Taylor Swift Closes Out Her Eras Tour With Record-Breaking $2 Billion in Ticket Sales—But What's Next?

I think she's got something up her sleeve...

To say that Taylor Swift is at the top of her game feels like an understatement. The 34-year-old pop star recently wrapped her massively successful Eras Tour, which brought in a staggering $2 billion and made history as the highest-grossing concert tour of all time. In addition to this, she collected her 14th Grammy Award and released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets' Department, which already earned six Grammy nods. Oh, and I can't forget about her chart-topping re-releases, including Fearless (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version).

So, now that the "Cruel Summer" singer has completed her tour—which, FYI, included 142 live shows across 21 countries—millions of Swifties (me included) are asking the same question: What's next? Will she go big and potentially surprise fans with another grand tour? Or perhaps pull a Beyoncé (again) with another surprise album?

Given the length of her recent tour, it's hard for me to imagine Swift scheduling another big tour so soon, but it's not that much of a stretch to predict new music. I already know that Swift is preparing to re-release her self-titled debut album from 2006 and Reputation from 2017. (Psst, check out PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint's fascinating theory about the latter here.)

But given her incredible talent for songwriting, I'm almost certain that she's busy working on her next release. In fact, I'm willing the bet the songstress has already gotten a headstart on her new music, complete with clues for her fans to decode. Per BBC, USA Today reporter Bryan West, said, "In her new book [The Eras Tour Book], she said, 'See you next era', so there have been reports that she's working on new music." 

Another prediction? I'm guessing the singer will gift Swifties with yet another movie, given that filming occurred at her final three Vancouver shows. However, I suspect this one will be a documentary rather than a concert film, since behind-the-scenes footage was also captured.

West said, "We've seen film crews at many of the gigs, so I'd not be shocked if she's been shooting a documentary this entire time."

I ought to brace myself because it sounds like Swift definitely has something up her sleeve.
