Taylor Swift announced on Instagram that she tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the postponement of her *Eras Tour* show in Chicago. Sharing a teary selfie, she wrote, “I’ve been dodging this for four years, but it finally got me. I’m so sorry to let you down.”
At 34, Swift called the decision “devastating,” noting it was the first cancellation in her 17-year career. She said protecting her crew, dancers, and fans was her top priority.
The positive test came during her record-breaking tour, which has already faced weather delays and logistical issues. Insiders say she felt “achy and exhausted” after last night’s three-hour performance, initially blaming tour fatigue.
A rapid test confirmed COVID-19 this morning, prompting her team to quickly reschedule the Chicago dates and introduce stricter testing for staff.
Fans have flooded her social media with messages of support, wishing her rest and recovery. Ticket holders await updates on new dates and refund policies.
