These shows will be the first time Swift performs live following her two-year hiatus and the release of two new singles "Look What You Made Me Do," whose music video broke records with 552 million views on YouTube and counting, and "...Ready for It."

These live shows could also end up being the first time fans will get to watch her perform her new music from her album, which will be released on Nov. 10.
The excitement is not only due to the fact that Swift will finally be back on stage, but also because fans expect something new and bold from her now that the "Shake It Off" singer has officially shed the "old Taylor," who she declared "dead" in "Look What You Made Me Do."
Swift is yet to announce a tour for "Reputation," but Entertainment Weekly has reason to believe that the singer will do one next year.
In a press release sent to the publication by Swift's team, there is a mention of the Taylor Swift Tix powered by Ticketmaster Verified Fan, which gives fans the "opportunity to purchase tickets to an upcoming concert show."
The "Bad Blood" singer apparently partnered with Ticketmaster Verified Fan for "U.S. dates," which is believed to be pertaining to an upcoming tour.
For now, however, nothing is set in stone yet so those who have been waiting for Swift to hit the stage can first watch her at the aforementioned December events.
