Rihanna’s Rumored 2023 Tour May Be Announced After The Super Bowl Halftime Show

Riri may be coming to a city near you.

Rihanna’s first performance in over five years may be setting the stage for an upcoming world tour. The “Work” singer is rumored to be embarking on her first world tour in over seven years, since 2016’s Anti Tour, and she might be announcing tour dates and details shortly after her Super Bowl Halftime Show on Feb. 12.

Page Six reported on Feb. 7 that three different sources have heard “rumblings” of tour plans , which were being kept very secret. “There has been a lot of talk among people in the know, especially in the last week or two, that Rihanna is gearing up to announce a tour,” an insider said. “It seems to be more than just hearsay at this point.” The outlet may be onto something, as just days earlier, The Sun also reported that a Riri tour was in the works.

Rihanna announced that she would headline the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show in September, immediately causing buzz that a new album would finally follow after nearly seven years of waiting. However, she quelled the speculation that November, telling the Associated Press that the Super Bowl and the release of new music are two separate things that may not intertwine. However, she didn’t say anything about a tour, and wouldn’t it just make sense for tickets to go on sale after she makes her big comeback at the Super Bowl? Here’s everything to know about Riri’s (alleged) 2023 tour.

Rihanna’s Potential 2023 Tour Dates

Given how Rihanna has yet to confirm a world tour is even happening, dates have naturally not been announced yet. However, The Sun reports that Riri will perform in North America in late 2023 before going international next year. “She has her North American dates ready to announce for 2023 after the Super Bowl and it will be a matter of time before European dates are announced for 2024,” the outlet claimed.

In addition, she will reportedly do mini-residencies at arenas in select major cities, like Harry Styles’ 2022 Love On Tour, rather than play larger stadiums or embark on a more extensive arena trek that visits more cities.

Rihanna’s 2023 Tour Tickets

Since tour dates have yet to be announced, ticket details are a little ways off — if the tour reports are even true. However, if reports that Rihanna will play arenas in select cities rather than stadiums are accurate, then expect tickets to be an ordeal to get, especially following the Super Bowl. Get those credit cards ready and start praying for a presale code.

Live reviews

Rihanna made her entrance through one of the tunnels like a boxer coming out for the main event. Concealing her face under a heavy hood, she slowly found her way onto the platform opposite the stage. A spotlight followed her every move, making the white robe glow, while phone lights provided stars to pierce through the dark night surrounding her. A single microphone waited on a stand as thunderous applause and ear-piercing screams filled the venue, and it served to silence the crowd in an instant. “All along it was a fever, a cold sweat hot-headed believer…” Having exposed nothing more than her unmistakable voice (and fingernails and unmistakable ass) to her audience, there was no doubt as to who was hiding under that robe. The entirety of “Stay” was performed from that position, before she revealed her face. Having attended close to a thousand concerts, it’s not often I find myself in awe at being in close proximity to a musician, but seeing Rihanna standing in front of me, in the flesh, made me realize what a cult of personality she has built around herself. As she continued the performance with “Love the Way You Lie (Part II)”, she was part pop diva, part rock star, part sex symbol, all while never being anything but Rihanna. She is still so young, yet has already solidified herself among the very few people in history who everyone will know by a single name. It was very in the show, but I was already convinced she had earned that status as well. Her voice is her defining talent, but her business acumen, stage presence, attitude, and beauty are what complete the package. - See more at: http://ilistensoyoudonthaveto.com/2016/05/10/rihanna-viejas-arena-05-09-16/#sthash.AluW51yF.dpuf

Es hieß der Einlass wäre um 17 Uhr,allerdings waren wir ungefähr um 19 Uhr erst im Stadion und die Musik spielte schon. Draußen wurden dann schon alle nervös.

Erst als wir vorne an kamen, haben wir auf einem Plakat gelesen, dass The Weekend gar nicht kommen wird.Schade das man im INTERNET keine Infos darüber hatte!

Wir hatten uns brav alle angestellt, ca schon um 16 Uhr.Und wir mussten uns die ganzen Zeit angucken wie Menschenmassen an uns einfach vorbei gehen und sich vordrängten. Und keiner von der Security hat etwas dagegen unternommen.

Wir haben E-mails erhalten, dass strengere Kontrollen erfolgen werden und wir deshalb mehr Zeit einplanen sollten.Aber wo war das Personal dafür und um ehrlich zu sein war das eine sehr mickrige Kontrolle und trotzdem hat es ewig gedauert!

Als wir dann endlich drin waren wussten wir gar nicht wo hin mit uns,weil einfach nichts ausgeschildert war. Big Sean hat richtig Stimmung gemacht.Er war eine Stunde da.Danach lief nur noch eine Playlist und haben über eine Stunde auf Rihanna gewartet.Als sie dann endlich kam waren die Rücken- und Fußschmerzen vergessen vom ganzen stehen und warten.Sie hat uns eine tolle Show geboten. Ich liebe sie und die Kommentare im Internet, von wegen das sie Lustlos gewesen sei, ist einfach nicht wahr. Die Show ging leider nur 90Minuten und wir hätten uns alle über eine Zugabe gefreut, trotzdem war es ein tolles Konzert!

With all that has happened in France recently, Rihanna faced a stiff challenge getting Parisians and herself in a summery party mood at the Stadt De France.

However, she seemed to instinctively make the right choices to tap into the crowds fears, their need to reflect and their right to sing and dance without care. Rihanna opened the show hidden beneath a white hooded sweater and sang the wistful 'Stay' - a song whose lyrics took on a lot of ambivalence given the current political climate.

The songs from her Anti album were well received even though their lazy, sexy groove is more suited to a more intimate arena. Among the many hits from the album, 'Desperado' and 'Kiss it Better' stood out as they showcased Rihanna's scything vocals and Prince-like funk.

