When it comes to the biggest name in pop music, it seems like her life is looking less like that of a showgirl and more like that of a successful businesswoman these days. Depending on who you ask, of course.

Taylor Swift is one of the most in-demand artists in the world, if not the most – and arguably of all time. Her recent 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, had the biggest album opening ever, according to Billboard, moving over 4 million album-equivalent units in the US in its first week. Her Eras Tour is the most profitable concert tour ever, and the film about it shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing concert film ever.

And she is not slowing down on content-making or record-breaking.

The pop sensation is bringing fans another concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – The Final Show, which includes a set with her “Tortured Poets Department” songs, which she released while on tour.

She is also releasing a documentary series, titled Taylor Swift: The End of an Era, which promises a peek behind the curtain of the behemoth tour. The concert film and the first two episodes of the six-part docuseries are now streaming on Disney+. The remaining episodes will be released on December 19 and 26.

While many fans are celebrating the new material, it comes after heavy criticism of her latest album and the promotion and roll-out of the music. Some fans and critics of the singer are questioning whether Swift is overexposed or if her recent work is feeding a culture of consumerism.
