Bold docuseries or dull branding exercise? What The End of an Era really told us about Taylor Swift
"Taylor is my friend, she says. I know her as this very cosy person, and I came out of that lift and I was like, Oh my God, it's fucking Taylor Swift.' If Swift is a cosy person, The End of an Era now complete, with its concluding episodes dropping today is certainly a cosy watch; the sort of lighthearted, low-demand viewing that feels especially welcome in the lazy days leading up to Christmas and stretching towards the new year."
"Only the first episode offered true revelations, dwelling on a genuine moment of peril: the aftermath of a foiled Islamic State plot to target her three concerts in Vienna in August 2024, just over a week after three little girls were murdered at a Swift-themed dance class in Southport. Swift is clearly and understandably shaken, but wills herself not to break down in front of the grieving parents she has invited to the show:"
The End of an Era captures backstage moments from Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and Florence Welch joining to sing 'Florida!!!'. Welch describes Swift as a cosy, unassuming person and recounts stepping out of a lift in stunned recognition. The six hour-long episodes frequently feel repetitive and lacking jeopardy. Only the first episode contains a genuine revelation: the aftermath of a foiled Islamic State plot to target three Vienna concerts in August 2024, days after a murder at a Swift-themed dance class. Swift appears shaken but composes herself around grieving parents. Swift's mother suggested she date NFL star Travis Kelce; they are now engaged.
