A recent error in an auction listing from Unbridled Eve Derby Gala erroneously offered a “signed guitar by Taylor Swift and two concert tickets during her upcoming 2026 tour.” This announcement has sparked concern and excitement among fans.
Unbridled Eve is a charitable organization that holds an annual gala on the eve of the Kentucky Derby, featuring a six-and-a-half-hour event complete with an auction and a lively dance party that lasts over three hours. Notably, the duration of the dance party is reminiscent of the time Taylor Swift spent performing each night on her Eras Tour, which captivated audiences for nearly two years. However, the pop star currently has no scheduled plans for a tour in 2026.
In response to the confusion, Unbridled Eve issued a statement extending their apologies to the Swiftie community for the excitement generated by this “inadvertently listed” auction item. They clarified it should have read “Guitar signed by Taylor Swift and two tickets for a concert during her next tour,” emphasizing that they have no information regarding when such a tour might take place.
While some fans expressed skepticism regarding the original listing, others clung to the hope that Swift might return to the stage sooner than expected. Recently, a dedicated fan account on social media platform X tallied the days since Swift’s last public appearance (56 days), her last Instagram post (115 days), and her final Eras Tour show (also 115 days).

The Eras Tour concluded in December 2024 after an impressive 149 performances, with Taylor Swift dedicating over 520 hours to the stage, showcasing a setlist that includes nearly 50 songs and the release of three albums—two re-recordings alongside her expansive 31-track release, The Tortured Poets Department. This monumental tour generated over $2 billion in ticket sales, securing its place as the highest-grossing tour in history.
During her final surprise song segment, Swift managed to perform five songs: “A Place in This World,” “New Romantics,” “Long Live,” “New Year’s Day,” and “The Manuscript.” Notably, even before the tour’s conclusion, she released the The Eras Tour concert film, keeping the energy and excitement alive for her fans well beyond the tour itself. Fans continue to hold out hope for her eventual return to the stage.