Rihanna also expertly mixed in medleys of favourites such as 'Umbrella', 'Man Down' and 'We Found Love in a Hopeless Place.' An undoubted highlight was 'Diamonds' which was introduced with a genuinely heartfelt speech by Rihanna expressing support for peace and the people of France. She then asked for the stadium to send out its light to France by way of illuminated mobile phones and the result was a spectacular touching moment.

By the end of the show, everyone had fallen more in love with Rihanna and headed back into the dark Parisian night with a little more light in their hearts and minds.

You've seen her music videos. You follow her on twitter. You follow her style, trends, favorites. You sing the lyrics in the shower, driving home with your friends, serenading a lover. But nothing is as real as seeing Rihanna perform live!!! The energy from the audience, the attitude and power that's thrown back off the stage...ah-maz-ing. The peeks and valleys from the soulful serenade of Stay to the sexy shock of S&M it's all new once you hear it live! One of my favorite things about going to a show is not only the excitement building up to it, buying the tickets then getting my bracelet and going in. That's just the beginning. I love more than anything, after seeing a great show and I'm back at home listening to the music, remembering where I was, who I was with, how I felt, what I saw and how much fun we were having when we were rocking out and suddenly, Rihanna isn't just some celebrity entertainer, she is a part of something bigger and the music is suddenly different, better, more meaningful. I've seen Rihanna a couple of times and every time that girl delivers. Her fans love her, she has attitude and swag that makes her real and sometimes the energy leaves you glowing for days and asking yourself, how long do I have to wait until music makes me feel this high again?

It was a great concert from the begining. DJ Mustard started the show, and it was wery good warm up, people were dancing.

Then after a little break came on the stage Big Sean. That was also powerful performance and we really enjoyed that.

After another break started Rihanna's show. She came from the back of the arena to the little stage above the soundmen. Two slow songs were awesome. Than she walked on steel and glass bridge and sing a song Woo and another one above us. See was so close to us, that was perfect. Then the reast of the show was on the main stage. She sings wery well, but the sound was overbassed, and the singing can't be heared clearly, that was mistake. Also she was'n talk much, she gave us one song after another. But the songs are so great. It was generally songs from the new album Anti, great. The show duration was 90min.

I'm so blessed that I was on the show. I was great. Thank you and hopefully see you RiRi again soon.

Rihanna's Anti World tour concert in Malmö was even better than I expected. I have to be honest, I was not a big fan of hers but of course Queen Riri changed that with her beautiful yet slaying personality and amazing voice. The overall experience was fun althought the only thing that was a littlee annoying is the fact that the concert started a little more than an hour later than what it was supposed to. But I mean.. it's Rihanna, she can do whatever. A tips from me would be to either buy the standing tickets as close to the scene as possible or buy the ones that are high up and on the opposite side of the scene. I was up and although it was long away from Riri it was magical to see all the people and the lights and literary everything. If you're hesirating weather you should go or not I would tell you to go go go, because it is such a beautiful and fun experience to have!

In one word - unforgettable.

Rihanna was in rare form. This tour has a more subdued palette than her other tours, as the stage was a blank white, and all of her outfits were in shades of cream, tan, black, and brown. However, there was a special energy in the room that night. Rihanna seemed happy, comfortable, and more in control than she has ever been. She joked with the crowd, engaged with all sides of the arena, and made sure everyone had a good time. Halfway during the concert, she announced that it was party time, and the stage lit up with these cool colored pods that pulsated in different colors. Other highlights include her flying over the audience, a foam machine on stage, and her dancers exciting the crowd in sparkly outfits.

I envy those who are going to see her, and implore those who can still buy tickets to do so!

Rihanna is probably one of the best pop artists at the moment. I've gone to three shows - first in Portugal, in her "Loud" tour; 2nd in London in a small venue for her "777" tour; and the last one in Richmond park, as part of the "Unapolagetic" tour. All of them were incredibly amazing! Her songs put so much energy in the crowd and it's impossible to not get stuck to her dance moves and stage special effects.

From the lights, sceneries, to the outfits - everything is top quality and very sophisticated and original.

You are able to listen to the top hits, and also some medleys from her older stuff. Setlists are wisely chosen, as they keep the crowd excited along the show.

I would definitely go to her next show - it's always a surprise and somewhat different from what she has done until now.

Daaaammmn. I didn't know what to expect, especially since I found myself more excited for the preshow of 'the weeknd'to the Rhianna tour and contemplated selling the tickets after he and Travis Scott pulled out. I'm glad I didn't. The show itself made me realise just how many anthems Rhianna has to her name.These sprinkled throwbacks were the most memorable for me throughout the show. The set and lighting combined to give a fab production value over all, in particular the very beginning where Rihanna emerged from behind and took a smaller stage before flying off on a clear platform across to the main stage. Overall I really really enjoyed the show. Wasn't quite one that made me jump and wave my arms around, but one that made me appreciate the talent Rihanna clearly has.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky attend 2023 Met Gala

Is Rihanna going on tour across the world? Here are all the rumours over RiRi's comeback shows.

Listen to this article

Rihanna is reportedly in talks for planning a comeback world tour, in new plans reportedly worth over £30 million.

The 35-year-old is currently on maternity leave after giving birth to second son, Riot Rose , in August of this year, and also has one-year-old RZA with partner ASAP Rocky .

So, is Rihanna going on a world tour? What are the rumours, where will she be headed and how can I get tickets? Here's everything you need to know.

Is Rihanna going on tour?

According to The Mirror, Rihanna is reportedly planning a massive comeback tour after striking a deal with promoter Live Nation.

The deal is suggested to be worth a whopping £32 million, with dates for her tour set to be in 2024 and 2025.

The same publication alleges that her creative team is quietly at work in Los Angeles to prepare the tour as she raises her two sons with partner ASAP Rocky.

Where in the world is Rihanna going on her tour?

No dates and countries have yet to be confirmed for Rihanna's speculative tour.

However, if we look at where Rihanna performed during 2016's ANTI World Tour, we can expect lots of stops across countries.

This tour spanned 75 shows across North America, Europe and the UAE.

