Taylor Swift is expanding her Eras Tour even more, adding nearly 40 more stops from Japan to the UK going into 2024. On Tuesday (June 20), the "Anti Hero" singer shared on her social media accounts that she isn't stopping the momentum of her Eras Tour. After a break in December and January, the tour will kick back up again in Tokyo, Japan, on February 7.

The 33-year-old singer-songwriter will make stops in major cities across the world, including Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, Singapore, Paris, France,  Stockholm, Sweden, Lisbon, Portugal, Madrid, Spain, Edinburgh, Scotland, Liverpool, United Kingdom, London, England, Dublin, Ireland, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Zürich, Switzerland, Milan, Italy, Hamburg and Munich, Germany, Warsaw, Poland, Vienna, Austria, and more. Her tour will finally come to an end next August in London.

"EXCUSE ME HI I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY [raised hand emoji]. I can’t wait to see so many of you on The Eras Tour next year at these new international dates!" Swift wrote as part of her announcement. For more information on ticket sales, visit TaylorSwift.com/tour.

Sabrina Carpenter will join Swift as her opening act across all dates, including the previously announced Latin American shows. Earlier this month, Swift announced she will perform in Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil from the end of August until the end of November with Carpenter. At the time, Taylor teased that "LOTS more international dates to come soon, promise!"

Eras Tour Earnings

Currently, the "Karma" singer is midway through the US dates of her Eras Tour. She kicked things off in Arizona in March and is set to wrap this leg in Los Angeles on Aug. 9. The remaining cities she has left is Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver, Seattle, Santa Clara, then finally in LA. Earlier this month, Fortune predicted that the Eras tour could potentially generate $4.6 billion for local economies throughout the US based on how much ticket holders are spending to attend each show.

Additionally, Swift is gearing up for the July 7 release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), which will include six brand-new songs from the vault. Swifties can pre-add the album here.

So, Who Will Play The Super Bowl Halftime Show In 2024?

The Super Bowl is not only the biggest event every year in the sporting world, it's also the biggest entertainment event. Even though the Halftime show is under 15 minutes, it is talked about for months in advance. And if the performance is successful, it'll be talked about for years afterward (and also be the subject of memes: we miss you, Left Shark!). Only the biggest names in music have had the honor to grace the stage: Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Aerosmith, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Who, Prince, The Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and The Weeknd.

Last year's Super Bowl LVI show took place in Inglewood, California's SoFi Stadium and featured California hip-hop legends Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg with Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. This year, we now know that Rihanna is making her return to music by headlining the show. But that doesn't mean it's too early to talk about who might take the stage for Super Bowl LVIII.  Check out our predictions below.
