Kelce mentioned on New Heights that Swift battled illnesses, sore feet, and exhaustionbut still got on stage to perform every weekend.
Swift was all smiles in many of the trailer clips. However, that final scene suggests fans are going to see a much heavier side to the tour of the decade.
How The Docuseries Completes The Life Of A Showgirl Era
It seems Swift’s Disney+ documentary may act as a b-side to The Life Of A Showgirl. The popstar’s comments during her New Heights podcast episodes were seemingly an easter egg for the documentarynot an inside look at the subjects she’d sing about on the album.
Swift also teased fans with two exit signs that appeared in album artwork, her Spotify pop-up shop, and her interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The double album theory was proven correct with Swift’s The Tortured Poets Departmentbut the trailer for The End Of An Era suggests there are two parts to it The Life Of A Showgirltoo.
While Swift may have been experiencing the best love of her life off stageshe was also putting on the most stressful tour of her career. Swift dove in with the aesthetics of The Life Of A Showgirl album, expressing her inner Vegas showgirl.
However, the photoshoots didn’t match up with the music. Taylor Swift‘s docuseries is putting an end to the confusion among Swifties, proving there’s more to it The Life Of A Showgirl the wind says just the album.
