Dear Swifties, you may want to sit down, sip some chamomile tea, and take a few deep breaths—because we have some emotionally devastating (but mildly hilarious) news: Taylor Swift is not going on tour in 2026. Yet. Maybe. We don’t know. But definitely not because of a charity gala auction. Let’s unpack the chaos.
So, here’s what went down: The fancy people over at the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala—an event that sounds like it requires sequins, hats, and emotional restraint—dropped a press release that casually mentioned “a signed guitar by Taylor Swift and two concert tickets during her upcoming 2026 tour.”
Cue every Swiftie on the planet spiraling into a glitter-covered frenzy, screaming, “SHE’S COMING BACK! SHE’S IN HER TOUR ERA AGAIN!”
But alas… no. This was not Taylor dropping hints in a cryptic scavenger hunt à la “Red” re-release. This was just an innocent charity getting ahead of itself and unintentionally starting World War Swift.
The Real Tea, Spilled By Charity Co-Founder Tammy
In comes Tammy York Day, co-founder of the gala and now honorary heartbreak ambassador, to put out the emotional dumpster fire with a polite press statement that basically said, “Oopsie.”
“In the most recent Unbridled Eve press release, it inadvertently listed one of our auction items as a ‘Signed guitar by Taylor Swift and two concert tickets during her upcoming 2026 tour.’”
Translation: “We accidentally launched a full-blown Swiftie panic.”
“Our deepest apologies for getting the Swiftie Nation excited,” Tammy added, probably while bracing for impact from friendship bracelet-laced emails.
She clarified that the item should’ve said: “Guitar signed by Taylor Swift and two tickets for a concert during her next tour.” No year. No tea. No shade. No scoop.
And just to be extra clear, Tammy emphasized: “We have no knowledge whatsoever of when that tour will be.” Not even a whisper from Taylor’s cats. Nada.
Where’s Taylor Now?
Taylor wrapped up her Eras Tour in December 2024 and has been laying low, probably drinking wine, writing breakup songs in lowercase, and occasionally making Travis Kelce blush. So unless she makes a surprise announcement via Morse code in the next Folklore-themed cardigan drop, don’t expect official tour news just yet.
Until then, maybe bid on that guitar if you’ve got some spare change and a dream. But those 2026 tour tickets? Pure fantasy. Like a Taylor/Drake collab or Kanye saying something nice.
