- Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour: The Final Show" earned five Emmy nominations: Best Variety Special (Prerecorded), Best Directing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Picture Editing for Variety Programming, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Series or Special, and Outstanding Technical Direction and Camerawork for a special.
- Glenn Weiss received the directing nomination and is double-nominated in that category for also directing the 78th Annual Tony Awards.
- Swift landed a personal nomination as producer and performer—her second Emmy nod after winning Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media in 2015 for AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience.
- The 3.5-hour, 45-song film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia and premiered Dec. 12, 2025 on Disney+, produced by Taylor Swift Productions in association with Silent House Productions.
- The film will compete with Bad Bunny's Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show and the 2026 Oscars, and Swift could also enter Oscar conversation for her song "I Knew It, I Knew You" written for Toy Story 5 (2026).
Why it matters: Swift's personal nomination marks her second Emmy nod since a 2015 interactive-media win, while the concert film enters the same categories as the Oscars ceremony and Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show—putting a streaming concert special in direct competition with the year's biggest traditional broadcast events.