Is Rihanna releasing a new album?

Rihanna has not released a full body of material since 2016's ANTI, but she did release two songs for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022.

The insider at The Mirror also revealed that "she has 'two albums’ worth of material to release once she’s back."

Where can I get tickets to Rihanna's tour?

As there is no official confirmation of Rihanna's comeback tour, tickets are not available to purchase.

If there are any updates, this page will be modified in due course.

Rihanna Is Reportedly Gearing Up To Announce A Global Tour This Year

When Rihanna announced she'd be returning to performing at this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday, February 12, her fans went wild. Could this mean the pop star was making a return to music? Her last performance was in 2018 at the Grammy Awards, and since then the musical artist has been seemingly focused on her beauty empire and becoming a new mother, leaving some were wondering if she'd ever get back to her first love: music.

The source added, “Her plan is to set up mini residencies in major cities rather than visit multiple places.”

The Anti singer has also been seen at the studio these past few months, though some people suggested she might be visiting A$AP Rocky. However, with the release of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever came two songs for the soundtrack by Rihanna, “Lift Me Up” and “Born Again. So she has been recording, though the promise of a tour does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with a new album.

The source did say she'll be keeping the rumored touring short, because her focus is still on Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty.

In November of last year, Rihanna told E! News ' Justin Sylvester that even the Super Bowl halftime show is just 12 minutes long, so she isn't really nervous about filling the time after putting on two hour shows most of her performing history. However, she is considering some surprise guests.

“Twelve minutes?” she said. “You could actually do that by yourself, but it's one of those things where you can decorate it however you want. So whether I choose to do it for myself or whether I choose to bring some of my peers on, it's…I don't know what I'm gonna do yet.”

She added, “It's gonna be great either way.”

Rihanna teases new music and world tour: “Let’s just blow everything up”

A new album will mark her first full LP since 2016’s ‘Anti’

Rihanna has teased that there may be new music and world tour on the horizon.

• READ MORE: Rihanna: every album ranked and rated

The moment came during a new red carpet interview, which saw her asked about when fans can expect to see her return to the stage after taking a hiatus from music.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight , she hinted that there have always been plans for her to return to performing, but that she would rather wait until she has new music before she commits to a full tour.

“Well we’re always gonna go back on tour,” she told the outlet. “[But] I feel I want to do a tour when there’s new music. We already know what that’s gonna be, with the songs that I’ve performed on my last tour. That was a long time ago.”

“I feel like it’s only fair that my fans get what they’ve been waiting on, which is new music. After that, lets just like, blow everything up,” she continued, potentially suggesting a packed schedule of performances coming in the future.

Rihanna’s last full-length album came in the form of ‘Anti’ – her eighth studio record, which arrived at the beginning of 2016.

She also went on to admit that she felt the release was her “most brilliant album” to date , and that its legacy – along with her perfectionist tendency –has gotten in the way of her releasing her next work.

“I realised that if I keep waiting until this feels right and perfect and better, maybe it’s going to keep taking forever and maybe it’ll never come out and no, I’m not down to that,” she explained previously. “So I want to play. And by play, I mean I have my ideas in my head, but I can’t say them out loud yet.”

The Fenty fashion label owner was also reportedly set to go on tour this year, before finding out she and partner A$AP Rocky were expecting their second child, Riot Rose . She is now rumoured to be one of the two female headliners booked to top the bill at the festival in 2024 .

Rihanna’s last release was the 2022 song ‘Lift Me Up’ , the sombre lead single to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack and a tribute to late actor Chadwick Boseman .

Since the track was shared, Rihanna has gone on to headline the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show , where she revealed her second pregnancy to the world. Ahead of the performance, she told Associated Press that “Super Bowl is one thing. New music is another thing,” insinuating she wasn’t releasing music around the time of the performance.

Everything we know about Rihanna’s rumoured 2023 UK tour

Fans are convinced that the singer will announce a string of global dates following her Super Bowl halftime show

2023 is officially the year of the massive comeback. Queen Bey has announced her  Renaissance W orld Tour , Madonna is celebrating 40 years in music with her first greatest-hits tour and now the rumour mill is buzzing with talk that Rihanna is about to swoop in and complete the holy trinity. What a time to be alive. 

The ‘Navy’, as Riri’s fans call themselves, have been waiting for this moment for what feels like aeons. We already know that the singer will be performing for the first time in seven years at her much-hyped Super Bowl performance later this month (Sunday February 12 2023) but many are convinced that a tour will shortly follow. Here’s everything we know so far.  

Is Rihanna going on tour in 2023?

Long story short: we don’t know. But apparently we could find out soon, despite the fact that there’s still no confirmed news of an album. 

What do we know about Rihanna’s potential tour dates?

It’s thought she will announce her North American dates first and will later confirm a European tour for 2024.

Last time around, her tour spanned 71 dates in cities across the world and included six UK shows, so if she does indeed hit the road this year we might expect something similar. However, an insider source recently told The Sun : ‘Her plan is to set up mini residencies in major cities rather than visit multiple places. She wants her next global outing to be swift and easy as she plans to refocus on Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty after her brief return to music.’

Any news on how to get tickets?

Unfortunately not. But don’t fret, we’re keeping an eye out so you don’t have to. 

What’s been said about the tour so far?

Since a tour hasn’t actually been confirmed yet, very little has been said on the matter by those in the music industry. It’s safe to say, though, that fans are in a bit of a frenzy over the whole thing.

When might Rihanna announce the tour?

It’s hoped that an announcement could follow hot on the heels of RiRi’s Super Bowl performance next week. 

When was the last time Rihanna went on tour?

She last toured back in 2016 following the release of her album ‘Anti’ . The ‘Diamonds’ singer has not taken to the stage since her 2018 Grammys performance, instead focusing on her fashion and beauty empire, Fenty.

