Taylor Swift recently completed her Eras Tour, which included over 10 million attendees across five continents, but did not include Africa. Fans are questioning this absence, especially after a viral TikTok video showed Kenyans singing her song. Despite being the most-streamed female artist in South Africa, Swift's tour did not stop there. Music industry experts suggest logistical challenges and costs may have influenced the decision, as routing tours often prioritizes practicality and profitability. Fans in South Africa have previously petitioned for Swift to perform in their country, highlighting a strong desire for her concerts. While there is hope for future tours, it remains uncertain if Africa will be included.
