Did Taylor Swift Just Slyly Announce When The 'Lover' Tour Will Begin?

Now that Taylor Swift's seventh studio album Lover has been released into the world, fans are getting antsy for a tour announcement. And though the pop star hasn't let us know when (or if) we can expect her to hit the road, Swifties are convinced she dropped a hint during her CBS Sunday Morning interview that aired today (August 25).
โThat puts me into what I call a โpanic spiral.'โ she said about not being able to plan things too far in advance. When asked how far ahead she looks, she said, โSix months? Just because I have to plan shows and stuff. But, I donโt know what Iโll do after this album and I think thatโs great. I tell myself itโs ungrateful to just assume that you have 20 years. Be stoked that you have today.โ
Naturally, that seemingly innocuous comment threw fans into a frenzy, convinced that the Lover tour is going to kick off six months from now, which happens to be February โ the month of love. Check out fan reactions below.
#LOVER the Tour is expected to begin on February of 2020 according to most Swifties... this is because FEBRUARY IS THE MONTH OF โLOVEโ... ๐ obviously... โบ๏ธ pic.twitter.com/RmF6gVxvaT

Elsewhere in the interview, Swift discussed re-recording her back catalog, her Reputation days, and how she's grown thicker skin, or "bark" as she likes to call it. Watch clips from the interview here.
