Taylor Swift, one of the most influential artists of the 21st century, continues to redefine her legacy through groundbreaking projects, and record-breaking tours. Swift is gearing up for more milestones in 2025 and possibly a new tour in 2026. Yes, Taylor Swift is on fire—and she’s not stopping anytime soon. After redefining the music industry with her Eras Tour and releasing her deeply personal album The Tortured Poets Department, Swift is gearing up for more milestones and possibly a Taylor Swift 2026 Tour.
Potential Taylor Swift 2026 Tour
The Eras Tour (2023–2024), grossing over $1 billion, concluded in December 2024. A source close to the singer told Us Weekly: “She had such a great experience on Eras. She really wants to do it again. She loves being with all her fans; it inspires her“. The same source noted that Swift’s decision hinges on her personal life, particularly her relationship with Travis Kelce: “Things can change. A lot of it hinges on what happens over the next year with Travis. She’s told her team to give her one year to see how things go”. Industry experts predict a 2026 start date, allowing Swift time to finalize her new album and assess logistical demands.
Upcoming Album: Reputation (Taylor’s Version), Debut (Taylor’s Version) and TS12
Swift’s mission to reclaim her early catalog through re-recorded albums, dubbed Taylor’s Version, is nearing completion. Only two albums remain: Reputation (Taylor’s Version) and Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) (her debut). Industry analysts and fans anticipate both releases in 2025, following Swift’s pattern of dropping two re-recordings annually.
- Reputation (Taylor’s Version)
The re-recording of Reputation (2017) is expected to debut in early 2025, accompanied by unreleased songs that further contextualize the album’s narrative. Fans have already heard snippets of “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” in recent TV show trailers, heightening anticipation. - Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version)
Swift’s 2006 debut album, a country-centric coming-of-age diary, will conclude the Taylor’s Version series. While details remain scarce, insiders suggest the re-recording will include long-rumored tracks like “I Heart ?,” a song cut from the original track-list. - TS12
Swift’s 12th studio album (TS12) remains shrouded in mystery, but multiple sources indicate she is actively working on new material. A Daily Mail insider revealed, “Taylor is working on a new record which is due out in 2025 followed by a new tour in 2026“. While Swift has not confirmed TS12 publicly, her partner Travis Kelce hinted at its existence during a 2024 interview: “There might be a few [songs]. I don’t know. There might be a few“. Fan theories speculate the album’s aesthetic involves orange and purple motifs, though Swift’s team has not verified these claims.
