Will Taylor Swift Perform in China in 2025?
The possibility of a Taylor Swift performance in Shanghai in 2025 was highlighted in a recent report by the Chinese media outlet The Paper.
According to the report, Shanghai’s authorities have initiated preliminary talks with Swift’s team regarding a concert next year. This news follows the global success of Swift’s Eras Tour, which broke numerous records, though China was noticeably absent from the tour itinerary.
While Swift’s team has not yet confirmed any plans, Zhang Qi, deputy director of the Shanghai Culture and Tourism Bureau, expressed optimism about the event. Speaking about the discussions, Zhang Qi noted that the ultimate decision would hinge on market conditions and Shanghai’s appeal as a cultural destination.
“As for whether it can take place in the end, we feel that it will have to depend on the market and the attractiveness of the city of Shanghai. But we are optimistic that there may be hope this year,” Zhang Qi said.
Adding to the buzz is the success of Swift’s concert documentary, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, in China. The film broke records, becoming the highest-grossing music documentary at the box office in the country. This achievement, coupled with Shanghai’s global reputation as a cultural hub, strengthens the likelihood of a groundbreaking performance in the city.
Although Swift’s team has not released an official statement about the potential concert, the possibility has already generated significant excitement among her Chinese fans. The prospect of seeing Taylor Swift live in Shanghai has reignited hopes for her long-awaited debut performance in the country.
