Taylor Swift's recent announcement of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, has fans buzzing with excitement - and naturally, one question is on everyone's mind: Will there be a tour?

If history is any guide, and if a Swiftie's (die-hard Taylor Swift fans) research skills are to be believed, the answer is a yes.

Taylor has built a legacy of chart-topping albums, as well as blockbuster tours. Every major album release - from Fearless to 1989, Reputation, Red, and beyond - has been accompanied by a world tour, delighting millions of fans globally. This consistent album-tour cycle has become a hallmark of her career, turning every new era into a massive live experience.

The only major disruption to this pattern came with the Lover album, released in 2019. The Lover tour was planned but never happened due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which forced cancellations and postponements worldwide. Instead of touring, Taylor pivoted creatively, releasing Folklore and Evermore - two surprise albums recorded during quarantine.

While no official word on a tour has emerged yet, the pattern is clear: a Taylor Swift album almost always heralds a tour - and with her previous tour, the Eras Tour, wrapping up in December 2024, the timing could be ideal for a new global spectacle.

So, fans, or as they say, Swifties, can stay hopeful that a tour announcement is on the horizon. The iconic singer's history of pairing album launches with tours, coupled with the excitement surrounding this new era, strongly suggests that The Life of a Showgirl will soon light up arenas and stadiums worldwide.

Until then, fans can pre pre-order the album, soak in the vivid teasers, and get ready for what promises to be another unforgettable chapter in Taylor's musical journey.

What does pre pre-order mean? It's like opening a mysterious box. You can pre-order the album but you have no idea when its coming out or what the album cover looks like. The product description reads:“Depiction of this product is a blurred digital rendering for pre pre-order purposes only."
