Supposedly, Taylor Swift is going to headline Glastonbury Festival 2020, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, it was canceled. Rumors of her inclusion on the festival lineup came about again, but her "Eras" tour made her unavailable because of the conflicting dates of the two events.
As for the issue of diversifying the Glastonbury Festival 2023 lineup, Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis pointed out that they were trying to balance the bill on selecting the right artist for the event.
"[We're] entirely focused on balancing our bill. It's not just about gender, it's about every aspect of diversity," Eavis told NME. "We're probably one of the only big shows that's really focused on this." She also pointed out that 43% of the confirmed Glastonbury Festival 2023 lineup, were colored artists or composed of non-white members.
As for tickets, Glastonbury Festival 2023 tickets were already sold out since October 2022.
