Taylor Swift fans left speculating after raffle mix up

Taylor Swift has sent fans into a flurry of excitement and confusion after an upcoming Kentucky Derby raffle sparked speculation among Swifties about her possible involvement.

The 12th annual Unbridled Eve Derby Gala revealed a selection of items and experiences this week that will be available in its silent auction.

One of the featured lots was a Taylor Swift Package, which included a signed guitar by the singer and tickets to two concerts on her upcoming 2026 tour.

Fans were sent into a frenzy, as Taylor had only recently concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour in December and had not announced any plans for a 2025 tour.

However, a correction was issued just as the audience began speculating that information on the singer's next tour may have been unintentionally leaked.

The auction’s Taylor Swift Package was later updated to include “two concert tickets for a concert during her next tour,” though no specific year was mentioned.

Tammy York-Day, co-founder of the gala, clarified in a press release that the original listing referencing a 2026 tour was incorrect.

Will Taylor Swift perform in 2026?

Tickets for the 2026 Taylor Swift tour were inadvertently put up for auction at a Kentucky Derby gala. In a correction, the gala organisers said they were unaware of a 2026 tour.
