Taylor Swift fans have a lot to say about Eras Tour: End of an era docuseries after watching the first two episodes, and it’s not all pure praise.
The 36-year-old pop superstar had promised her fans a behind-the-scenes look at her record-breaking tour after the 3.5-hour show ended, when the glitz and glamor would wear off and Swift would return to her life off stage.
However, after watching the documentary, many fans said that instead of a candid behind-the-scenes look, the Ophelia’s destiny The hitmaker presented a “calculated vulnerability.”
Swifties gave examples like selective footage with fans, glossing over the Ticketmaster fiasco, as well as well-placed emotional moments that seem too good to be natural, in episodes.
Many also raised issues with the documentary not containing a coherent narrative, leaving the viewer scrambling to piece together its meanings.
Criticism is nothing new for the Grammy winner, who received similar comments following the release of her 2020 documentary, Miss American.
While the 2020 release promised a behind-the-scenes look at Swift’s life and an intimate chronicle of her journey as a musician, it disappointed many fans by being more of a promotional supplement to her album, Lover.
Two episodes into the series, the Empty space The singer gave a little insight into her relationship with now-engaged Travis Kelce, but no story about how they got together and grew closer during the tour, which seemed to be more of the focus of the teasers.
Overall, the series seems to lack a story behind it. Perhaps due to a clear creative direction, the documentary features many simultaneous storylines, but they don’t really collide or culminate into one.
