Featuring six episodes, the documentary takes fans behind the scenes of Taylor’s hugely successful Eras Tour. In its series finale, the musician looks back on her recent accomplishments and sheds light on her next move.
At the end of the episode, a title card appears on screen, stating: “On December 8, 2024, after 149 shows in 21 countries around the world, The Eras Tour had its final curtain call.”
It continues: “On May 30, 2025, Taylor purchased all of her previous work, thanking her fans for their support in making it possible.” A third caption states: “On August 26, 2025, Travis and Taylor announced their engagement.”
The final statement then reveals: “On October 3, 2025 Taylor released her 12th studio album ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ the biggest album of her career… to date.” Swifties have latched onto the phrase “to date” as confirmation that the Cruel Summer singer already has her 13th record in the pipeline.
AN Avengers star left fans stunned when he was spotted riding a Lime bike around London in a full suit – would you have noticed him?

Realising it was Tom Hiddleston, they wrote: “Didn’t expect to see this today.”
And, referencing Tom’s Avengers character, they added: “Loki on a Lime.”
Commenting on the spot, one user said: “Riding a bicycle in a suit is such a vibe.”
Someone else wrote: “You’re telling me I could casually bump into Tom Hiddleston in London?”
She joined longtime pal Miquita Oliver on her Miss Me? podcast, clearing up the speculation – revealing even family members had believed it, sending her upsetting messages in the process after “not being invited”.
She told Miquita: “We’ve been engaged for a long time.
“There are … I think there have been publications that have named us husband and wife already.
“Those text messages were very … there’s some toxic paragraphs that were thrown my way!
“Like ‘uh, okay, no invite? Whatever.” It’s like, no, no, no. It didn’t happen! We didn’t do it in secret. We haven’t eloped.”

The first full deployment of the U.S. Army’s new Sentinel A4 air defense radar will be in the area around Washington, D.C., also known as the National Capital Region (NCR). The A4 variant offers a significant boost in capability over preceding versions, especially for spotting and tracking lower and/or slower flying targets like cruise missiles and drones.
An Army officer discussed the capabilities of and plans for the road-mobile Sentinel A4, the formal designation of which is AN/MPQ-64A4, with Secretary Pete Hegseth during a show-and-tell at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, this past weekend. Members of the media were also present. Hegseth conducted several engagements in the Huntsville area during his trip, which was primarily centered on a ceremony marking the designation of the arsenal as the new headquarters for U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM).

“The plan is to be in full-rate production [of the Sentinel A4] at the end of FY 26 [Fiscal Year 2026], sir, and our first fielding will be actually in the National Capital Region,” the Army officer told Hegseth, as can be heard in the video below. “In January, we’re sending a Sentinel A4 to the National Capital Region to start that immigration process earlier, so that when it is fielded late next year, we’re ready to go.”

The officer noted that the Army already has a Sentinel A4 radar in South Korea, representing an early operational capability. The deployment to the Korean Peninsula has already been providing valuable feedback for the planned full fielding of the sensor in the NCR next year. You can read more about what is known about the air defense network already in place in the NCR, which includes National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) and Avenger air defense systems, as well as a wide array of sensors, in previousTWZreporting. Existing variants of Sentinel are already regularly used in combination with NASAMS and Avenger.
In terms of the Sentinel A4’s capabilities, “what this radar does is provide 360-degree air surveillance, day or night, [in] adverse weather conditions and the most harsh environments, … [to] identify, track and classify cruise missiles, rotary-wing [aircraft], fixed-wing [aircraft], [and] UAS [uncrewed aerial systems],” the officer explained to Hegseth. It also has the ability to spot and track incoming artillery rockets, shells, and mortar rounds.
Sentinel A4: Bringing Next-Gen Radar Capability to the U.S. Army and Allies
The officer said that many of its more specific capabilities are classified. They did say that it offers a 75 percent increase in detection range over the previous AN/MPQ-64A3, and the ability to track many more targets simultaneously. Much of this is a product of the new active electronically scanned array (AESA) found on the Sentinel A4. As a general rule, AESA radars offer improvements in terms of range, fidelity of tracks, resistance to countermeasures, and overall situational awareness compared to mechanically-scanned types. Depending on how the array itself is configured, AESAs can also perform a much wider array of functions at once.

The Sentinel A4 “does have growth potential,” the Army officer highlighted to Secretary Hegseth during the event. “The current array that you see here is 60 percent populated, but we do have the ability to increase how much is in the array, which allows us to meet future threats.”
That the Sentinel A4’s true operational debut is set to be in the NCR is unsurprising, given the extreme importance of defending the skies over and around Washington, D.C. This is already by far the most heavily monitored and densely defended airspace in the United States.
At the same time, the U.S. military, as a whole, has made no secret of its growing concerns about drone and cruise missile threats, which are very much reflected in the new capabilities found on the new A4 variant of Sentinel.
It’s also worth noting that the NCR has seen a number of false alarm air defense scares over the years. Increased detection capability and general improved situational awareness could help with preventing, though not eliminating, such incidents in the future.
All this being said, the aerial threat ecosystem extends beyond the NCR, and the new capabilities offered by the Sentinel A4 radar will be relevant to Army operations globally. The service has plans to significantly expand its overall air defense force structure in the coming years.
It is possible that plans to send the Sentinel A4s to the NCR, specifically, also presage the deployment of other new air defense capabilities to the area. Sentinel radars are a primary sensor for the Army’s new middle-tier Enduring Shield air defense system, which currently uses the AIM-9X Sidewinder as its interceptor. The service is pushing to acquire a second interceptor option for Enduring Shield, primarily to offer increased capability against faster-flying cruise missiles. Overall, the system is analogous to NASAMS in many ways and would be well-suited to the NCR air defense mission.

The Army currently has two Enduring Shield platoons, one in South Korea and one at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State. The service is hoping to have a battalion’s worth of the systems by Fiscal Year 2027.
In general, the Army sees Enduring Shield as particularly important to reducing the immense strain on its highly in-demand Patriot surface-to-air missile systems. The service has said that Enduring Shield and Patriot could even be fielded together in composite units in the future. TWZ has been calling attention to the worrisome inadequacy of the Army’s Patriot force to meet current operational needs, let alone the requirements of any future high-end figure, for years now.
If nothing else, Army air defenders protecting the skies over and around Washington, D.C., are set to get an important boost in their ability to spot and track threats, especially cruise missiles and drones, in the coming year.
Saying the unedited video of a September 2 strike on a boat in the Caribbean is “top secret,” US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters that its viewing will be restricted to select lawmakers, not the general public.

On the timescale of Tanner’s return, Barry-Murphy added: “He’ll obviously tell you he’s available much sooner, which is great because he feels so good and he’s looking so good.
“But I just think with the amount of time he’s been out for would mean that we just have to be mindful of building him back up to a healthy level of fitness before we expose him to the games he’s going to have to play.”
Meanwhile, centre-back Gabriel Osho is around two weeks away from a return following an injury to his big toe.
The 27-year-old sustained the injury during last week’s 5-1 EFL Trophy defeat at home by AFC Wimbledon.
“Gabriel Osho is back in partial training, so really good news on his toe injury, where there’s no fracture and we can build him back up pretty quickly,” said Barry-Murphy.
“I would say if today [training on Thursday] goes reasonably well, then I’d say he could be back within maybe two weeks. But I’m not certain, just because initially we thought there might be a fracture to his toe, and then it was looking as if it was going to be slightly longer term.
“The good news means there is no fracture. So if he starts to come through day by day, then that two-week period could be realistic.”
