Is Taylor Swift Going On Tour For The Life Of A Showgirl?
With a new album, she could hit the road again — but probably not soon.
After going on the biggest tour of all time, most people would take a long break — but not Taylor Swift. The singer has kept busy since concluding her record-breaking Eras Tour in December, acquiring the masters of her first six albums and then announcing her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which drops on Oct. 3.
With a new album on the horizon, fans are already wondering whether Swift will go on tour for The Life of a Showgirl and revert to her pattern of touring for each of her albums, which ended in 2020 when her planned Lover Fest was canceled due to the global pandemic.
Essentially, the answer is no — for now. In an Oct. 3 interview with BBC Radio 1, Swift gave a very quick and blunt “no” when asked if she felt the itch to tour again. “No, I’m just gonna be really honest with you, I am so tired, like, when I think about doing it again,” she said. “Because I would want to do it really, really well again.”
When Will Taylor Go On Her Next Tour?
Some reports have indicated that the singer will tour at some point in the distant future. In an August blog post, Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi alleged that Swift’s next tour will “actually start in 2027 now,” with a 2026 trek looking “unlikely,” according to “an insider close to the touring world.” However, no context or reasoning was given as to why that might be the case.
There were also rumors of a Las Vegas residency after The Sun reported that Swift’s team “has been talking about Vegas gigs in private for a while,” specifying that they were “eyeing up” concerts at the Sphere. However, the venue denied the report, telling journalist Matthew Belloni, “While we love and respect Taylor Swift, we are not in conversations with her team about a residency at Sphere.”
Even if it’s not at the Sphere, Las Vegas is where showgirls were born, making it a fitting locale to perform The Life of a Showgirl, and it has one of the U.S. stadiums that haven’t been booked for the World Cup next summer. That said, there have been no hints from Swift herself that she’s Vegas-bound.
Therefore, it’s safe to save some of your concert coins for the actual album — and all the merch that’s sure to come with it.
