Singer Taylor Swift performs at Z100's Jingle Ball 2014 at Madison Square Garden in New York on Dec. 12, 2014. Andrew Kelly—Reuters  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Oct 10, 2017 10:06 PM UTC It’s been a full eight months since [Taylor Swift](http://time.com/4970525/taylor-swift-on-tom-petty/) has graced a stage for an audience, but at long last fans can rest assured she’ll be making a return to singing in the spotlight. On Dec. 1, the _Reputation_ singer will take to the mic for KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball 2017 show in Los Angeles, parent company iHeartRadio announced today. She’ll also sing a day later in San Jose for [Poptopia](http://997now.cbslocal.com/2017/10/06/poptopia-2017-general-info/), on Dec. 7 for Chicago’s [B96 Jingle Bash](http://b96.cbslocal.com/jinglebash/) and Dec. 8 in New York’s Madison Square Garden for a second round of Jingle Ball. These mark the first official public announcements of upcoming Swift shows. She hasn’t performed live for an audience since Feb. 5, when she [serenaded a crowd](http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/super-bowl/7678029/taylor-swift-super-bowl-concert-houston-better-man-i-dont-wanna-live-forever) in Houston, TX for a pre-Super Bowl event. These are not solo Swift showcases, though: she’ll be joined for all four events by a slew of other chart-topping stars, including longtime pal [Ed Sheeran,](http://time.com/4890112/ed-sheeran-amnesty-international-refugees/) festival favorites The Chainsmokers, British crooner Sam Smith, and powerhouse vocalist [Demi Lovato,](http://time.com/4962131/demi-lovato-interview/) among many more. While [tickets are available](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/arMrB0inkJ02U1?domain=iheartradio.com) [to the events](http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/10/06/ed-sheeran-taylor-swift-headlines-san-jose-poptopia-concert/), fans outside these cities are in luck: both Jingle Ball shows will stream live and will be televised on the CW on Dec. 14\. Meanwhile, Swift’s upcoming album _Reputation_ is out Nov. 10\. Her first single, [“Look What You Made Me Do,”](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/) rose to the top of the [_Billboard_ Hot 100](http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100) soon after its release. Now in its fifth consecutive year, Jingle Ball includes shows in 11 cities, and this year features such artists as [Fifth Harmony](http://time.com/4807958/fifth-harmony-foursome-down/), Niall Horan, Nick Jonas, Julia Michaels, [Liam Payne](http://time.com/4794885/song-of-the-summer-2017/item/strip-that-down-liam-payne-feat-quavo/), Kesha and Camila Cabello. [Poptopia](http://997now.cbslocal.com/2017/10/06/poptopia-2017-general-info/) is also an annual holiday-centric music celebration, as is [Jingle Bash](http://b96.cbslocal.com/jinglebash/), with similar star-studded lineups in store. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4977034/taylor-swift-show-2017/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4977034/taylor-swift-show-2017/"},"headline":"Here's When Taylor Swift Will Finally Be Performing This Year","datePublished":"2017-10-10T22:06:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:54.699Z","description":"The 'Reputation' singer just scheduled four dates for holiday showcases in early December, alongside pal Ed Sheeran and many more.","url":"https://time.com/4977034/taylor-swift-show-2017/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Taylor Swift"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9cc4801c302e053c/69876e8b5f570f1e0eb142d7/taylor-swift1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9cc4801c302e053c/69876e8b5f570f1e0eb142d7/taylor-swift1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Singer Taylor Swift performs at Z100's Jingle Ball 2014 at Madison Square Garden in New York on Dec. 12, 2014.","caption":"Singer Taylor Swift performs at Z100's Jingle Ball 2014 at Madison Square Garden in New York on Dec. 12, 2014.","creditText":"Andrew Kelly—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4977034/taylor-swift-show-2017/","name":"Here's When Taylor Swift Will Finally Be Performing This Year"}}]}] ```
