Watch The Rise And Rise of Taylor Swift: UNTOLD: Preview

Taylor Swift's Era's Tour is about to return to the UK – after a stint in mainland Europe – for five shows at Wembley Stadium in London. That's before the megastar takes her tour back to North America for its final Canadian dates at the end of the year. To mark her impending arrival in the British Isles earlier in the year, Channel 4 aired its documentary, looking into the success of Taylor Swift, the latest in its UNTOLD series. And it is set to air the special once again, though you can watch The Rise and Rise of Taylor Swift: UNTOLD right now, available to stream for free on Channel 4's on-demand service.

Whether you're still experiencing post-Eras Tour blues, are gearing up to bare witness to our lord and savior Taylor Swift, or didn't manage to snag tickets, the one-off half an hour documentary could prove a balm for Swifties who just can't get enough of Miss Americana. And we explain exactly how to watch The Rise and Rise of Taylor Swift: UNTOLD from anywhere and for free with our guide.

Narrated by self-confessed Swiftie and Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough, Channel 4 speaks to professors of both Marketing and Neurology, as well as, of course, the biggest, most passionate fans.

Delving into both the most joyful and darkest parts of the fandom, The Rise and Rise of Taylor Swift: UNTOLD doesn't play it safe, delving into questions over her use of private jets, as well as her empire of merchandise and the ever controversial talking point of releasing different variants to increase album sales.

The documentary also highlights Taylor Swift's relationship with her fanbase, forming unique connections through her secret listening sessions and, in a number of instances, helping fans who were financially in need.
