Swift announced the move with a post over social media Friday, reading in part:

"Fighting COVID_19 is an unprecedented challenge for our global community and the safty and wellbeing of fans should always be the top priority. Health organiszations and governments around the world have strongly discouraged large public gathers for an undetermined period of time... ...in an effort to keep fans safe and help prevent the spread of COVID-19, sadly the decision has been made to cancel all Taylor Swift live appearances and performances this year."
