Debuted on December 12, the Don Argott-directed six-episode docuseries provided a close-up of Swift's journey when she embarked on her record-breaking Eras Tour. It also went back to the very start, with the singer sharing how she came up with the idea for the concert tour amid the COVID-19 pandemic and after the sale of her masters."I just thought to myself, 'What if I did a tour that celebrated all of these different moments in my life and career where you have chapters divided up by albums and everything changes when the chapter changes?'" she shared.
Swift continued, "I wanted to overserve the fans. That was my main goal. I wanted to overserve them in terms of the amount of songs they were going to hear, the length of the show, what kinds of production they were going to see, different styles of dance, different worlds of dance, wardrobe, how far I was going to push myself.""The Fate of Ophelia" songstress ultimately kicked it off in Glendale, Ariz., in March 2023.

Swift's friend Emma Stone recommended choreographer Mandy Moore, not to be confused with actress Mandy Moore, to work with her Eras Tour team. The professional dancer collaborated with Stone on the 2016 film La La Land."With choreography, I asked one of my friends, Emma Stone, who's done a lot of work in dance in her films, 'Who have you worked with that you would recommend for this?'" she disclosed in the docuseries. "And she's like, 'There's only one person that needs to be on your list and it's Mandy Moore.'"Reflecting on how the dance instructor works with her, she revealed, "Mandy knows how to approach teaching me choreography from a lyrical perspective. I don't do eight counts. I learn based on what syllable of the lyric I'm attaching a movement to. And I can't really learn any other way. I've tried."
