I've not even had a chance to watch episodes 3 and 4 of Taylor Swift: The End of an Era on Disney+ yet, but the Queen of Easter eggs has given us a wonderful gift, because episodes 5 and 6 are officially dropping early.

Swift revealed the news on her social channels, and fans are convinced that the surprise release date change is for one of two reasons. Either Disney doesn't want to compete with Netflix's release of Stranger Things season 5 volume 2 when it arrives on December 25/26, or the singer has a surprise in store.

What time can I watch Taylor Swift: The End of an Era episodes 5 and 6 on Disney+?

Watch On

Just like the previous two-episode drops, episodes 5 and 6 of Taylor Swift: The End of an Era will arrive simultaneously on Tuesday, December 23 at 12am PT/3am ET. That's three days earlier than the originally proposed schedule of December 26.

For the rest of the world, you'll need to tune in at these times:

  • US – 12am PT / 3am ET
  • Canada – 12am PT / 3am ET
  • UK – 8am GMT
  • India – 12:30pm IST
  • Singapore – 3pm SGT
  • Australia – 6pm AEST
  • New Zealand – 8pm NZDT

When do new episodes of Taylor Swift: The End of an Era come out?

I'm not sure if the release schedule for The End of an Era is brilliant (because we get multiple episodes in one go) or terrible (because our FOMO returns as quickly as it came), but the docuseries is releasing two episodes per week during its six-episode run.

Obviously, we're now getting the final installment even earlier than we thought we would. In short: that means there won't be any more chapters to enjoy after episodes 5 and 6 launch on December 23. Sad faces all around.

Still, if you want more Swift-based action, don't forget that the new cut of the Eras Tour movie, featuring 'The Tortured Poets Department' era, is also available on Disney+, aka one of the world's best streaming services.

To subscribe to Disney+ and Hulu's ad-supported plans separately would normally cost just under $22 dollars a month for a bundle, but you can get them both for $12.99 a month, representing a saving of 40% on separate annual plans. Sadly, you'll have to watch commercials on both streaming services, but with a saving of over $100 on offer compared to if you bought both services separately, we suspect you'll think it's a price worth paying. This is the usual bundle saving, to be clear.
