Will Taylor Swift release an Eras Tour behind-the-scenes tour documentary alongside her new album The Life of a Showgirl? Fans have a theory she's working on one.

With Taylor Swift's Eras Tour now complete and her 12th studio album (The Life of Showgirl) just around the corner, Swifties have been speculating that Taylor could be planning to announce a tour documentary.

The Eras Tour was a spectacular showcase of Taylor's incredible discography, and a celebration of the superstar reclaiming her own music. The actual show is a feat in itself too – over three hours long, with 46 songs including two surprise songs every single night.

It's her biggest and best tour yet and it's clear that a lot of thought, heart and preparation has gone into the making of it. Understandably, fans are desperate to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how it was all pulled together.

Speculation about a tour documentary has been brewing for a while after fans spotted film crews in the audience as well as capturing Taylor's exit from the cleaning cart on her way to the stage.

Taylor has already released the Eras Tour concert film, but could a documentary soon be on the way?

Will Taylor Swift release an Eras Tour documentary?

Back in December 2023, Taylor released the Eras Tour concert film in cinemas before it eventually dropped on Disney+. The concert film was filmed over three nights at the end of her first U.S. leg in Los Angeles.

While fans are obviously over the moon to have the opportunity to re-live or watch the Eras Tour for the first time, the demand for a full behind-the-scenes documentary on how she pulled it all together is also growing.

And there's so many questions that fans are dying to know the answers to...

How did Taylor go about selecting the songs for the setlist? How did she decide what era to start with, and what order the rest of them would be in? What's the thought process behind which surprise songs she chooses for each night? How does she prepare before taking to the stage for over 3 hours? How did she go about choosing which 'Tortured Poets' songs to add to the setlist? Did she plan to release 'TTPD' while on tour this whole time?

The costumes, the staging, the dancers... The weather troubles! The Ticketmaster disaster! The crowds gathering outside the stadium to experience the show! The Travis Kelce of it all!

There's been no confirmation about an Eras Tour documentary just yet, but fans did notice several instances of camera crews filming at Taylor's London shows.

In one video posted on X/Twitter, a cameraman and a boom mic operator can be seen as Taylor gets out of the cleaning cart that transports her to the Eras Tour stage. Others spotted cameras filming the post-concert clean up, as well as fans dancing in the crowds.

Back in 2023, fans noticed that Taylor was being filmed by a camera crew at the premiere of The Eras Tour movie.

Now, speculation has shifted to the release her The Life of a Showgirl album release as fans think several clues are pointing towards Taylor revealing more behind the scenes footage from The Eras Tour.

On August 12th, Taylor announced The Life of a Showgirl in a clip shared by New Heights podcast. Speaking on boyfriend Travis and his brother Jason Kelce's podcast, Taylor is now set to reveal more in the full episode airing on Wednesday August 13th.

In the build up to the episode, Taylor has now released a countdown on her website which includes the orange door she walked through at the back of the stage on the Eras Tour final show, as well as a series of locks that feature a keyhole the shape of the Eras Tour stage.

Swifties are now convinced that along with the album, she'll release a behind-the-scenes documentary about The Eras Tour and the two (!) albums she wrote while on it.

We'll find out if all those clues are true when the podcast episode drops!
