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, if not the most, in-demand artists in the world - arguably of all time. Her recent 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," had the biggest album opening ever, according to Billboard. 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’s not slowing down on content-making or record-breaking.

The pop sensation is bringing fans another concert film, “The Eras Tour: The Final Show,” that includes a set with her “Tortured Poets Department” songs, which she released while on tour. She’s also releasing a documentary series, titled “The End of an Era,” which promises a peek behind the curtain of the behemoth tour. The first two episodes of the docuseries and the concert film debuted on Disney+ on Friday.

While many fans are celebrating the new material, it comes after a heavy rain of 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.

But regardless of whether the discourse surrounding Swift is positive or negative, there’s no shortage of interest, and she’s matching that interest by ensuring there’s no shortage of content. In the docuseries’ trailer, Swift says she “wanted to overserve the fans.”
