One Reddit user speculates that Swift might tour from summer to late fall [14]: "I'd really love to see her tour from around June to November/December as I'm pretty sure the pandemic will be much more subdued then."

Another user thinks Swift might not do a tour for "Lover," "Folklore," or "Evermore" and will instead focus on her entire library of music [15]: "I think she's at that point in her career where she can drop doing tours for each era and instead do big shows showcasing songs from multiple albums."
