An official statement from
Taylor Swift reads: “Fighting COVID-19 is an unprecedented challenge for our
global community and the safety and wellbeing of fans should always be the top
priority.
The shows cancelled include
“Lover Fest East” and “Lover Fest West” which will now happen in 2021.
“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.”
Those seeking refunds for
tickets purchased for the U.S. Lover Fest shows “will be available starting May
1, subject to Ticketmaster terms,” the statement released on Friday noted.
Taylor Swift also took to
her Twitter account to express her disappointment but noted that staying
healthy is more important.
She said: “I’m so sad I
won’t be able to see you guys in concert this year, but I know this is the
right decision. Please, please stay healthy and safe. 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.
