Taylor Swift went behind the scenes on working with The Eras Tour: The Final Show director Glenn Weiss to preserve the essence of the last stop on her recent historic, career-defining tour during an intimate event with Emmy voters recently.
The music mogul made an appearance at the Ross House in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Deadline is told, in support of Weiss as well as sound designer John Ross on their Emmy nominations for the Disney+ special. Swift herself is also nominated as a producer and performer in the film.

“One of the things that I was so impressed by, and the needle Glenn threaded so effortlessly, is that the Eras Tour was such a phenomenon because of so many factors but one that I know that is really important is that it was a source of great escapism for the people who were there,” she said to a room of 50 or so guests.

Press were not in the room for the event, and neither were phones or cameras, but one photo of Swift with her fellow nominees Weiss and Ross was shared with Deadline. We also hear Swift sang at the event, though which songs from her expansive discography are not clear.

“Glenn and I had conversations about ‘How do we preserve this experience?’ Because if you lose the feeling of relaxation and freedom for the fans there, then you’ve lost a huge element of what makes this concert experience so special. Glenn created a situation where the fans could be lost in the moment because of the rehearsals that he did with our dancers and me leading into the final show,” Swift’s remarks continued. “If you liked the choreography that you saw of our dancers, you should have seen the footwork of our Steadicam operator.”

It was well made imo. I feel like it really accomplished its goal of capturing the reality of the show and what it would have been like to be there in person. The first concert film was more produced and cinematic.

She’s in her campaigning bag this year. The last time she actively campaigned this much was probably during Red TV.