Rihanna's Mega 2024 Comeback World Tour: Dates, Tickets And More

23 October 2023, 13:30 | Updated: 24 October 2023, 11:26

By Abbie Reynolds

The Rihanna drought has been a long one but get out your Umbrella 'ellas because RiRi is reportedly planning a major comeback with a world tour and two new albums! Here's everything we know so far.

Listen to this article

We haven't had a new Rihanna album since 'ANTI' in 2016 but she remerged in the music scene when she dropped her first song in six years ' Lift Me Up ' for Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever.

This year the 'Needed Me' singer's Super Bowl performance became the most-watched halftime show ever. It was her first live performance in more than five years and she took the opportunity to reveal she was pregnant with her's and A$AP Rocky's second child.

As we near the end of 2023 fans are wondering - will 'R9' come this year, or in 2024? Well, despite Rihanna recently giving birth to her second son Riot Rose, it has been reported that she is gearing up for the comeback of a lifetime. RiRi insiders have since shut down the reports, saying 'no tour has been confirmed', but that won't stop the Navy manifesting a tour from their idol.

Even as a mum-of-two the Work doesn't stop, so it wouldn't surprise us if RiRi does announce a tour. Here's everything you need to know about the rumours on RiRi's mega return, including reports of a highly-anticipated world tour.

Will Rihanna be going on a world tour in 2024?

After reports claimed Rihanna's signed a multi-million pound deal with Live Nation, insiders close to the singer shut down the speculation saying: "No tour has been confirmed for Rihanna.”

It comes after sources claimed that she was planning an international tour in 2024 and 2025.

The deal with the entertainment company Live Nation "was created to facilitate a world tour," an insider told The Mirror .

"Her creative team is quietly at work in Los Angeles putting it all together as she raises her family. She’ll press play on the live show once she’s ready to go back to work,” it was said.

How to get tickets to Rihanna's world tour

In October it was claimed that the star had signed a mega deal with Live Nation. So far, Live Nation have not gone public with any tour dates or planned ticket sales but they will be our first point of call for any updates.

Rihanna and her long-term boyfriend A$AP Rocky welcomed their second son Riot into their lives in August so it might be later into 2024 than we'd like before she returns to stage. A newborn and a tour might even been too much for a powerhouse superstar like RiRi.

As soon as more information on Rihanna's tour and how to get tickets is available, we'll update this page!

When was Rihanna's last world tour?

Rihanna's last tour was The ANTI world tour in 2016 which started in March in Florida, Jacksonville and ended in November in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The 'ANTI' tour was the artist's seventh concert tour and was in support of her eighth studio album ANTI. Only Big Sean accompanied RiRi as a support act on her UK/Europe dates of the tour after The Weekend pulled out last minute. For her North America dates Rihanna had Travis Scott as her special guest.

The tour started just after her song 'Work' with Drake hit No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and she surprised fans across the world by bringing him onto stage to perform with her.

Rihanna shares sweet footage of her son

After teasing new music for years, Rihanna is currently sitting on an abundance of new tunes the insider continued: "[She] has two albums’ worth of material to release once she’s back.”

Rihanna's fandom pushed a theory a few years ago suggesting Rihanna's comeback could actually be a double album. With news that she has two albums' worth of material this theory could be coming true - now that would be quite the Rihanna revival.

After her Super Bowl performance this year she said she was "excited to actually put new music out" but she didn't have any updates - maybe this excitement could spur the new mum to get back into it sooner rather than later.

Since her album hiatus the star has featured on a PARTYNEXTDOOR song 'Believe It', as well as releasing music for the Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever soundtrack with 'Lift Me Up'.

She returned to live performing in May of this year when she announced her second pregnancy at her Super Bowl halftime show. Dressed in an iconic red fit beside her dancers in all white, the 'Work' star flashed her baby bump.

Rihanna Will Reportedly Announce Comeback Tour Following Super Bowl Performance

The “rihturn” is potentially slated for the end of 2023..

Rihanna is gearing up for her Super Bowl Halftime Show later this month and reports from those close to the artist are saying that it is the start of her comeback.

Fans will be excited to hear that this might not be Rihanna’s only performance this year. Between Beyoncé and Lil Wayne ‘s stadium tours, Rihanna’s addition will keep music fans busy this year. The Sun reported that following her headlining performance at the Super Bowl, Rihanna is slated to announce a full comeback, “including new music and a tour across North America later this year.” Fans across the Atlantic will also get a chance to see her performance next year. An insider said,

“She has her North American dates ready to announce for 2023 after the Super Bowl and it will be a matter of time before European dates are announced for 2024. Her plan is to set up mini residencies in major cities rather than visit multiple places. She wants her next global outing to be swift and easy as she plans to refocus on Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty after her brief return to music.”

Rihanna 'set to announce huge comeback tour and new music' after Super Bowl gig

Rihanna, 34, is set to embark on a huge tour - which will be her first since 2016. The singer is also gearing up to sing at the Super Bowl next Saturday

• 23:22, 3 Feb 2023

Rihanna is making her comeback with a huge tour after she takes to the stage at the Super Bowl.

The Love on the Brain hit maker will headline the half-time show next Saturday marking the kick off of her new tour and plans to make new music, it has been claimed.

Insiders have said that she's already got her North American dates planned and will soon be focusing on European dates, which will also reportedly see her gig in the UK.

The singer is said to be "working overtime" as she prepares for the tour.

She is also said to be planning "mini residencies" in huge cities for fans to watch her perform.

A music insider told The Sun: “ Rihanna ’s Super Bowl halftime performance will be one of the best of all time.

“The list of songs that made the cut are pretty comprehensive and touch on every era of Rihanna including the new one she’s about to embark on.

“She has her North American dates ready to announce for 2023 after the Super Bowl and it will be a matter of time before European dates are announced for 2024.“

She will perform on February 12 when Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

A source also told People: “She is ready for the Super Bowl. She is rehearsing right now. She's very excited, ready, and focused.“

“She can't wait to kill it,“ they added.

This will be Rihanna's first tour since 2016 as she has been busy with her beauty and underwear businesses.

