Taylor Swift's 20-Year Career To Be Explored In New Channel 4 Series
A new two-part documentary series centred around global music icon Taylor Swift has been officially announced by Channel 4. Titled Taylor (working title), the project promises to offer a closer look into the pop sensation's two-decade-long career and her rise to cultural prominence.
The series aims to unpack the complexities of Swift's transformation from a teenage country singer to one of the most influential and highest-grossing artists of all time. Channel 4 confirmed the project following months of speculation, calling Swift a 'global phenomenon" and promising a fresh take through rare archival material, commentary from insiders, and perspectives from fans and experts alike.
'Taylor Swift is an unprecedentedly powerful 21st century voice for women and young people," said director Guy King. '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 skilfully wrestled to the floor. We're excited to tell her story."
The documentary, produced by Sandpaper Films (known for A Deadly American Marriage), is being helmed by King, whose past credits include The Fall and Bombing Brighton. Jessica Brady serves as the producer, with Lina Caicedo on board as archive producer. Executive producers include Susannah Price and Henry Singer, while BAFTA-winning editor Martin Thompson is leading post-production. Blue Ant International will handle global sales.
Channel 4's exploration of Swift's journey comes in the wake of her record-breaking Eras Tour and the critical success of her Netflix documentary Miss Americana. With over 20 years in the music industry, Swift has earned widespread acclaim and become the first billionaire whose fortune is primarily built on music.
The series will examine not only the highs and lows of her public life but also the loyal fanbase she's cultivated and the broader impact she's had on the music industry and popular culture.

Ibrahim Ali Khan Spotted Playing And Posing With Little Kid At Sarzameen Screening
Last Updated: Sarzameen also starring Kajol and Prithviraj has released today on the OTT platform. Ibrahim Ali Khan has once again melted hearts after a video of him playing with a little fan went viral. He was seen attending the screening of his second film Sarzameen when the little boy came for a photo. Kajol and Prithviraj are also seen in the main lead roles in the film. In the video, shared by Instant Bollywood, we can see Ibrahim Ali Khan happily playing and posing with a little child. He is also making him pose during the screening of Sarzameen. The film has released today on the oTT platform. It has received mixed reviews. Watch the video here: Sara Ali Khan, was also spotted, turned into the ultimate cheerleader for her brother. The sibling duo was all smiles as they posed for the paparazzi. Sara radiated grace and happiness, while Ibrahim looked suave in a smart black ensemble. The two posed side by side. Taking to social media, the Zara Hatke Zara Bachke actress shared a photo, writing, 'So proud'. Kayoze Irani's Sarzameen tries to tackle a lot – fatherhood, patriotism, trauma and radicalisation – all through the lens of a military family caught in personal and political conflict. But while the film has flashes of intensity, it loses direction quickly, never fully landing its emotional or narrative arcs. The story follows Major Vijay Menon (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a strict army man posted in Kashmir. He comes from a military background and carries the emotional baggage of being raised by a cold, demanding father. Without realising it, he passes that same pressure onto his own son, Harman (Ibrahim Ali Khan), who has a speech disorder and a deep sense of inadequacy. Caught in the middle is Meher (Kajol), a mother who understands her son's silence better than her husband's principles. Ibrahim Ali Khan is better than he was in Nadaaniyan, but he's still rough around the edges. There are scenes where he gets it right – especially in the action bits and shots when he leans into that quiet, brooding vibe that don't ask for much. He shows a bit of vulnerability too, and that helps. First Published: July 25, 2025, 14:10 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
