On Tuesday, Taylor shook the pop culture-verse by dropping the video without a prior announcement.
This comes after The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Taylor is working on a documentary of her record-breaking Eras tour.
The video starts with an Eras Tour stadium filled with seats and the star doing an all-hands pump-up motion with her crew backstage.
The montage then spliced together Taylor, 34, performing in various ensembles on stage and candid, casual looks during rehearsals.
While practicing, she showed off some legs in a mauve skirt and a tight beige top.
In another intimate moment, she sat on the stage playing an air keyboard with her eyes closed in an all-black athleisure look.
The video served as a rare look at the intense orchestration that goes into each of the star’s Eras stops.
An intricate bedframe set piece could be seen being moved onto the stage as she practiced the song, as well as her beloved backup dancers.
The scaffolding underneath the stage could also be seen, which was roomy enough for Taylor to swing under for reveals.
Taylor made it clear she’s one with her tour staff and with her fans.
Various audience shots showed her animated crowds singing every lyric to the track.

WHAT FANS THINK
Fans flooded the comments section of the video, sharing their first thoughts.
“For a Tour of this magnitude, a documentary is a MUST or even better a DOCU SERIES,” one fan speculated.
“So that’s what’s underneath the stage,” wrote another.
Taylor Swift fan praised for ‘iconic behaviour’ with brutal jab at Tommy Fury during Wembley ‘diss track’
“Taylor must be so proud of herself! The eras tour will go down in history,” wrote a third.
“It’s heartwarming to see how nice she treats everybody in her team. Everyone seems to be genuinely happy while doing their part,” wrote a fourth.
DOCUMENTARY INCOMING?
The video could be the kickstart of a documentary rollout – the potential concert movie does not yet have a release date.
A music insider earlier told The U.S. Sun that Taylor has been quietly filming behind the scenes of the Eras Tour since last year.
They said she’s been compiling footage to make into a concert movie.
Taylor’s bitter feud with Kanye and Kim explained
Taylor Swift has been locked in a nasty feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for years.
- 2009 – Kanye interrupted Taylor’s VMA win for Best Female Video onstage, saying, “I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time”
- 2009 – Later that month, Kanye admitted he regretted the action and Taylor confirmed that he rang to apologize
- 2010 – Taylor performed Innocent, a song rumored to be about Kanye, at the VMAs, singing, “It’s all right / Just wait and see / Your string of lights is still bright to me / Who you are is not where you’ve been”
- 2013 – Kanye took back his apology to the singer, insisting, “I do not have one regret”
- 2015 – The former rivals reunited at the 2015 Grammy Awards and posed together for photos and Taylor later said she “likes him as a person”
- 2016 – Kanye debuted his song, Famous, with the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous”
- 2016 – After Taylor insisted she did not approve the lyric, “I made that b***h famous,” Kim released video footage of her phone call with Kanye
- 2017 – Taylor seemingly referenced their feud in her album, Reputation, teasing the news with videos of a serpent – a nod to the snake emojis posted in her Instagram comments implying she was a liar – and seemed to diss Kanye in her song, This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
- 2018 – Taylor said Kim had not released the full recording and asked, “Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that b***h’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened. You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that b***’ in front of the entire world”
- 2019 – Kim insisted in a magazine interview that they had “squashed” their feud
- 2019 – Taylor claimed Kanye’s Famous music video was “revenge porn” as it featured a fake naked sculpture of her
- 2020 – The full phone call between Taylor and Kanye was leaked, in which there was no mention of her being called “that b***h”
- 2020 – Kim initially said the call revealed “nothing new” and later backtracked and tweeted, “the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…’ They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word ‘b***h’ was used without her permission.
- 2023 – Taylor said in a TIME interview that the feud with Kim and Kanye felt like a “career death” and “took her down psychologically”
“It will be a warts—and—all insight into the tour and the mechanics behind it, which will be fascinating for fans.
“The documentary will also reference Southport and Vienna.”
As the insider mentioned, Taylor’s tour has not been without its tragedies.
A Southport show had a horrific stabbing spree with three young girls dead and ten injured – two survivors she later met backstage.
She had to cancel Vienna shows due to a foiled terror plot.
“It will be powerful and emotional, as well as an uplifting celebration of Taylor and her incredible fans.”
Taylor has released concert documentaries before, including Miss Americana in 2020 which was a smash hit on Netflix.
