The “Shake It Off” hitmaker‘s performance at the Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom in June is still, at this point, set to take place. There is no information on her website as to any cancellations or postponed shows.
“No one has a crystal ball to see exactly where we will all be 15 weeks from now, but we are keeping our fingers firmly crossed that it will be here at Worthy Farm for the greatest show on Earth!” festival co-organizer Emily Eavis said in a statement.
It is all part of a handful of Swift’s appearances in Europe throughout the month of June before she is set to kick off her Lover Fest in the United States in July.
