2023 was Taylor Swift’s golden year. From reaching massive levels of success with The Eras Tour to even breaking records with her concert film, the 34-year-old was at the top of the world. However, it looks like 2024-2025 might hold a little competition in store for the singer. Recently, it was announced that her rival, Kanye West, would be making his touring comeback for his ‘Vultures’ album.

With both artists planning world tours, let us take a look at whether the two could end up going head to head with their concerts and record breaks.

Kanye West might have dominated the scene in the mid to early 2000s. However, recently, Taylor Swift’s popularity seems to have taken him over. Now, for the first time in a while, it looks like both the artists will be on a world tour at the same time. With both of them even hitting the same countries, let us see if they could cross paths while making history.

Do Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s tour dates overlap?

Just hours ago, Kanye West announced his plans for a world tour. Although the rapper’s dates have not been confirmed, his tour will begin on June 22nd and continue into 2025. His rival, Taylor Swift, also has tour dates set for the year. However, there would be no way for the artists to bump into each other with the singer promoting her new album and rushing to perform.

While Swift will also be making her way to the UK, Japan, and Australia, the singer’s dates are much closer than the rapper’s. That means that though their fans might get to enjoy the best of both worlds, the 46-year-old and the ‘Mean’ singer would be missing each other by almost a year. However, it does mean that comparing their concert tours will be a little easier.

Although West’s comeback has been highly anticipated, there is a chance Swift could come out on top if their tours ever went head to head.

Who has had more success on tour, Kanye West or Taylor Swift?

Back in 2013-14, Kanye West was at the top of his game. While other stars like Taylor Swift had just started to make their way up the ladder of fame, the rapper had already reached the top. During ‘The Yeezus Tour’, he ended up grossing $95 million, and it even became the highest-grossing hip-hop tour of all time. However, the 46-year-old lost his spot to Drake and Kendrick Lamar, who are still competing for it.

As for Swift, last year she took touring to a whole new level. ‘The Eras Tour’ not only became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time with well over $1 billion in revenue but also was voted one of the top experiences of the year. While putting Ye and the singer together at the height of her career seems rather unfair, there is a chance that fans of the rapper will find their way back once he goes on tour.

Kanye West vs Taylor Swift: Which artist has more streamers?

Ever since Kanye West’s controversial streak began, the rapper has lost a lot of fans. While that has resulted in him becoming Spotify’s 18th artist with the most monthly listeners, he has lost out on a lot more. However, his rival, Taylor Swift, seems to be a fan favorite at the moment. Since last year, the singer has managed to keep her numbers at over 100 million listeners every month.

While Ye’s fans might not be too pleased, the singer might just take the lead. With more people seeming to be interested in Swift’s music, it looks as though her international world tour just might end up breaking records once again as he gets left behind.
