I’ll see you on stage as soon as I can but right now what’s important is committing to this quarantine, for the sake of all of us,” Taylor Swift writes on her Twitter handle.
Read the official statement below:
“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 canceled, 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 held for each of those shows will transfer to a new show date without action on the part of the ticket holder.
“For those who require refunds for tickets purchased for the US lover feast shows, they will be available starting May 1st subject to Ticketmaster’s terms. Watch out for an email from Ticketmaster with instructions on how to request one. For current information on all other performance dates, please visit Taylorswift.com.
