Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour will make stops at a number of stadiums across the United States next year. But local fans won’t get to see her play the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans because of ongoing renovations in preparation for Super Bowl LIX, according to WWL Radio.

Doug Thornton, Executive Vice President of ASM Global, the company that manages the Superdome, told the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District board the singer was eyeing a June 23 stopover in New Orleans on her tour, the station reported.

But the Superdome is in the midst of a $450 million renovation that isn’t scheduled to be completed until 2024. The city will host Super Bowl LIX in February 2025.

“We unfortunately couldn’t make the dates available because of the construction. So, we missed out on that,” Thornton said, according to the report.

Swift last performed at the Superdome when her Reputation tour made a stop in New Orleans in September 2018.

She did pay a recent visit to the Crescent City, attending a show Dec. 10 at Preservation Hall.