She also became a mum last year as she gave birth to a baby boy, whom she shares with boyfriend ASAP Rocky.

Rihanna recently shared a video of her son, who's name she is yet to reveal, in a car seat on TikTok.

The smiling baby gazed out of the window as he giggled.

She and ASAP Rocky, both 34, welcomed their son in May after announcing that they were expecting in January.

The couple have known each other for nearly 10 years, but their relationship turned romantic in 2020.

She shared a photo of the two of them together in New York wearing a pink top exposing her bump.

In a recent interview with Washington Post, Rihanna explained the reason why they haven't revealed the name of their son.

“We just didn’t get around to it yet really. We’ve just been living,“ she said.

“But I guess there’s a certain freedom that comes with a kind of just, like, getting it out there.”

After giving birth, Rihanna has been praised for proudly showing off her post-partum figure.

The couple were recently spotted together as they left a restaurant.

She wore a strapless sheer black dress which revealed her underwear and added a leather purse which had a chunky gold chain.

Taylor Swift's Dancer Honors Liverpool in Cute 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' Shoutout During Show

Swift performed her third and final Liverpool Eras Tour Show on Saturday, June 15

Taylor Swift made a sweet change to her final Eras Tour show in Liverpool.

On Saturday, June 15, during Swift's third Eras Tour show at Anfield Stadium, in Liverpool, England, the singer, 34, honored the city by incorporating a surprise twist to her song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

In footage posted on X (formerly Twitter), Swift's dancer,  Kameron Saunders changed up his "Like, ever" shoutout in the song to instead say, "Jog on, lad!" The phrase is used by scousers — which is a colloquial term for people from Liverpool — and loosely means "get lost." Saunders even adopted a Liverpudlian accent for the switch-up, much to the delight of the audience, who roared their approval.

The dancer is known for saying the phrase in the native language of where the performance is taking place — but he also made a special switch-up during Swift's first show in Liverpool to mark her 100th Eras Tour show.

In a video  shared on TikTok  from the Thursday, June 13, concert Saunders changed the shout-out to "for the 100th time, no."

Earlier that day, which marked the 100th show of the tour, the Grammy-winner told the audience that her tour would be coming to a close at the end of the year.

"A lot of you are like, 'How are you going to celebrate the 100th show?' " Swift said to the crowd on June 13, per  fan-filmed footage . "The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I've acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December."

"That feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so fun for us," she continued.

"It's taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don't know what they were anymore because all I do when I'm not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups," the "Fortnight" singer continued, referencing the "surprise song" acoustic set she plays for fans towards the end of every Eras Tour show.

The singer also stayed up late after the June 13 concert to tune into a livestream of the Kansas City Chiefs ring ceremony, where she watched her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his teammates receive their Super Bowl LVIII rings.

Swift tuned in to the livestream on Chariah Gordon’s  Instagram Live and shared her excitement in the comments section.

“JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL,” Swift wrote. “LET'S GOOOOOOOO!”

Swift's Liverpool shows were full of sweet moments, as well as performing mashups of “The Manuscript” and “Red,” as well as “Carolina” with “No Body, No Crime," by Evermore during her acoustic “surprise song” set  on June 15, the night before the singer delighted the audience with a rendition of the 2016 hit “This Is What You Came For” by  Rihanna  and Swift’s ex  Calvin Harris .

Her second show in the city also saw her praise the "beautiful" crowd in a sweet moment  posted on X  (formerly Twitter).

"I just want to say, on an individual basis, this is one of the most expressive, genuine, generous, beautiful crowds I've ever gotten to play for," Swift said.

"I've made so many best friends out here tonight, you have no idea," she added.

Swift continued, "I'm so lucky to get to play a show with people like you wanting to come to it. Thank you so, so, so much for that. I love you Liverpool. Thank you."

The pop superstar  first announced the Eras Tour in November 2022 , with 27 concert dates across the United States. Since then, she's added several additional legs to the tour including Latin America ,  Asia ,  Australia  and  Europe , as well as an additional North American leg. 

"Just know that I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you've put into being with us when this tour reaches triple digits of shows — so thank you," Swift told the fans in Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles.

Ahead of her arrival in Liverpool, which marked her first-ever show in the city, Merseyside Police said they had been working for six months to “make sure the event is a safe one” in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter).

“We’re really looking forward to welcoming Taylor Swift and the Swifties,” Chief Superintendent for Liverpool Zoe Thornton told fans in the video. “We know Swifties look after each other so continue to do so.”

Following her three nights in Liverpool, Swift will next jet off to Cardiff, Wales, for her next tour stops.

Swifties in Liverpool were treated to the ultimate deep cut from Taylor Swift ‘s discography — Calvin Harris ‘ global smash with Rihanna, “This Is What You Came For,” a song Swift co-wrote — as the surprise song for the “Eras Tour” show on Friday night.

For her second night in Liverpool, Swift performed the EDM single, weaving it into an acoustic medley that also included her song “Gold Rush,” and a piano cover of “The Great War,” and vault track, “You’re Losing Me.”

It was reported that Swift and Harris mutually chose to hide Swift’s credit in order to not draw attention to their romantic relationship. Eventually, the pseudonym was dropped from the credits and replaced with Swift’s real name.

Swift previously delivered a live rendition of “This Is What You Came For” as the headliner for 2016’s Formula One Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

Swift recently completed over 100 concerts as part of her massive “Eras Tour” run since it began in Arizona in March 2023. She’s since put out an all-new 31-song album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which continues to break records on music charts globally. Despite rumors that the “Eras Tour” would continue through next year, Swift recently affirmed that her trek will come to a close with final dates in North America in December of this year.

Taylor Swift's Surprise Song Is One She Cowrote With Ex Calvin Harris

Some Swifties have been luckier than others when it comes to the surprise songs set of Taylor Swift 's The Eras Tour .

Since launching her record-breaking tour in March 2023, Swift has used the penultimate section of her show to perform songs across her entire discography that aren't included in the concert's expansive setlist. On occasion, however, Swift has used the portion of the show to debut special mash-ups of her most famous tracks.

