Taylor Swift has canceled all her pending tour dates due to the ‘unprecedented pandemic’. The star has planned a small series of shows for the past summer in support of her 2019 album Lover; they were all postponed in April last year due to the pandemic.
Swift made the announcement on social media Friday night. “I would love to come here to tell you good news, or to share a new project with you,” she wrote. “It’s not my favorite thing in the world to have to tell news I’m sad about.”
Swift’s 2020 shows included her massive love parties that would take place in Los Angeles and Foxborough, MA. Other performances included international festival dates in Belgium, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Poland, France, Portugal and Brazil. Since there were never new dates for Lover Fest, ticket holders have had the option to cancel their tickets and get back in the meantime since April.
“This is an unprecedented pandemic that has changed everyone’s plans and no one knows what the tourism environment will look like in the near future,” she continued. ‘I’m so disappointed I could not see you in person once I wanted to. I miss you terribly and can not wait until we can all be safe together again. ‘

Since the release Lover, Swift has released two albums featuring new material, Folklore and Always. This April she releases Fearless (Taylor’s version), a fully recorded version of her Grammy-winning second-year LP. She will re-record all six of the albums she has released with her old label Big Machine, following a dispute over ownership of her masters. She has not yet announced when the other five albums will be available.
