Swift to broadcast special Paris concert

The coronavirus forced Taylor Swift to cancel her 2020 tour dates, but fans will still get yourself a chance to start to see the pop star in concert in a particular set to air this month.

The megastar whose 'Lover' album arrived last fall announced Friday a one-hour concert special filmed last September at Paris' Olympia Theatre will air May 17 on ABC, following season finale of the hit show American Idol. The function will be available the very next day for streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

'Excited to announce the City of Lover Concert! We filmed my show in Paris in September and thought it'd be fun to talk about,' tweeted the 30-year-old pop phenom well-known for hits like 'Shake It Off.' Last month Swift -- who was simply set to headline the Glastonbury festival before it fell victim to the pandemic -- said her US and Brazil dates will be rescheduled for 2021. 'I'm so sad I will not manage to see you guys in concert this year, but I know here is the right decision,' Swift tweeted. 

'Please, please remain healthy and safe. I'll see you on stage the moment I can but now what's important is committing to this quarantine, with regard to most of us.'

Last month Swift participated in a virtual marathon concert celebrating health workers, among the Lady Gaga-curated event's top-billed stars that also included The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder and Billie Eilish.
