The American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has headlined six concert tours to support her albums. She has additionally performed at festivals, awards shows, benefit concerts, and sporting events, as well as on TV and radio.
Before officially starting her music career, Swift performed the national anthem of the United States, "The Star-Spangled Banner", at various sporting events. After the release of her debut studio album, Taylor Swift (2006), she toured as an opening act for the country musicians Rascal Flatts, George Strait, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill. In spring 2009, she promoted her second studio album, Fearless (2008), by headlining several festivals in the United States and a promotional tour in Australia. Her first headlining concert tour, the Fearless Tour, ran in 2009–2010; it visited six countries and grossed over $66 million from 118 shows. She also headlined festivals outside North America, including the V Festival in the United Kingdom and the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan.
Swift promoted her third studio album, Speak Now (2010), with televised performances in the United States, Japan, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. The Speak Now World Tour followed in 2011–2012, covering 110 shows and visiting 18 territories across Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. It was the highest-grossing tour by a female artist and by a solo artist in 2011 and grossed $123 million. Her fourth and fifth studio albums, Red (2012) and 1989 (2014), were both promoted with numerous television and award-show performances. The Red Tour, which ran in 2013–2014, became the highest-grossing country tour after its completion with $150 million grossed from 86 shows in 12 countries and was her last headlining tour as a country artist. 1989, the album that transformed Swift's status from a country musician to a pop star, was supported by the 1989 World Tour (2015); it encompassed 85 dates in 11 countries and was the highest-grossing tour of 2015 with $250 million.
Swift's sixth studio album, Reputation (2017), was supported by the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018), which was her first all-stadium tour—its North American leg grossed $202.3 million and set the record for the highest-grossing North American tour of all time, breaking the previous record held by the 1989 World Tour. The Reputation Stadium Tour was 2018's highest-grossing tour by a female artist, accumulating $345.7 million. Swift promoted Lover (2019) with numerous television and awards show performances. From March 2023 to December 2024, Swift embarked on the Eras Tour, which supported all of the albums in her discography. Covering 149 dates and spanning five continents, it is the first concert tour in history to surpass $1 billion in revenue, grossing $2 billion and attracting 10 million in attendance.
