Industry observers and Swift enthusiasts provide insights into potential future touring plans. Ari Perez, an associate professor at Quinnipiac University, told Newsweek that Swift typically follows a two-year cycle, which could potentially point to a new studio album (referred to as TS12) in 2026, with a corresponding tour in late 2026 or 2027.

Marie Goldstein Levitsky, co-founder of Fandom Daily, echoes this sentiment, noting to Newsweek, "Even throughout this extraordinary journey, she's expressed how deeply rewarding it is to connect with fans through live music. While I believe she's earned a much-needed and well-deserved break, I have no doubt that her love for performing will bring her back to the stage, perhaps in just a year or two."

Swift is reportedly eyeing another major tour for 2026, according to an exclusive Us Weekly source. The Grammy-winning artist is said to be contemplating this new concert venture after completing an as-yet-unannounced album.
"She had such a great experience on Eras. She really wants to do it again," an insider told the publication. The source added, "She loves being with all her fans; it inspires her." Vixy13 / Wikimedia
Adding to the speculation, Swift's recent Eras Tour book concluded with a tantalizing note to fans, simply stating "See you next Era," which has prompted further theories about potential future projects. Paolo Villanueva / Wikimedia
