Taylor Swift Documentary ‘Taylor’ to Air on UK Channel 4

The U.K.’s Channel 4 will pack two decades of success into a new, two-part documentary series, tentatively titled Taylor. Directed by Guy King, the docuseries will explore Taylor Swift‘s evolution during her explosive rise to the top of pop stardom, utilizing additions from a “rare archive” and commentary from experts and fans.

“Taylor Swift is an unprecedentedly powerful 21st-century voice for women and young people,” King shared in a statement, per Deadline. “Under the microscope of social media since the earliest days of MySpace and Tumblr, she came of age during a new feminist wave. With her fame came controversy, which she so skillfully wrestled to the floor. We’re excited to tell her story.”

Taylor will be produced by Sandpaper Films, which previously helmed the feature documentaries Doom Scroll: Andrew Tate and the Dark Side of the Internet, A Deadly American Marriage, Investigating Diana, and more. Jessica Brady will lead production with Lina Caicedo as archive producer. Sandpaper Films’ Susannah Price and Henry Singer will serve as executive producers. Martin Thompson will edit the two-part release.

Rumors about the documentary series first surfaced in April 2025, weeks before Swift gained ownership of her music catalog after successfully purchasing the master recordings of her first six studio albums from Shamrock Holdings. The musician’s rapidly evolving narrative makes it difficult to capture the full expanse of her career. Five years have passed since Swift released her own documentary, Miss Americana, and everything has changed in that brief period of time.

Since 2020, Swift has released four original studio albums and four re-recordings of previously released albums. She also embarked on The Eras Tour, which ultimately became the highest-grossing tour in history.

Last year, Channel 4 aired the documentary The Rise and Rise of Taylor Swift: Untold, about how Swift’s “incredibly loyal fanbase helped carry her to the top.” A release date has not yet been set for Taylor.
