Disney+ is officially Swiftie Central on Friday: a heaping helping of Taylor Swift-related content has arrived.

The first two episodes of The End of an Era, a six-episode docuseries that gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, are now streaming. Also available is Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show, which captures the tour’s last show in Vancouver, British Columbia, in December 2024.

Even if you’ve already seen last year’s Eras Tour, The Final Show offers something new: The Tortured Poets Department segment, which Taylor added following the 2024 release of the album.

For those without Disney+, ABC will air episode 1 of The End of an Era and a one-hour version of the concert special on Friday at 8 p.m. ET.

In the documentary, Taylor reflects on the tour’s impact, saying, “This show created a bonding experience for 70,000 people all at once and I don’t know how that happened. I’ve never been part of a phenomenon before.”

She admitted she was surprised by the success of the tour during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

“It took a second,” she said. “In the beginning, we were seeing all this insane demand for the tour, but I chalked it up to, ‘I’ve put out five albums. I haven’t gotten to tour any of them and there’s built-up demand.'”

“I didn’t realize it was going to be this until you start hearing people’s experiences at the show,” she continued, mentioning articles she read about fans experiencing “post-concert amnesia.”

“They were getting like, ‘joy blackouts,'” she said. “And I was like, ‘Oh, man, I think this one is different!'”

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Kassi Ashton and Travis Myatt tied the knot April 19 at The Ernest Hemingway Home in Key West, Florida, the couple revealed exclusively to People.

“We wanted a small, intimate wedding centered around us and where we met,” Kassi says. “We wanted a week with our best friends ending in a weekend with our immediate family in our favorite place on earth, where we could swim in romantic escapism and get out of our everyday routine. We wanted to put our loved ones in our world, in our head, and in our love story.”

Songwriter Barry Dean officiated the ceremony, which was limited to 45 guests.

Kassi and Travis got engaged in Key West in 2022 after five years of dating. The two met at the Key West Songwriters Festival in 2017.

Fridayy feels excluded from conversations about R&B, and he says it’s time for that to change. He shared his thoughts in a recently released trailer that seemingly announced he has a project on the way.

In an Instagram clip, a “reporter” asks him to classify what genre he falls into, noting he received a Grammy nod for rap.

“You were just nominated for a Grammy in the rap category. A lot of people obviously know you as an R&B artist, but now that you’re being recognized in the rap game, how do you view yourself as an artist?” the man asks Fridayy, who is seen responding through the passenger seat window of an SUV.

“That’s a good question,” he began. “I feel like a lot of people from the outside looking in don’t know where to place me, but my fans know I really do this singing s*** and R&B [is] one of my first true loves.”

“I be seeing a lot of these lists — no disrespect — I just be feeling like I’m left out the chat, you know what I’m saying?” he continued. “Now I think it’s time for me to enter the conversation.” 

Fridayy then rolls up the window and the car drives away as the camera pans to The Westdale movie theater in Ontario. His name and the phrase “Everybody Got Somebody,” which some believe is the name of his upcoming project, are written on the sign. 

Part 1 of the project is set to arrive on Friday.

Fridayy is up for best melodic rap performance at the 2026 Grammys for his Meek Mill-assisted “Proud of Me.”

With Oasis‘ reunion tour now concluded, the question remains whether the reformed “Wonderwall” outfit will continue to play shows in the future. Among those wondering about the future of Oasis are the members of the band themselves, including guitarist Gem Archer.

“We’ve all said that we won’t know what this was ’till next year,” Archer tells Guitar World about the prospect of more Oasis shows. “When all the wheels stop spinning, you know, there’s just so much to take on board. It really was a bit of a whirlwind.”

“Anything could happen, which could include nothing,” Archer says. “But this [tour] was quite a thing … if stuff was happening, I think I might already know about it, if you know what I mean? It’s not something you just flick on.”

Archer then offers a pearl of wisdom from Noel Gallagher that might hint at what’s coming next for Oasis.

“Noel has said, ‘No rest for the immensely talented,'” Archer says. “So take that how you want.”

Oasis launched their reunion tour in July, marking the first time the long-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have shared the live stage since 2009. 

After the tour concluded in November, Oasis released a statement reading, “There will now be a pause for a period of reflection.”

If Oasis will indeed continue touring, it won’t be until 2027, if Liam is to be believed. In a recent social media post, Liam wrote, “We’re not doing anything in 2026 sorry.”
