Is Taylor Swift going on tour in the UK?

We now know for a fact that Taylor is going on tour in the UK – but the dates and name of the upcoming string of shows are yet to be confirmed.

With the release of her tenth studio album, fans think that another announcement regarding the UK tour dates is imminent.

Also, a statement was posted on the singer's official UK site, with the exciting news causing the page to crash!

It read: "Pre-order the new Taylor Swift album ‘Midnights’ on any format from the official UK store to get special presale code access for forthcoming and yet to be announced Taylor Swift UK show dates."

The page read: "If you have already pre-ordered via this store you are automatically eligible to receive a code for access to the pre-sale and do not need to order again."

Swfities theorise that the UK concerts could still be some time away as the website promises to warn fans in advance.

"Pre-sale details & further information will be confirmed at a later date and will be communicated with you officially and via the email you supply at checkout, so you have plenty of warning ahead of the pre-sale launch."

Will Taylor Swift go on tour in 2023?

Rumours of a stadium world tour from Swift first took Twitter by storm in October, with tweets gaining traction that alluded to an imminent announcement coming from Taylor herself – intriguing.

Theories that tickets would go on sale in November began to whirr, of course, 'Midnights' comes out October 21, which makes the following month the perfect time to for a tour sale..

In June, a reporter took to Twitter to first share the theory that Taylor Swift could be going on tour as soon as 2023!

Megan Willgoos posted a tweet on June 8 claiming that "@taylorswift13 is allegedly rescheduling her tour for next year!!!".

The reporter shared a screenshot of a message that claimed that Taylor's rumoured tour had interfered with a previous event scheduled for Atlanta Football Stadium.

From the messages, Megan deduced that the pop star must be rescheduling her previously cancelled tour dates, she wrote: "Of course I need to break the most important news."

Swifties were, of course, excited by the theory, however many users were quick to challenge the rumour in the comments.

Multiple sources went on to tell PageSix that Taylor is plotting a massive stadium tour for the summer of 2023.

One insider said: "Taylor has some really ambitious plans in place. She’s excited to get back on the road after such a long but fruitful break.”

At least we finally now know it's happening!

Will Taylor take 'Midnights' on tour?

When the singer-songwriter made her surprise 'Midnights' announcement back in August, further weight was added to the touring rumours – now the star has even more reason to take her songs on the road!

Fans theorise that Swift could be preparing for her largest-budget tour to date that celebrates her last four albums – and that's not even including her re-records

A viral tweet read: "Taylor Swift is ready to announce a 2023 combined world tour for her albums 'Lover, folklore, evermore and Midnights'."

Will Taylor Swift headline Glastonbury 2023?

In 2020, Taylor was set to headline Glastonbury before the festival was axed due to the emergence of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown.

The iconic British festival made a return after three years in 2022 and even featured two headline acts from its original line-up, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar. However, Taylor did not partake in the rescheduled event.

This has led Swifties to question whether the 'Love Story' songwriter will finally fill her Glastonbury slot in 2023. It's rumoured that if Taylor begins to perform next summer, then she's likely to play the UK's biggest festival!

What happened to Taylor Swift's Lover tour? When was Taylor last on tour?

Taylor Swift was last on the road in 2018 when she completed a whopping 53 shows for Reputation World Tour, which accumulated an eye-watering £278 million.

The 'All Too Well' songstress was set to embark on Lover Fest in 2020 to coincide with the release of her seventh studio album, however, it was subsequently axed due to COVID-19.

She announced the festival-themed tour in late-2019, she wrote: "The Lover album is open fields, sunsets, + SUMMER. I want to perform it in a way that feels authentic. I want to go to some places I haven’t been and play festivals. Where we didn’t have festivals, we made some."

Since her 'Lover' era, the 32-year-old has been very busy having released 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' in 2020 as well re-recordings 'Fearless (Taylor's Version)' and 'Red (Taylor's Version)' the following year.

Therefore it's likely that if the musician announces another tour, it will be to celebrate her last five projects since she was last performing – what a setlist that would be!