Swift began the trend during a November 2023 show in Buenos Aires, combining "Is It Over Now?" and "Out of the Woods" from 1989 (Taylor's Version) . That same month, Swift revealed that she would be breaking her own surprise songs rule of only performing a track once for more of her international Eras Tour dates.

"I decided that in 2024, when we go back on tour, I'm just gonna open back up all the songs for surprise songs," she told fans during a show in São Paulo, Brazil, noting that her entire discography was "fair game."

Celebrities Who Had the Time of Their Lives at Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour'

Keep scrolling for a guide to every mash-up Swift has performed on The Eras Tour so far:

‘Is It Over Now?' and ‘Out of the Woods'

One month after 1989 (TV) 's October 2023 release, Swift surprised Argentina fans with a mash-up of songs from the album. Swifties immediately made a connection between the two tracks as both are rumored to be about the pop star's ex Harry Styles .

The vault track "Is it Over Now?" features the lyrics, "When you lost control / red blood, white snow." The exes, who were romantically linked from late 2012 to early 2013, famously got into a snowmobile accident in 2012, after which Styles was photographed with a bandage on his chin.

In the song, Swift also sings about sitting in a "blue dress on a boat," a nod to being photographed in a blue dress while on a boat not long after her and Styles' split.

"Out of the Woods," is also speculated to be about Styles and Swift's snowmobile incident, featuring lyrics such as, "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? / Twenty stitches in the hospital room." The song's lyrics also make reference to the paper airplane necklaces they were each seen wearing during their brief romance.

‘Getaway Car' / ‘August' / ‘The Other Side of the Door'

After beginning to play Reputation 's "Getaway Car" on guitar during a February 2024 concert in Melbourne, Australia, Swift surprised fans by transitioning the tune into "August" from Folklore , which is included in the tour's main setlist. She rounded out the acoustic performance by adding "The Other Side of the Door" from Fearless (Taylor's Version) .

"I want to play one that you really want to hear, I want you to be happy," she told the crowd, per social media footage from the show.

Fans once again were quick to notice a connection between the songs as all three discuss infidelity. The lyrics to "Getaway Car" compare being stuck in a romantic situation with three people to being a "sideshow," while "The Other Side of the Door" asks the question if the other woman in a relationship was "worth the mess" it caused.

"August," meanwhile, is one of three Folklore songs that tells the story of a love triangle, including "Cardigan" and "Betty." The track follows the story from the perspective of a girl named August, with whom a boy named James cheated on his girlfriend Betty.

‘Come Back … Be Here' and ‘Daylight'

For her third Eras Tour concert in Melbourne , Swift grabbed her guitar to sing a mash-up of "Come Back … Be Here" from Red (Taylor's Version) and "Daylight" from Lover . While "Come Back … Be Here" tells the story of a person hoping to rekindle a broken romance, "Daylight" sees Swift discuss leaving behind the mess of past relationships after seemingly finding her perfect partner.

"And I can still see it all (in my mind) / All of you, all of my (intertwined) / I once believed love would be (black and White) / But it's golden (golden)," Swift sings in "Daylight."

It was during her third Melbourne show that Swift revealed she might repeat surprise songs throughout the remainder of the tour. "I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward, and I don't want to limit anything or say, ‘Oh, if I played this song, I can't play it again,'" she told fans, per social media footage . "So, from now on, I don't want to take any paint colors out of the paintbox [or] tools out of the toolbox."

‘White Horse' and ‘Coney Island'

Swift continued her leg of Australia Eras Tour shows in Sydney. During her first night in the city, Swift brought out her opening act, Sabrina Carpenter , to sing a mash-up of "White Horse" from Fearless (TV) and "Coney Island" from Evermore after Carpenter's performance was canceled due to poor weather.

The lyrics to both songs follow the endings of relationships after the people involved realize their romantic connection was not how they thought it would be or not how it once was.

‘Should've Said No' and ‘You're Not Sorry' / ‘Peace' and ‘New Year's Day'

Swift performed her first set of double secret song mash-ups during her second Sydney Eras Tour show in February 2024. She began by combining "Should've Said No" from her self-titled debut album, Taylor Swift , and "You're Not Sorry" from Fearless (TV) on the guitar. Both of the breakup tracks discuss relationships in which one partner was not faithful.

Swift followed up the mash-up by performing Folklore 's "Peace" with Reputation 's "New Year's Day," both of which see the singer analyze her romances. While "Peace" sees Swift question whether her fame is keeping her from maintaining "peace" in a relationship, Swift asks her partner to "please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere" in "New Year's Day."

‘Is It Over Now?' and ‘I Wish You Would' / ‘Haunted' and ‘Exile'

Swift performed another mash-up of 1989 (TV) tunes , "Is It Over Now?" and "I Wish You Would," as her guitar surprise song during Sydney Night 3 . The concert marked the second time Swift used "Is It Over Now?" in a mash-up with another track rumored to be about Styles, having previously done so in Buenos Aires in November 2023.

After performing the upbeat songs on her guitar, Swift headed over the piano to sing a mash-up of "Haunted" from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and "Exile" from Folklore . On theme with many of Swift's surprise song mash-ups, both breakup tracks tell the story of realizing a relationship was not what it seemed on the surface.

‘Forever & Always' and ‘Maroon' / ‘Would've, Could've, Should've' and ‘Ivy'

For her final night in Sydney, Swift hit fans with two more secret song mash-ups featuring some of her biggest tracks. On piano, Swift performed Fearless (TV) 's "Forever & Always" with Midnight 's "Maroon." For the guitar secret song, she combined Midnight 's "Would've, Could've, Should've" with Evermore 's "Ivy."

The performances seemingly dispelled the theory that Swift performs her most emotional tracks while wearing her yellow surprise songs dress . Swift instead sported the green version of the dress, which she has also worn in maroon and blue, for Sydney Night 4.

