Taylor Swift Confirms Eras Tour Won’t Get Any More Extensions: ‘This Tour Is Going to End in December — That’s It’

Jason Kelce is talking about attending his firs- ever Taylor Swift concert!

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Neil Young announced Wednesday that the remaining dates on the tour he has been doing with his longtime backing group Crazy Horse are being canceled, due to illness hitting “a couple of us” since they last performed in May. He did not specify whether he was among those stricken. The cancellations are for shows as far as three months out from now.

Jason Kelce finally made it to one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour performances… And he was literally moved to tears!

EXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Sam Wrench, who was behind the $261M highest grossing concert and documentary movie of all-time, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, is opening the doors to Next of Kin Content. EverWonder Studio is making an investment in the production company which will focus on culture-driven live event, documentary, and unscripted programming. 

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic It’s difficult to believe that JD McPherson, one of the great classic-minded rock ‘n’ roll singer-songwriters of the modern age, hasn’t had a new album of non-seasonal material out in seven years. That absence of fresh recordings hasn’t caused anyone to issue any missing-person alerts for him in the past few years, though. He’s been quite visible, serving as both the band leader and opening act for three successive Robert Plant/Alison Krauss tours.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “I Am: Celine Dion,” newly released for viewing on Prime Video, is so focused on what the singer has been through in more than a decade and a half of struggling with Stiff Person Disease that it’s hard to believe that director Irene Taylor didn’t even know Dion was ill when she signed on to the project. All she Taylor really knew, when she agreed to direct the film about a year of discussions, was that Dion seemed like a star who really, really had something to get off her chest… with little anticipation of just what kind of floodgates would open.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic John Mayer says he didn’t always feel a sense of urgency about getting people out to see Dead & Company concerts … not even when the group was doing a final national tour in 2023. Now, he does, with a month and a half left on the group’s engagement at Las Vegas’ Sphere. He’s not making any pronouncements about this marking an end of the road for the band — a Grateful Dead offshoot that he formed with three original Dead members back in 2015.

Ashton Kutcher attended Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in London on Saturday — and made it a family affair. The longtime couple brought along their children, Wyatt, 9, and Dimitri, 7, to the show at Wembley Stadium.In one video recorded by a fan during Swift’s performance of “Love Story,” Kunis, 40, appears to crouch down as if getting down on one knee for Kutcher, 46.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic During Dead & Company’s current run of 30 shows at Las Vegas’ Sphere, no one is exercising the gift of gab on stage. As is typical for the Grateful Dead spinoff group, the music does all the talking, for three and a half hours — with additional non-verbal help from the world’s most advanced concert video design on the dome’s wrap-around screen.

Taylor Swift has recently revealed that her Eras Tour will be wrapping up at the end of this year, but fear not, you've still got a solid six months to try and catch her global tour. While social media is flooded with outfit inspo for those lucky enough to have bagged a ticket, there's one accessory that every Swifty simply must have a friendship bracelet.The origin of the friendship bracelet tradition isn't clear cut, but it's become a key part of each concert, with fans excitedly swapping their bracelets with fellow Swifties.

The Kelce family is spending the night at the Eras Tour!

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you,” Taylor Swift sang in “Cruel Summer.” Now, the theme of the cost of maintaining a hidden relationship returns in a new duet between Gracie Abrams and Swift, “Us” (which is styled “us.”), that premiered at the crack of midnight Friday morning. The song is the fifth track on Abrams’ official sophomore album, titled “The Secret of Us,” which effectively makes “Us” the title track, give or take a few words.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Before John Williams became the flagship film composer-conductor anyone thought of when they thought about the Hollywood Bowl, that honor belonged to Henry Mancini. And in some years, when Los Angeles is particularly lucky, it still does, even though the scorer behind “The Pink Panther,” “Days of Wine and Roses” and other classic scores has been gone for 30 years now. This Sunday, the LA Phil will devote the Bowl’s traditional opening night to a 100th birthday celebration for the man who, arguably more than any other, turned movie scores into a truly populist artform… and who conducted at the Bowl 29 times.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift‘s “The Tortured Poets Department” has spent its first eight weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart — a very good number that looks to get better. It may not vacate the top spot any time soon, between the album’s still-blockbuster streaming numbers, the issuing of variants as an insurance policy on the sales side, and the apparent lack of any competing superstar releases before mid-August. So how long can she keep this streak going? And are there any records for consecutive weeks at No.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic For his new “Honeymind” album, singer and actor Ben Platt brought in an especially honeyed voice as a counterpart on one song, Brandy Clark. He had written “Treehouse” in a writing session with Clark well before the album was being put together, and then he and producer Dave Cobb had the eureka (or as Platt puts it, “duh”) moment of realizing just how much more haunting it might sound as a duet with the co-writer, whose chops obviously don’t begin and end with songwriting prowess.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Sometimes girls just want to take a load off, too. Cyndi Lauper will be calling it quits as a touring performer after she does what is billed as her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour” in arenas this fall — an outing she insists really will have her calling it a day on any kind of road show, although she’s not ruling out one-offs.

on Instagram after the shows.“Thank you for breaking the all-time attendance record for a stadium show in Scotland 3 times in a row and for all the ways you made us feel right at home. Love you, all 220,000 of you!!!”A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)And the Edinburgh shows weren’t without it’s special moments, as the singer even witnessed a couple getting engaged during her combined “Folklore” and “Evermore” set.“I love performing this entire show in the sunlight ’cause I’m pretty sure I just, like, saw somebody get engaged over here,” the pop star told the crowd at Murrayfield Stadium in a clip shared on Threads.Once fans confirmed the exciting news, the “Karma” hitmaker pumped both her arms in the air and screamed, “Yes!”“Congratulations, wow!” she enthusiastically added.

Almost a year after tickets for Taylor Swift ’s UK tour first went on sale, the Love Story singer is finally getting ready to kickstart the UK leg of The Eras Tour as she heads to Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on Friday, 7 June. But while fans of the 34 year old star can expect to sing and dance the night away to music from throughout her 18-year career, it’s not just the songs that they can enjoy.Throughout the entirety of The Eras Tour, fans have been making friendship bracelets to swap with each other at the shows.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson has always done things his way, and his iconoclasm will be in full force in July when he releases an album under the nom de plume “Johnny Blue Skies” — which he’s indicating will be the name that all his future albums will come out under. But for the purposes of touring, he will remain Sturgill Simpson. Whether splitting that difference is by preference, or because major venue operators are unlikely to book shows for a major artist under a pseudonym, is unknown.

Taylor Swift kicked off the European leg of her iconic Eras Tour in Paris earlier this month - and performed an entirely updated setlist.
