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.