Swift's official fan account, Taylor Nation, seemingly confirmed there's no correlation between her surprise songs dress color and the tracks she performs. "#SydneyTSTheErasTour, the past four nights with you have kept us on the edge of our seats! Thanks for bringing *the chant* back and crying with us during the mashups!" they tweeted after the show, adding, "We fear all the dresses now … ."

‘Mine' and ‘Starlight'

Swift performed a mash-up of "Mine" and "Starlight," from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version) , respectively, during her March 2, 2024, concert in Singapore.

"This has become my favorite part of the show because it's become very chaotic and it's become a challenge for me to think of new things to do for every single city," she said in her introduction . "And hope that I'm doing something that you guys might like. It's been a blast!"

‘I Don't Wanna Live Forever' and ‘Dress'

Swift's second acoustic number on March 2 mashed up "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," her 50 Shades Darker duet with Zayn Malik , and "Dress" from Reputation .

Swift's official Instagram went live to share the performance with her followers, many of whom think it is a clue for the arrival of Reputation (Taylor's Version) . Certain Swifties even pointed out that "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" came out in December, the 12th month of the year, and "Dress" is the 12th song on Reputation 's OG tracklist.

‘Long Story Short' and ‘The Story of Us'

Swift kicked off her March 3, 2024, acoustic set in Singapore with Evermore 's "Long Story Short" on guitar. Her number evolved into a mash-up with "The Story of Us" from Speak Now (Taylor's Version).

‘Clean' and ‘Evermore'

Swift's second surprise song on March 3 combined the 1989 (Taylor's Version) track "Clean" with Evermore from her 2020 album of the same name. The piano mash-up occurred moments after Swift announced the "final edition" of The Tortured Poets Department , which is called "The Black Dog."

"[These are] two songs about healing from a sky that ‘turned black like a perfect storm' and a ‘gray November,'" one X user pointed out about the song choices, quoting the respective lyrics. "This album is about heartbreak, but also about healing."

‘Death By A Thousand Cuts' and ‘Babe' / ‘Fifteen' and ‘You're On Your Own, Kid'

For her fourth show in Singapore on March 7, Swift performed two emotional mash-ups spanning four albums during the surprise song set. On guitar, Swift combined Lover 's "Death by a Thousand Cuts" with Red 's "Babe," two fan-favorite breakup songs. While "Babe" - which Swift originally wrote for Sugarland before releasing it as a vault track on Red (TV) - reflects on a lover's infidelity and broken promises, "Death by a Thousand Cuts" recalls the slow and painful deterioration of a relationship and is based on the Netflix movie Something Great .

On piano, Swift performed a mash-up of "Fifteen" from Fearless and "You're On Your Own, Kid" from Midnights , marking her fifth performance of the latter, which is now her most-played surprise song of the Eras Tour so far. When Swift began singing "Fifteen" in a different key than usual, fans began to speculate the emotional Midnights track would be coming next. Both songs' lyrics show Swift reflecting on the innocence of youth, although she wrote "Fifteen" when she was 18, and penned "You're On Your Own, Kid" more recently as part of her 2022 album.

‘Sparks Fly' and ‘Gold Rush' / ‘False God' and ‘Slut!'

Swift went for more mash-ups during her Singapore Eras Tour show on March 8. On the guitar, she opted for "Sparks Fly" from Speak Now and "Gold Rush" from Evermore . These two songs appear to depict opposite sides of a relationship. "Sparks Fly" is about the feelings expressed during the beginning stages of a romance while "Gold Rush" is the more realistic side of a crush. Swift sings about how she is jealous of a possible suitor and cannot be with them because they are loved by everyone.

For her piano songs, Swift chose Lover 's "False God" and "Slut!" from 1989 (Taylor's Version) . Both of these seem to have more sexual undertones. "Slut!" references the sl*t-shaming Swift received in the public eye over the years, and the lyrics of "False God" lean into promiscuity.

"Tim McGraw" and "Cowboy Like Me" / "Mirrorball" and "Epiphany"

Swift once again delivered two mash-ups in Singapore. For her guitar song on March 9, she quipped that she felt "nostalgic" since it would be her "last show for a while" until May, which led into "Tim McGraw." Halfway through, Swift began strumming the chords to Evermore 's "Cowboy Like Me."

Later, Swift took to the piano to mash up the two Folklore tracks of "Mirrorball" and "Epiphany."

"The Alchemy" and "Treacherous" / "Begin Again" and "Paris"

During her fourth and final Paris concert in May, Swift performed two mash-ups. On the guitar, she sang The Tortured Poets Department 's "The Alchemy" - which is widely believed to be about her romance with boyfriend Travis Kelce , who was in attendance - and Red 's "Treacherous."

For her piano song, she belted out Red 's "Begin Again" and Midnight's "Paris." (Swift also performed "Paris" during the first night in the city.) "When she says I'm so in love that I might stop breathing my heart melted because she literally is so in love," a user wrote via X , referencing the lyrics to "Paris."

‘I Think He Knows' and ‘Gorgeous'

For Swift's first May 2024 concert in Sweden, she mashed up the Lover and Reputation songs for her guitar surprise song. At one point, she sang, "I think he knows that he's gorgeous," which several fans believed was a subtle shout-out to boyfriend Kelce.

Days before the Sweden show, Swift jetted off to Lake Como, Italy, with the NFL tight end in between concerts. (Kelce did not make it to the gig as his Kelce Jam festival in Kansas City took place on the same day.)

‘Say Don't Go,' ‘Welcome to New York' and ‘Clean'

For the first time, Swift performed a trio mash-up for her second Stockholm, Sweden show. The piano rendition took place during the 89th show on her Eras Tour.

‘Message in a Bottle,' ‘How You Get the Girl' and ‘New Romantics'

As Swift kicked off the surprise song set of her final Sweden concert, she revealed that Max Martin was in the crowd. While the "shy" songwriter was not interested in coming up on stage for a duet, he did want to hear one of their early 2012 collaborations live. Swift did one better and came up with a "Max Martin medley" of three Red and 1989 tracks.

