Taylor Swift Cancels 2020 Shows

Taylor Swift has cancelled all of her 2020 live appearances and performances amid the worldwide pandemic.

An official statement reads: “Fighting COVID-19 is an unprecedented challenge for our global community and the safety and wellbeing of fans should always be the top priority. Health organizations and governments around the world have strongly discouraged large public gatherings for an undetermined period of time. With many events throughout the world already cancelled, and upon direction from health officials in an effort to keep fans safe and help prevent the spread of COVID-19, sadly the decision has been made to cancel all Taylor Swift live appearances and performances this year. The U.S. and Brazil shows will be rescheduled to take place in 2021, with dates to be announced later this year.”

Tickets will be honored for a new show date, the statement adds. Refunds will also be available starting May 1, subject to Ticketmaster terms. Fans can look out for an email from Ticketmaster with instructions.

“Thank you so much for understanding. We look forward to seeing you all, happy and healthy, in the future,” the statement says.
