Taylor Swift Wraps Last Leg of Eras Tour Before ‘The Tortured Poets Department’: ‘I’ve Got an Album to Release’

can’t come to The Eras Tour stage anymore.

Why? Well, her international trek is on a brief break while she readies the release of her new album.

The pop star culminated a series of six live shows at the Singapore National Stadium this weekend, commemorating the end of an Eras Tour leg with a post on Instagram on Sunday (March 10).

We got to play 6 shows in Singapore for the most wonderful crowds – just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who traveled and put so much effort into being at our shows. What an unforgettable way to end this leg of the tour!! See you in May when we get back to the Eras Tour!! In the meantime I’ve got an album to release…,” Swift wrote, signing off with a white heart and a pen emoji. She’ll come back to The Eras tour two months from now, beginning with four concerts in Paris from May 9-12.

April 19 marks the arrival of Swift’s 11th studio album, which she surprise-announced at the 2024 Grammys in February.

The star mentioned that the project has been two years in the works in a speech at the Grammy Awards, and at her Feb. 7 Japan concert she noted, “I’ve been working on Tortured Poets since right after I turned in Midnights.”

“It kind of reminded me of why songwriting is something that actually gets me through my life,” she shared at her Feb. 16 show in Melbourne. “I’ve never had an album where I needed songwriting more than I needed it on Tortured Poets.”

Besides a full track list reveal (including four bonus songs, “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter,” “The Albatross” and “The Black Dog,” scattered over four different editions of the album), two features (from Post Malone and Florence + The Machine), and monochrome album art in shades of black, white and grey, The Tortured Poets Department mostly remains a shrouded mystery.
