Adele on Taylor Swift’s Epic Eras Tour Marathon —”Isn’t she finishing up soon? That’s been a long f*cking tour. Girl needs some rest! She deserves her rest.”

Adele to Taylor Swift: ‘Girl Needs Some Rest After That Long F*cking Tour!’

In a recent candid interview, Adele shared her thoughts on Taylor Swift’s seemingly endless Eras Tour, which has captivated fans worldwide since it began in March 2023. While the tour has already broken numerous records and seen Swift perform across multiple continents, Adele’s comments reflect a rare moment of honesty about the physical and emotional toll such an extensive touring schedule can take on an artist.

“I mean, it’s been a long f*cking tour,” Adele said with a laugh, before getting serious. “Girl needs some rest. She’s been going nonstop. It’s not just about the concerts—there’s the travel, the rehearsals, the media, everything that comes with it. At some point, you need to recharge.”

Adele, herself a global superstar who has taken breaks between major album cycles, knows firsthand the pressures that come with the spotlight. She has always been vocal about the importance of self-care and the need to disconnect from the demands of fame, especially after a major project. So, it’s no surprise that she empathizes with Swift as she wraps up her Eras Tour (or at least, approaches the final leg) and prepares for what will likely be a well-earned break.

A Grueling, Record-Breaking Journey

Swift’s Eras Tour has been nothing short of legendary. The singer has played more than 100 shows to millions of fans across the globe, from North America to Europe and Asia, performing her extensive catalog of hits spanning more than a decade. In addition to breaking box office records, Swift’s Eras Tour has become a cultural phenomenon, with each stop providing fans with a unique, highly emotional experience.

However, the tour has also been notoriously grueling. Fans have witnessed Swift performing for three hours or more, sometimes multiple nights in a row, giving it her all. In interviews, Swift has been open about the mental and physical strain she’s experienced while on the road, including staying in peak condition and staying mentally sharp during the lengthy run. It’s clear the artist is committed to giving fans the best possible experience, but as Adele pointed out, even the most seasoned performers need time to rest.

Touring Takes Its Toll

Adele’s comments also come as a reminder of the hidden costs of being a touring artist. Beyond the glamour and excitement of performing in front of thousands, touring involves constant travel, managing physical exhaustion, and handling the emotional ups and downs that come with being away from home for long stretches of time. For someone like Swift, who is known for putting everything into her performances, the toll on her health and well-being cannot be ignored.

Though Swift has not made any public statements suggesting she feels burnt out, her loyal fans have been quick to notice the toll the tour is taking. From canceled shows due to illness to the sheer magnitude of the tour itself, there’s an understanding that such a marathon is not sustainable without breaks. Adele, who has been through similar experiences, seems to feel for Swift, knowing the importance of mental and physical recovery after such an intense period of activity.

The Value of Rest

Adele, who took a several-year break between albums before releasing 30 in 2021, has been outspoken about the necessity of rest in the music industry. After a whirlwind 2016 album cycle and subsequent world tour, she took a step back to focus on her personal life and health. During that time, she reflected on the toll that touring and constant public scrutiny had on her well-being.

“I didn’t realize how much I needed to stop,” Adele said in a past interview. “It was only when I stepped away and took time for myself that I realized how much of me had been given away on tour. Rest isn’t just for your body, it’s for your soul.”

Now, she’s advocating for her friend and fellow pop icon to do the same. For Adele, the importance of taking time off isn’t just about recuperating physically, it’s about maintaining mental health and personal well-being.

What’s Next for Taylor Swift?

As Swift nears the end of her Eras Tour, fans are eagerly awaiting what she’ll do next. While it’s unclear whether Swift will take an immediate break or jump straight into another project, one thing is certain: she’s earned it.

After completing the Eras Tour, a massive success both critically and commercially, Swift will likely take time to reflect on her next steps—whether it’s more music, more touring, or simply enjoying some well-deserved downtime. Whatever she chooses, it’s clear she’s not only an artist at the top of her game, but a testament to what hard work and perseverance can accomplish.

Until then, Adele’s words serve as a reminder: even the brightest stars need a break. After a journey as exhausting as the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has more than earned her rest.
