As if she hasn’t already conquered the world many times over, Taylor Swift has once again set the internet alight with the imminent surprise release of her 12th album, The Life of a Schoolgirl. This has led to intense speculation that another world tour will follow.
In case you’ve forgotten, or have been living in a cave for the past few years, Swift completed her Eras World Tour in December 2024. That extravaganza saw her play a mammoth 149 shows to a combined total of over 10 million fans. This led to the tour grossing a record $2 billion, and one imagines any repeat attempt would likely surpass those milestones with ease.
Life of a Schoolgirl
Talk of a potential new release from the American singer-songwriter had been bubbling away for the past few days, and then on her official website, a carousel of photos was posted along with an enticing caption, reading.
“Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…”
Needless to say, this then became headline news worldwide, and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, then confirmed Taylor Swift would appear on his podcast, leading to a countdown to 00:12 ET (05:12 BST).
The title of her upcoming release has been revealed as The Life of a Schoolgirl and comes hot on the heels of her eleventh album, The Tortured Poets Department, which was released last year and went on to break the Spotify record for being the most-streamed album in a day.
With the exception of her self-titled 2006 debut, every single album Taylor Swift has released has topped the US charts. This includes her re-recordings, which began in 2021. These were the result of a 2019 dispute over her master recordings.

2026 World Tour
It is very rare for an artist to release an album and then not go on tour. This is why Swifties are now frantically searching out any information about potential dates.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour saw her play around the world for the best part of 18 months. This saw her perform across Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Any likely new tour is sure to see her play in as many territories as possible.
Remember that her Eras Tour was also a great platform for up-and-coming acts. Support artists, including Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, and Benson Boone, all made a name for themselves while on the Taylor Swift bill. You can expect more of the same from her upcoming concert dates.
Given the fact that she’ll be playing in the biggest stadiums, she’ll no doubt have to book these way in advance. This will give fans plenty of time to prepare for her arrival, and if you want to make sure you don’t miss out, you can get your Taylor Swift tickets right here via SeatPick.

Her Eras Tour saw her play to close to a million fans across her eight shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, a feat that was then followed by Coldplay and Oasis, who have also both performed to huge numbers at the iconic venue.
Her shows in the UK and the US are likely to be the most popular. In this case, it may prove more prudent to plan a trip to a smaller city in another country; that way, you can combine your love of Taylor Swift with a possible weekend holiday trip.
