- Taylor Swift hosted an intimate Emmy FYC event at Los Angeles's Ross House on Wednesday supporting director Glenn Weiss and sound designer John Ross on the Disney+ special "The Eras Tour: The Final Show."
- Swift is herself nominated as a producer and performer on the film and previously won a 2015 Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media for the AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience.
- "The Eras Tour: The Final Show" earned five Emmy nominations: Best Variety Special (Prerecorded), Best Directing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Picture Editing, Outstanding Sound Mixing, and Outstanding Technical Direction.
- Glenn Weiss landed a double Best Directing nomination, also recognized for directing the 78th annual Tony Awards in the same category.
- The nearly 3.5-hour Disney+ film features 45 songs, debuted December 12, 2025, and was shot in Vancouver, BC; Swift credited Weiss's rehearsal process for preserving fan "escapism" and singled out the Steadicam operator's choreography-level footwork.
Why it matters: Taylor Swift personally showing up at an FYC event for a concert film is unusual — she's nominated as both producer and performer but is stumping for technical categories including Sound Mixing and Picture Editing. Five nominations across variety, directing, editing, sound, and technical work put a 3.5-hour Disney+ concert film in direct competition with traditional variety specials.
