One prediction market prices this story:
- Taylor Swift — the market puts it at 29%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Taylor Swift announces a new tour before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if she does not make such an announcement by that date. Readers often mistake the linked story about Queen for relevant information, but only Taylor Swift's actions determine the outcome.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
