Did Taylor Swift announce a 2026 tour? Kentucky gala posts two tickets as auction item
Louisville, Kentucky, event organizers are finding out how viral an auction announcement can go after mentioning 2026 tour tickets to see Taylor Swift as a potential prize. The only issue is a 2026 tour hasn't been announced.
The Galt House will host the 12th Unbridled Eve Derby Gala on May 2 and feature celebrities, entertainers and athletes. A table of 10 goes for $12,000 and up.
On April 12, the Fox-affiliate station in Louisville posted a web story with a list of auction prizes. The headline read, "Unbridled Eve Derby Gala returns with big names, bigger auction — and a Taylor Swift surprise."
The surprise was "Taylor Swift Package: Signed guitar by Taylor Swift and two concert tickets for a concert during her next tour."
The Swift fandom spiraled across TikTok and X excited about the possibility of a leak about an upcoming tour.
"This is news to me," Swiftie influncer @eurosweetheart posted.

Tammy York Day is one of the co-founders of the event. Day sent out a correction to a previous news release with the statement: "In the most recent Unbridled Eve press release, it inadvertently listed one of our auction items as a 'Signed guitar by Taylor Swift and two concert tickets during her upcoming 2026 tour.' Our deepest apologies for getting the Swiftie Nation excited, but it should have said 'Guitar signed by Taylor Swift and two tickets for a concert during her next tour.' We have no knowledge whatsoever of when that tour will be."
Swift makes most announcements either exclusively on a broadcast platform or over social media. On Nov. 1, 2022, she told "Good Morning America" about the Eras Tour, saying the tour was a journey through all the musical eras of her career.
The singer's team did not reply to a request for comment.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have cozy date night in Florida amid singer's rumored fallout with Blake Lively
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a low-key date night in Florida amid the singer's rumored friendship fallout with Blake Lively. The pair was spotted having dinner at Harry's restaurant in West Palm Beach on Friday night. MMA fighter Jose Andres Cortes shared a photo on his Instagram Story of the couple looking cozy while sitting side-by-side in a booth and enjoying some drinks before having their entrees. Another snap posted by singer Mark Morrison caught the Grammy winner making an excited facial expression while seated at the table. A source told TMZ that the lovebirds, both 35, entered the restaurant holding hands before Swift walked ahead of Kelce. The 'Cruel Summer' songstress wore a floral off-the-shoulder sundress for the romantic outing and styled her hair in a loose bun. The NFL star, on the other hand, wore a printed black-and-white button-down shirt with tan pants. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been renting a $20 million mansion in Boca Raton, Fla., while training in the offseason. The outing comes after it was reported that Swift is further distancing herself from her longtime pal Lively after being subpoenaed in the 'Gossip Girl' alum's ongoing legal feud with Justin Baldoni. 'Right now, if Taylor had one wish, it would be that she never met Blake,' an insider claimed to the Daily Mail Thursday.'Although there have been good times during their relationship, the issues now concerning the Baldoni case have outweighed them.' 'When Taylor looks back at their friendship, she realizes it wasn't worth all the stress Blake put her through. She can now see all the red flags that should have been a warning to her,' the source further alleged. Kelce is said to be supporting his girlfriend in the drama — even unfollowing Ryan Reynolds, Lively's husband, on Instagram. Baldoni's lawyers originally subpoenaed Swift on the belief that she played a role in Lively's alleged attempts to take control of 'It Ends With Us.' In Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, the 'Jane the Virgin' alum claimed the 'Another Simple Favor' star name-dropped Swift to push her script rewrites. Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman went on to allege in a written affidavit to the court that Lively's lawyer threatened to release Swift's private texts if she did not publicly support the actress. She also allegedly demanded that Swift delete their messages. Baldoni and his legal team dropped Swift's subpoena earlier this week after reportedly getting the information they wanted. A source told Page Six of the situation: 'When information is voluntarily received, there is no need for subpoenas.' Lively's rep commented on the matter in a statement to Deadline, saying, 'We are pleased that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties have withdrawn their harassing subpoenas to Taylor Swift and her law firm. Lively and Baldoni are expected to face off in court in March 2026.

Taylor Swift reveals fate of debut album re-recording amid shock news she bought back her masters
'Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)' may be coming soon. Taylor Swift revealed she has re-recorded her self-titled debut album despite buying back her masters. 'I've already re-recorded my entire debut album. And I really love how it sounds now,' the pop superstar, 35, said in a statement on her website Friday of her 2006 album, which featured hits like 'Tim McGraw,' 'Teardrops on My Guitar' and 'Our Song.' Swift made the revelation while addressing why the re-recording of 'Reputation' has been so delayed. She admitted of her sixth studio album, which was first released in 2017, 'I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it,' noting she 'kept hitting a stopping point' when she attempted to re-record it. However, Swift told her loyal fans she's open to the idea that both her debut album and 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' will 'have their moment to re-emerge when the time is right, if that is something you guys would be excited about.' 'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now,' the Grammy winner noted, referencing the major news surrounding her headline-making deal comes about six years after she and famed music manager Scooter Braun publicly feuded over the sale of her records. Braun, 49, bought the masters in 2019 for $300 million with the 'You Belong With Me' singer alleging that the transaction was made without her approval. Braun then sold them to Shamrock Capital in 2020. 'This was the second time my music had been sold without my knowledge. The letter told me that they wanted to reach out before the sale to let me know, but that Scooter Braun had required that they make no contact with me or my team, or the deal would be off,' Swift claimed via X in November of that year. As a result of the bad blood, the 'Shake It Off' singer re-recorded four of her albums, releasing 'Fearless (Taylor's Version),' 'Red (Taylor's Version),' 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version),' and '1989 (Taylor's Version).' Page Six exclusively reported last week that Swift was finally given the chance to buy back the originals. Sources told us at the time that Shamrock Capital had become interested in selling them back to her. We were also told Braun was allegedly encouraging the company to follow through with the sale.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hold hands leaving dinner date at Palm Beach restaurant
Florida is one hell of a drug. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted holding hands while leaving a dinner date at Buccan restaurant in Palm Beach on Wednesday night. A video shared on X by a fan showed the couple making their way to a waiting SUV after enjoying their meal at the upscale cafe. The 'Lover' songstress donned a black minidress for the romantic outing with her beau. She styled her hair up into a bun and wore a red lip. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end coordinated with the pop star, sporting a black shirt with black-and-white checkered pants. At one point, Kelce waved at onlookers on the sidewalk, while Swift flashed a smile. Photos of the duo, both 35, inside the restaurant showed them in good spirits. They were seen chatting while looking over the menu, and Kelce was seen laughing enthusiastically. The A-list couple's dinner date comes after the 'Cruel Summer' singer announced last week that she purchased the masters for her first six studio albums. 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words,' Swift gushed in a letter on her website. 'All of the music I've ever made … now belongs… to me.' Swift and Kelce, meanwhile, have slowly been making their way back into the spotlight after retreating following the Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl. The pair resurfaced for a Mother's Day outing with Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, in Philadelphia last month. They also stepped out for a date night at Harry's in West Palm Beach, Fla., on May 23. At the time, Swift and Kelce were spotted cozied up in a booth while sipping on some drinks. They have been spending time in the Sunshine State as the tight end rents a $20 million mansion in Boca Raton. Kelce reportedly snagged the property in April as he gears up for the forthcoming NFL season.
