Additional artists will be joining Swift at the two festival events; they'll be announced later.
On Twitter, the singer wrote, "The 'Lover' album is open fields, sunsets, + SUMMER. I want to perform it in a way that feels authentic. I want to go to some places I haven’t been and play festivals. Where we didn’t have festivals, we made some. Introducing, Lover Fest East + West!"
