New album. New era. New tour?

The next question for Taylor Swift fans is will she be hitting the road and bringing "The Life of a Showgirl" to a stadium stage?

With the exception of "Folklore" and "Evermore" (which came out as surprises during the COVID-19 pandemic) and "The Tortured Poets Department" (which came out while she was halfway through the Eras Tour), there has always been a tour or concerts associated with her albums.

Even "Lover" was supposed to have "Loverfest" before the world shut down. And she was performing at venues during her first, self-titled era.

May 9, 2024: Taylor Swift performs on stage at the Paris La Defense Arena as part of her The Eras Tour, in Nanterre, north-western France, on May 9, 2024.

Taylor Swift announces new album: What to know about 'The Life of a Showgirl'

While nothing has been confirmed by Swift or her team, here is a list of when her albums were released and concerts were announcement:

Fearless (80 days):Album released Nov. 11, 2008, and tour announced Jan. 30, 2009
Speak Now (29 days):Album released on Oct. 25, 2010, and tour announced on Nov. 23, 2010

Lover (25 days):Album released on Aug. 23, 2019, and tour announced on Sept. 17, 2019
Midnights (11 days):Album released on Oct. 21, 2022, and tour announced on Nov. 1, 2022

The average time between an album release and a tour announcement is 22 days. Questions for Swifties to ponder include: Would she incorporate one of her most recent trademarks, "Female Rage: The Musical," which includes a section on live music? Would she do a shorter stint like Beyoncé did with "Cowboy Carter," bringing the excitement to nine cities? Would she do a residency like the Backstreet Boys are doing at the Las Vegas Sphere?
