Taylor Swift has been the special attraction of countless award shows and events throughout her illustrious career. From sold-out stadiums to the Grammys, Taylor has performed globally in front of millions of Swifties.

Taylor Swift's ongoing Eras Tour has broken all records and claimed the title of the highest-grossing concert tour in history. By the end of 2023, the tour had already crossed the $1 billion mark in revenue, beating Elton Johns Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour by a big margin.


Taylor Swift was a notable absentee in these three events

There are three major events where the Grammy winner has never performed. From the Super Bowl to the Coachella, here are the top three occasions where Taylor Swift was listed as a major absentee.

Taylor Swift's performance at the Glastonbury Festival 2024 was supposed to be one of the major headlines of the event. However, her recent addition of 14 new shows to the Eras Tour schedule has made it impossible for the 34-year-old to pull it off.

The Glastonbury Festival starts on June 26, with Taylor scheduled to appear on the closing night on June 30. However, her recent Eras Tour additions will see the Blank Space singer perform in Dublin from June 28 to June 30.

The Grammy winner and Glastonbury Festival have had a sad relationship over the years. The songwriter was supposed to perform at Glastonbury 2020, but the show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She didn't even perform when the festival returned in 2022 and 2023.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show has always seen juggernauts like Rihanna, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyonce, and several others in its traditional 13-minute medley between the two halves. The halftime show is so popular that the curiosity about who will perform is almost as rampant as that of the actual match!

However, Taylor Swift has never performed at this event for many significant reasons. For a long time, the Grammy winner declined offers to perform at the Super Bowl because of her partnership with Coca-Cola, the rival brand of the Super Bowl's Halftime sponsor, Pepsi.

Apple Music took over the sponsorship in 2022 and approached Taylor Swift with an offer. However, the singer had to decline because she was busy with her re-records for her Taylor's Version albums at that time.

Fans suspected she would perform at the Super Bowl this year because her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was playing in the event with the Kansas City Chiefs. That desire remained unfulfilled, but Usher's thrilling performance lit the stage on fire. Fans hope that Apple Music will be able to convince the Fortnight singer to perform at this historical event in the coming years.

Taylor Swift has never performed at Coachella before and has maintained the record this year. The 34-year-old was seen dancing to Jack Antonoff's Bleachers performance and her pal Ice Spice's set with Travis Kelce. However, she never took the stage, to the disappointment of her fans.

Many fans speculated that she would take the stage during the second Coachella weekend to publicize her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. However, Taylor was only seen joshing around with the crowd and getting cuddly with her boyfriend.

Even though many wore her iconic friendship bracelets, Taylor Swift wasn't seen behind the mic at the Coachella. Fans hope that she will tick the entire checklist by performing in all three shows after her highly lucrative Eras Tour comes to a close.
