Taylor Swift revealed in a heartfelt Instagram post moments ago that she has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the postponement of tonight’s highly anticipated Eras Tour show in Chicago.
At 34, the superstar shared the news with fans alongside a teary selfie, writing, “I’ve been dodging this for four years, but it finally got me. I’m so sorry to let you down.”
Swift emphasized this cancellation is unprecedented in her 17-year career, calling the decision “devastating.” She underlined the importance of protecting her crew, dancers, and fans.
The positive test comes amid her record-breaking global tour, which has already navigated weather delays and logistical hurdles.
According to insiders, Swift began feeling “achy and exhausted” after last night’s three-hour performance but initially chalked it up to tour fatigue.
After waking up with those symptoms, a rapid test this morning confirmed the diagnosis. The news triggered immediate action: her team scrambled to reschedule the Chicago dates while implementing strict testing protocols for staff.
Fans across social media have flooded her post with supportive messages, urging her to rest and recover.
For now, ticket holders are awaiting updates on new show dates and refund policies once the tour team finalizes details.
