It has been confirmed that Taylor Swift will not be performing at next year’s Glastonbury Festival. According to an insider, the pop star was approached to perform but has declined the offer in a courteous manner. Fans may recall that Taylor was scheduled to perform at the 2020 festival, which was unfortunately cancelled due to the global health crisis. Alongside other musical greats like Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar, Taylor was set to rock the stage at the iconic Somerset event.
Bad news for Taylor Swift fans, as the singer has cancelled her performance at Glastonbury 2022. According to a source who spoke with The Sun, Taylor declined the offer due to timing issues. Although she would love to headline the festival someday, her priority right now is re-recording her old albums. While this may come as a disappointment, fans can look forward to new and improved versions of her classic songs.
According to a source, the singer has politely rejected an invitation to perform at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, which has been cancelled twice due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The lineup for the festival was expected to include many of the artists who were scheduled to perform in 2020, with Kendrick already confirmed to perform on Sunday. Billie Eilish will perform on Friday at the Pyramid stage, while Diana Ross will take the coveted Sunday legends slot. The identity of the Saturday headliner remains a mystery. Taylor Swift had announced in December 2019 that she would be headlining the festival during its 50th anniversary, tweeting her excitement about the event.
According to reports, Taylor Swift has shifted her attention from performing at this year’s Glastonbury festival to re-releasing her albums. While many had expected much of the 2020 lineup to roll over, Festival co-organiser Emily Eavis expressed her excitement for Swift joining their fiftieth birthday celebration: “Taylor is one of the biggest and best artists on the planet, and we’re just so pleased that she’s coming here to Worthy Farm.” Swift herself expressed disappointment at not being able to perform at the festival, saying that she had been looking forward to performing in new places and doing things she hadn’t done before, like Glastonbury. Despite the cancellation, she understands that it was the right decision.
There was some disappointment for festival-goers as Glastonbury was once again cancelled for the second year running in 2021, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, singer Taylor Swift has been busy re-releasing recordings of some of her earliest albums to regain ownership over the masters of her back catalogue. In more positive news, it was announced in October that Billie Eilish would make history as the “youngest ever solo headliner” at this year’s Glastonbury. Despite her success, the Bad Guy singer recently admitted that she had no idea what Glastonbury was until after she played the festival.
The popular celebrity, who hails from Los Angeles, graced The Other Stage at the acclaimed Glastonbury Festival in 2019. However, she later revealed that she was completely oblivious to the event’s significance when she received the invitation to perform. In fact, she was ashamed to confess that she had no clue what Glastonbury was all about. She admitted to feeling slightly uncivilised as she was unaware of such a cultural phenomenon. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the festival’s cancellation for a second consecutive year in 2021. Nevertheless, it is set to make a grand return between June 22 and June 26, 2022.
It has been officially announced that Billie Eilish will be headlining at Glastonbury this year in October. This will mark her second appearance at the festival, as she previously performed on The Other Stage in 2019. Get ready for an unforgettable performance by the talented singer!
