It was the End of an Era and we knew it. We wanted to remember every moment leading up to the culmination of the most important and intense chapter of our lives, so we allowed filmmakers to capture this tour and all the stories woven throughout it as it wound down. And to film the final show in its entirety.
The Eras Tour | The Final Show, featuring the entire Tortured Poets Department set, and the first two episodes of The End of an Era, a 6-episode behind-the-scenes docuseries will be yours December 12th on @DisneyPlus
This post is dedicated to the new Tortured Poets section of the Eras Tour (aka Female Rage The Musical!) and everyone who made these memories so magical. To my crew, fellow performers, and band who worked tirelessly in their break to concoct this surprise for you - but mostly for the fans in Paris. I’m so thankful that it was you we got to show this to for the first time because you gave us so much excitement, passion, and love. I’m SO fired up to play this for every crowd on the tour. See you very soon, Stockholm! 🤍

When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music. Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it. Post Malone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration. I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets). I still can’t believe I get to work with the unfathomably brilliant Rodrigo Prieto on cinematography and my team of dream collaborators: Ethan Tobman (production design), Chancler Haynes (editor), Anthony Dimino (1st AD), Jil Hardin (producer) and Dom Thomas (executive producer). Parliament aced the VFX as always. Joseph Cassell, Lorrie Turk and Jemma Muradian made these tortured looks come to life. The entire crew made this a dream to shoot. Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who has watched it!!

The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is out now: https://t.co/PzuwWnatO7
The first single from The Tortured Poets Department is…………. Fortnight featuring @postmalone 🤍 I’ve been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever. I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight. Honestly can’t wait for you guys to hear this song at Midnight TONIGHT and see the video at 8pm ET TOMORROW.

We got to play 6 shows in Singapore for the most wonderful crowds - just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who traveled and put so much effort into being at our shows. What an unforgettable way to end this leg of the tour!! See you in May when we get back to the Eras Tour!! In the meantime I’ve got an album to release… 🤍✍️
Melbourne, what do I even say to you after over 288,000 of you came and danced with us in the last 3 nights ??! That was unforgettable. You were on an another LEVEL. Thank you for the memories. I’ll revisit the ones from this weekend often 🥲🫶

for literally ANYONE who may not know: the amount of stalkers and death threats she’s received has forced her security team to set up facial recognition software at concerts to track her stalkers. Her security team also carries wound dressings and QuikClot with them in case she’s attacked. This particular stalker just arrested was seen over 30 TIMES in the last 2 months near her apartment but was only now finally put in jail. But people will still complain that her private jet is simple preposterous and can’t fathom WHY she can’t fly commercially. (she bought more than DOUBLE the carbon credits needed to help offset the costs of her travel just an fyi).
And now you have sick fucks making ai p0rn of her because what? Because She went to a football game? Because she’s acting like a normal human again and letting herself be seen in public again? Now we have people saying “it’s good that these images were made of her b/c now she will do something about it”. Why should she HAVE to be an activist for this kind of shit. She was previously a victim of SA and she took the man to court only after her tried to sue HER for the loss of his job. She countered for $1. Literally $1 just to make a statement (yes, she won.) Maybe just maybeee men (and some women) could stop being fucking freaks and start treating females with respect. Why don’t you go and make ai images of yourself or your s.o. or family if you love doing it so much? It’s just fake anyway, right?
And to say you dislike Taylor’s music is perfectly fine, not everyone is a fan, but that is NO excuse to treat her like she’s subhuman. Just admit you have a fragile masculinity and can’t handle seeing an extremely successful woman be happy.
Taylor has been in the spotlight for 18 years now, and she has NEVER had a single person come out saying anything but nice things after an encounter with her (fuck Kimye, they were proven to be liars when the whole phone call was leaked but 1/2 of y’all already spent years DRAGGING her for it). She silently donates HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars to local food banks to the cities she tours in. She is an extremely generous boss and gave her truck drivers EACH a $100k bonus this past year for helping on the US leg of the tour (she in total handed out 5mil worth of bonuses to her tour crew). She’s invited HUNDREDS of fans into her homes to show them her new albums before they were released and even REMEMBERS THEM BY NAME. She’s a truly just GOOD human being. But y’all want to criticize her every second for dating in her 20s (she’s had 13 bfs over 18 years btw but y’all wanna act like she had a new one every week)
If there was ever a human who DESERVES their fame, it’s undoubtedly Taylor Swift.
She’s literally just a woman doing what she loves and supporting the people she loves. The absolute BARE MINIMUM you could do is just show a modicum of respect.
.@samlansky has such a wondrous way with words, and I’ve loved reading his pieces for over a decade. If you’ve ever been around him, you know he’s just the best type of person: Curious. Interested. Hilarious. Intriguing and intrigued. I have tRuSt iSSueS when it comes to interviews but I couldn’t be happier that I did this one with him. I was blown away to see quotes from people I adore and admire like Stevie Nicks, Greta Gerwig, Shonda Rhimes, Phoebe Bridgers, Natalie Maines, Kenny Chesney, and Lucian Grainge. I was so happy he spoke to fans Madison and McCall who were so eloquent, loyal, and kind. I’m really reflecting on this year, and all the years that led up to it. Can’t say thank you enough times. 🥲
