\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a>\u2018s Eras Tour will go down in history as a record-breaking feat that managed to bring tremendous amounts of joy to millions of fans, even when that didn\u2019t seem possible. In the Disney+ documentary series<\/a>, The End of an Era<\/a><\/em>, filmmakers Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce, along with the star subject herself attempt to chronicle all the many facets of the tour. \u201cEvery single night, no matter what\u2019s going on, we\u2019re going to do everything in our power to blow your mind,\u201d Swift says in the series, referring to the show. <\/p>\n \n\tShe might as well be referring to the series itself, too. Over six, nearly hour-long episodes, The End of an Era <\/em>takes fans behind-the-scenes of some crucial moments<\/a> and shows just how the magic came together. Despite the series\u2019 length and scope, there\u2019s still a lot of questions left unanswered. Maybe in 50 years this will all be declassified version, but, for now, we\u2019re left wondering about some major moments and logistics, compiled below.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the first episode of The End of the Era<\/em>, Taylor reveals to Ed Sheeran that the crew filming them at that very moment was supposed to start rolling in Vienna, Austria<\/a>. Of course, Swift and her team were forced to cancel three nights<\/a> in the city after a terrorist plot<\/a> was foiled. It makes sense that the team began filming in London, instead, but it\u2019s not totally clear why filming for the docu-series in general began in the middle of the European leg of the tour. Footage from the first day of rehearsal for the Eras Tour<\/a> or general planning is included, which would have been well before the tour opener in March 2023. There\u2019s so much that happened in the first year of the tour<\/a>, from surprise guests to album announcements, it feels like a missed opportunity to not have documented it.<\/p>\n \n\tThe allure of the Eras Tour has always been about how the show chronicles Taylor\u2019s music and life, moving through each definitive chapter\u2019s songs and vibe. In the doc series, Taylor talks about how re-recording<\/a> her first six albums after the masters were sold<\/a> in a controversial deal helped her to recast the whole ordeal as \u201ccelebrating your past\u201d and \u201call the different girls I was until I was this one.\u201d And yet, in that celebration she missed the album that kickstarted her career: her 2006 self-titled debut. Despite shots in the doc of a Post-It note wall of the setlist that features some pivotal Taylor Swift<\/em> tracks like \u201cPicture to Burn\u201d and \u201cTim McGraw,\u201d the official setlist never featured any songs from the album. Sure, Taylor chose those songs for some surprise song moments throughout, but the album never got its due with a fully produced era in the show. As the singer explains the 40-song setlist<\/a> to the crew in the doc, she still never mentions her self-titled LP or the reasons why she didn\u2019t include it. Justice for debut!<\/p>\n\n\t\tWhy did filming start in the middle of the European leg of the tour?<\/strong>\t<\/h3>\n
\n\t\tWhy wasn\u2019t Taylor\u2019s self-titled debut included in the official set list?<\/strong>\t<\/h3>\n
