On Thursday (Nov. 13), Taylor Swift <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/taylor-swift-lets-fans-her-155132425.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:revealed more from her behind-the-scenes documentary;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">revealed more from her behind-the-scenes documentary<\/a> Taylor Swift: The End of an Era with a longer trailer that promises \u201can unprecedented look\u201d at what made her earth-shattering Eras Tour tick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fans can likely expect many easter eggs to decipher when it premieres \u2013 and perhaps some unanswered questions too (What exactly was the meaning of the gold Reputation suit? Why didn\u2019t she wear certain 1989 outfits?). But the two-and-a-half-minute-long video does offer a few new insights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the preview, Swift \u2013 whose 12th studio album The Life of the Showgirl broke <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/taylor-swift-achieves-solo-artist-173009581.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:the modern-day record for equivalent album units sold in its first week;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">the modern-day record for equivalent album units sold in its first week<\/a> with 4.002 million and has currently spent five weeks at <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/taylor-swift-life-showgirl-scores-200221360.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:No. 1 on the Billboard 200;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/a>, with its lead single \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d also sitting <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/taylor-swift-fate-ophelia-leads-185238499.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:on top of the Hot 100;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">on top of the Hot 100<\/a> for the same amount of time \u2013 and those around her share both personal revelations and technical aspects of working on the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019m very aware of mysterious forces at play that I will never have any control of,\u201d she narrates. \u201cThis show created a bonding experience for like 70,000 people all at once. There\u2019s something very special about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The six-part series \u2013 which pairs with The Eras Tour: The Final Show that includes The Tortured Poets Department set \u2013 begins with its first two episodes on Disney+ on Dec. 12, just in time for Swift\u2019s 36th birthday on Dec. 13. Below, read about the nine new things we learned from the freshly released footage.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Someone Sends Her a Clear Message<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before taking the stage for the Lover opener at one of her stops, Swift receives a computerized message of encouragement \u2013 in part, \u201cHave as much fun as you can, we\u2019ve got your back\u201d \u2013 at her feet.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">An Era Long in the Making<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI came up with the idea for the Eras Tour about two years before the tour started,\u201d she says. \u201cI wanted to overserve the fans in terms of the amount of songs they were going to hear and how far I was going to push myself. My main goal is to give something to the fans that they didn\u2019t expect.\u201d The Eras Tour began its reign on March 17, 2023. So working backward, Swift conceptualized the concert experience prior to the release of Fearless (Taylor\u2019s Version) and Red (Taylor\u2019s Version) \u2013 which came out in April 2021 and November 2021, respectively<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">It Was an Eagles Sweatshirt Hanging on Her Door<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In what appears to be an introductory meeting between Swift and her backup dancers, the superstar sports an Eagles crewneck. Back during the Philadelphia dates, she clarified that she did mean the football team in her \u201cGold Rush\u201d lyrics and not the band, but clearly her NFL loyalties have shifted. (More on that later.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">She Plays It Cool With the Best of Them<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Swift values talent. \u201cAll the dancers, the choreographers, the production designers, the crew, the entire band: every person is the best one in the entire industry,\u201d she explains. Indeed, the doc features a plethora of behind-the-scenes personnel, including choreographer Mandy Moore, as well as those with her on stage. (Check out guitarist Amos Heller rehearsing in a bathroom.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">They Aren\u2019t Dancing With Their Hands Tied (or Their Mouths Closed)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The dancers do actually speak now. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen the boss with this much passion about their job,\u201d backup dancer Whyley Yoshimura says of Swift in an interview. Will we get to hear from all of them?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Human Exclamation Point Is Ready for His Close-Up<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cTravis Kelce, he brings a lot of happiness,\u201d Swift\u2019s mom Andrea reveals of her daughter\u2019s now-fianc\u00e9. And Swift \u2013 who wears at least two different Kansas City Chiefs tops during the documentary and watches his game on TV \u2013 makes a cute phone call with the tight end while being driven around, where the two joke about how they have the same job. \u201cYou\u2019ve got teammates, I\u2019ve got teammates,\u201d he says. \u201cYou\u2019ve got Coach [Andy] Reid, I\u2019ve got my mom,\u201d she counters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">And He Waited by the Stage Door<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cTay Tay,\u201d a crouching Kelce bellows from beneath the arena as Swift comes down from her Midnights closer, and the pair share a kiss and ride off together on the contraption that transports her under the set. (A far cry from \u201cI couldn\u2019t find you and I got so sad.\u201d)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">There Will Be \u2018Red\u2019 and \u2018Reputation\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the first trailer, released last October, home videos of Swift with her grandmother (and namesake inspiration behind the Evermore track) Marjorie surfaced. This time, videos of the Red Tour (an official movie never materialized) and the Reputation Tour (no longer available to stream) also make appearances.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">All That\u2019s Left Is the Manuscript (and Cleaning Up Bottles on New Year\u2019s Day)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Since the Nov. 11, 2023, show in Argentina, Swift started incorporating mash-ups into the surprise acoustic sections \u2013 at that time, it was \u201cIs It Over Now\u201d combined with \u201cOut of the Woods.\u201d Once she hit the second of her Melbourne dates on Feb. 17, 2024, the combos became a staple. Here, the icon provides a peek into her mind when composing the final mash-up (in Vancouver on Dec. 8, 2024) of \u201cLong Live,\u201d \u201cNew Year\u2019s Day\u201d and \u201cThe Manuscript.\u201d \u201cSo it goes \u2018New Year\u2019s Day\u2019 verse and chorus. \u2018Manuscript\u2019 bridge into \u2018Long Live\u2019 bridge into the down verse of \u2018Long Live.\u2019 Into \u2018hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you.\u2019 Into \u2018Long Live\u2019 chorus, but slow it down to half-time, \u2018New Year\u2019s Day chords underneath it, into the last verse of \u2018The Manuscript,\u201d Swift explains to her mystified mother. \u201cThat\u2019s complicated,\u201d Andrea retorts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.billboard.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Billboard's Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Billboard&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
