Taylor Swift admits that she tested positive
Show Postponed
Taylor Swift announced on Instagram that she tested positive for COVID-19,
forcing her to postpone tonight’s Eras Tour stop in Chicago.
Sharing a teary selfie, she wrote,
“I’ve been dodging this for four years, but it finally got me.
I’m so sorry to let you down.”
It’s the first illness-related cancellation of her 17-year career.
Health First
Swift called the decision “devastating,”
but said protecting fans and her team mattered most.
She initially thought her fatigue came from tour exhaustion after a three-hour show.
Tour Response
Her team quickly rescheduled the Chicago dates,
added strict testing, and offered refunds.
The new shows are tentatively set for late August.
Fan and Industry Support
Fans flooded social media with support, while fellow artists reached out privately.
Swift promised to return strong, pledging “double the pyro and triple the surprises.”
