Maybe the 149 Eras Tour shows in 51 cities across a year and a half were enough for now. In a new interview with BBC Radio 1 following the release of The Life of a Showgirl on Friday, Taylor Swift said she plans to take a break from touring for a bit.
When asked by the host if she had the “itch” to be on the road again, Swift’s response was… swift. “No,” she said. “I’m gonna be really honest with you. Like, I am so tired, when I think about doing it again,” Swift explained. “Because I would want to do it really, really well again.”
During the interview, Swift shared that she was feeling happy with life right now, joking that her “joints are good” and that she finally has time for hobbies.
“I could only do the Eras Tour when I was on the Eras Tour and that’s two years of having no other hobbies. And now I have the hobbies again…and making it everybody’s problem,” she said, joking about making the host a loaf of sourdough bread.
Swift also reflected on how big her Eras Tour had become and the impact she felt from bringing it to the world. “For me, it feels like such an honor that the fans made it into what it was, because it was truly astonishing for all of us who were on that tour,” Swift said. “We were like, what is going on? It turned into something very quickly that we, that exceeded any of our expectations for what the tour could have been.”
Swift wrapped her Eras Tour last December in Vancouver after playing 149 shows since March 2023, dropping The Tortured Poets Department in the process. On Friday, the singer released her album The Life of a Showgirl, inspired by the behind-the-scenes post-Eras show moments.
