Taylor Swift Pauses Touring After Eras Tour

Taylor Swift released her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, and told BBC Radio 1 she does not plan to tour again soon because she is 'so tired' after the record‑breaking Eras Tour. The Eras Tour ran from March 2023 to December 2024, spanned 149 shows across five continents and grossed roughly $2.08–$2.2 billion, and Swift says it left her physically exhausted and often ill. She says writing the new album while on the road — which she recorded in Sweden with collaborators Max Martin and Shellback — helped her cope with the grind. Swift said she misses performing for fans but will only tour again when she can do so 'really, really well,' and that she now has time for hobbies like baking; the album contains personal material, including nods to her fiancé, Travis Kelce.