‘Come Back, Be Here,' ‘The Way I Loved You' and ‘The Other Side of the Door' / ‘Fresh Out the Slammer' and ‘High Infidelity'

Swift performed two mash-ups of three songs during her first concert in Lisbon in May 2024. The guitar one featured the first time on the Eras Tour that "The Way I Loved You" made the setlist.

Swift's piano mash-up of the TTPD and Midnights songs sparked fan theories that she is confirming the viral April 29 speculation .

"Did she just confirm where she was on April 29th … was literally my first thought," an X user wrote.

Swift mentions April 29th on "High Infidelity," which fans have inferred is about cheating and believe occurred in 2016 when Swift attended Gigi Hadid 's birthday party solo amid her romance with Calvin Harris . Days later, Swift went to the Met Gala. Her now-ex, Joe Alwyn , was at the fashion fundraiser that same night. Swift never addressed what allegedly happened on April 29 in any year.

‘The Tortured Poets Department' and ‘Now That We Don't Talk'/ ‘You're On Your Own, Kid' and ‘Long Live'

For Swift's second Eras concert in Lisbon, she gave them a guitar surprise song that she had never played live before in the title track from TTPD. After playing nearly the entire song, she launched into "Now That We Don't Talk" from 1989 (Taylor's Version ). Her piano mash-up of "You're On Your Own, Kid" and "Long Live" had fans in their feels.

Both "You're On Your Own, Kid" and "Long Live" have widely been thought of as Swift's songs dedicated to Swifties. In the Midnights track, Swift mentions friendship bracelets. The lyric inspired concertgoers to trade their own beaded baubles at Eras shows. Meanwhile, "Long Live" has been Swift's ode to her supporters harking back to her Speak Now album. ("Long Live" had been added to the setlist when her Taylor's Version came out in 2023 but was removed to make room for a TTPD section.)

‘Sparks Fly' and ‘I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)' / ‘I Look In People's Windows' and ‘Snow On The Beach'

During her first show in Madrid, Swift had the crowd singing along when she mashed up the choruses of "Sparks Fly" and "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)" on the guitar. For the piano portion, Swift performed a heartfelt rendition of "Snow On The Beach" and "I Look In People's Windows."

While in the middle of singing the chorus of "Snow On The Beach," the crowd went wild at the thought Lana Del Rey would pop up on stage to perform the duet. However Swift shut down the fans' dreams in the post-chorus, by saying "It's just me guys, sorry," before transitioning back to the TTPD track.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Relationship Timeline

‘The Prophecy' and ‘Long Story Short' / ‘Fifteen' and ‘You're On Your Own Kid'

For Swift's first night in Lyon, France, she surprised concertgoers with a song she hadn't yet played live: "The Prophecy" from TTPD . Swift performed the track on the guitar, blending it with Evermore 's "Long Story Short." Moving to the piano, the pop star mashed-up two songs: "Fifteen" and "You're On Your Own, Kid."

Fans were quick to point out that these songs may be a nod to Kelce. In "The Prophecy," Swift sang about her hope to find love and wondered if she'll end up alone. In "Long Story Short," Swift makes it clear that she "survived" that doubt-filled period of being with the "wrong guy."

Her piano number is also believed to be a tribute to Kelce. Fearless ' "Fifteen" describes dating "the boy on the football team," a lyric which has resurfaced since she began dating the NFL player. "You're on Your Own, Kid," from 2022's Midnights , prompted fans to trade their own friendship bracelets at Swift's Eras Tour shows - which is exactly what Kelce did to give Swift his number in summer 2023.

‘Glitch' and ‘Everything Has Changed'

‘would've could've should've' and ‘i know places' / ‘tis the damn season' and ‘daylight'.

Swift performed two mash-ups during her first June 2024 concert in Edinburgh. Her guitar rendition of "Would've Could've Should've" and "I Know Places" was briefly halted when she spotted a fan looking for help.

"She's right there. I'm just gonna keep playing until somebody helps them, I'm gonna be singing this song," Swift told security guards. "Just let me know. I can do this all night."

‘The Bolter' and ‘Getaway Car' / ‘All the Girls You Loved Before' and ‘Crazier'

Swift mashed up the TTPD track with Reputation 's "Getaway Car" during her guitar surprise song during Edinburgh Night 2 in June 2024. She then migrated to the piano to perform "All the Girls You Loved Before" with a special mid-song introduction to "Crazier."

"You get extra credit points if you know this next song at all because it is really, really old," Swift quipped, referring to the Hannah Montana the Movie single.

The Edinburgh piano mashup was Swift's first time playing "Crazier" on the Eras Tour , which many fans think is a clue that the rerecorded version of her album Taylor Swift will feature "Crazier" as a vault track. As Swift sang the lyrics, the audience's LED bracelets lit up green. The emerald hue has since become a symbol of the debut record.

‘It's Nice to Have a Friend' and ‘Dorothea' / ‘Haunted' and ‘Exile'

During her June 2024 guitar surprise song set in Edinburgh, Swift performed the Lover song with Evermore 's "Dorothea." For the piano, Swift mashed up "Haunted" with the Folklore track.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that Swift had already put the breakup tracks - Speak Now (Taylor's Version) song and "Exile" - together during her Sydney Eras Tour performance in February 2024.

‘This Is What You Came For' and ‘Gold Rush' / ‘The Great War' and ‘You're Losing Me'

Swift noted during her first Eras Tour concert in Liverpool that she wanted to surprise the crowd with her acoustic pick. Enter her decision to play "This Is What You Came For," Calvin Harris and Rihanna 's 2016 duet. Swift, who previously dated Harris, is credited as a songwriter for the track under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg. At the June 2024 concert, Swift paired "This Is What You Came For" with the Evermore song "Gold Rush."

On piano, Swift combined "The Great War" and "You're Losing Me," both from Midnights.
