The new shows will be on Aug. 8 and Aug. 9, 2023. The first performance will feature HAIM and Gracie Abrams. On Aug. 9, HAIM will make an encore performance along with artist GAYLE.

The original dates of the tour were from Aug. 3-5. Public sales for tickets will begin on Friday, Nov. 18 at 10 a.m. Those shows will feature a similar cast of supporting acts, with the addition of artist OWENN.

This is Swift's first tour in five years. Its announcement comes off the heels of her Oct. 21 release of "Midnights," which quickly soared to the top of the sales charts. She also made history by claiming all 10 of the top spots on Billboard's "Hot 100" song chart, with the track "Anti-Hero" taking the top spot.
