Taylor Swift disappointed fans hoping for a 2025 tour to support her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl.
In a candid BBC Radio interview, the 14-time Grammy winner explained, “I’m so tired. Another tour feels overwhelming.” After the gruelling two-year Eras Tour, Swift prioritises rest. She added, “My joints are good. I’m baking, I have hobbies again!” The intense tour left little room for personal joys, she noted.
Swift emphasised quality. “I’d want to do it really well again,” she said, reflecting on the Eras Tour’s demands. For now, she savours a slower pace, focusing on her personal life and the album’s release on October 3, 2025. Consequently, Swifties must wait for live performances.
“No no I am going to be honest with you, I am SO TIRED… I’d only wanna do it again if I can do it as well again.” – Taylor to Greg James that she won’t be touring anytime soon. #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl pic.twitter.com/mY5DGQVEbC

Swift chose the New Heights podcast, hosted by her fiancé, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, to announce The Life of a Showgirl. She explained, “I love surprising people with album reveals.” Award show announcements felt predictable, so she opted for a football podcast. “It’s the polarity of masculine and feminine,” she said, highlighting the creative twist.
