Will Taylor Swift Take 'The Life Of A Showgirl' On Tour? All The Clues Swifties Need To Look Out For

Pop icon Taylor Swift may have just entered her glitziest era yet, with her brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and we are here for it! After the surprise announcement of her 12th studio album, every Swiftie has gone into a frenzy, looking up everything there is to know about its release and other details. And if history is any guide, fans believe a new tour is already on the cards for the Fearless singer. Now, with clues quietly dropping, here’s everything you need to look out for regarding a potential 2026 stadium run.

Taylor Swift’s new album ushers in a brand new era, screaming retro glam

On August 12, 2025, Taylor Swift left fans pleasantly surprised with the announcement of her 12th official studio album, ushering in a sparkly new chapter. This time, the Midnights singer is ushering in a retro glam drenched in glitter, already making a pop spectacle out of it. The ‘It’ girl of pop music has officially kicked off her The Life of a Showgirl era, and now, the biggest question on every Swiftie’s mind is whether the pop icon is hitting the road again.

Well, looking at her tour pattern so far, Taylor has hit the stage soon after the release of almost every album in her career. The only exceptions have been the albums released during the COVID-19 pandemic or the Eras Tour, including Folklore, Evermore, and The Tortured Poets Department. And if the past trends are any indication, it’s more a matter of ‘when’ than ‘if’ a new tour is in the cards.

A look at Taylor Swift’s tour pattern

According to Swifties, Taylor’s tour pattern never lies. For every album in her career (except those released during the pandemic or the Eras tour), the average time between a Swift album drop and a tour announcement has been 22 days and sometimes even less than a week! Here’s a breakdown of how long it took for a tour announcement for her previous albums. 

When Taylor Swift released Fearless, fans waited the longest for a tour announcement (80 days). But with her next album, Speak Now, the wait dropped to just 29 days. For both Red and Reputation, Swifties got the good news only three days after the album release. Following the iconic 1989 drop, a tour was announced within seven days, while Lover took 25 days. Most recently, with Midnights, the announcement came just 11 days later. If she sticks to tradition, Swifties shouldn’t have to wait long for The Life of a Showgirl news.

The hints are already there?

Yes, you read that right! Swifties are already in full-on detective mode, and many have noticed that several of Taylor’s Eras Tour dancers commented on Taylor Nation’s TS12 announcement post. This has led some to wonder if the rehearsals have already begun. The August singer has also curated a Max Martin/Shellback playlist ahead of the album, hinting at big pop production soon.

If history is any guide, 2026 is the most likely year for Taylor to hit the road, if she decides to tour. Some Swifties are even wondering if the singer is going to debut her Female Rage: The Musical live segment. Going by the past trends, stadium shows in the US and UK would probably happen in spring or summer. And if the pop icon decides to follow the Eras Tour footprint, Swifties can expect multiple stops across continents.

What to expect about ticket price and presales?

While The Life of a Showgirl tour is still unconfirmed, past tours give a clear picture of what fans might expect. Looking at her Eras Tour in the US, the face-value tickets were USD 49 to USD 449 for standard seats and USD 199 to USD 899 for VIP packages. In the UK, they were somewhere between GBP 58.65 and GBP 194.75 for standard seats, GBP 110.40 for general admission standing, and GBP 172.25 for front standing. 

Looking at the presales trends, the US included Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration and Capital One Cardholder access, while UK fans benefited from O2 Priority and album preorder codes. Meanwhile, on the resale market, the average price for US tickets was around USD 3,800, with some premium seats listed above USD 30,000, whereas in the UK, prime seats were often resold for over GBP 1,000 within hours.

Compared to her past tours, most notably her 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, ticket prices have steadily increased in both countries. Resale prices, especially post-Eras Tour, can skyrocket into the thousands. So if you are meaning to attend, now is the time to start preparing for presale registration and budget.

Ticket presales: What to watch for

Over the years, the presale systems for Taylor’s tours have evolved into highly structured Verified Fan lotteries that sometimes come with boosts for album preorders. So, if The Life of a Showgirl album follows this model, Swifties need to look out for Verified Fan registration, which takes place weeks before tickets even go on sale. For those with credit cards like Capital One, there could be special presale offers, just like in the Eras Tour. Also, if you are preordering the pop icon’s album, there could be some perks. 

While Taylor hasn’t officially said she’s touring The Life of a Showgirl, do you think a 2026 summer/spring tour might be in the cards? Let us know.
