In a heartfelt Instagram post just moments ago, Taylor Swift revealed that she has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing her to postpone tonight’s highly anticipated Eras Tour show in Chicago. The 34-year-old 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, who has never canceled a show due to illness in her 17-year career, called the decision “devastating” but emphasized the need to protect her crew, dancers, and fans.
The positive test comes amid Swift’s record-breaking global tour, which has already faced weather delays and logistical hurdles. Insiders say she began feeling “achy and exhausted” after last night’s three-hour performance but initially chalked it up to tour fatigue. When a rapid test confirmed the diagnosis this morning, her team scrambled to reschedule the Chicago dates while implementing strict testing protocols for staff.
