Pleasure World Tour

On April 28, 2025, Mirror Media reported that Tsai was planning a new concert tour, scheduled to take place at the Taipei Dome in December of the same year, spanning eight shows from Christmas to New Year's Eve. This will mark her first-ever concerts at the Taipei Dome, making her the first female artist to hold eight consecutive shows at the venue. Each show is expected to accommodate about 40,000 attendees, totaling approximately 320,000 audience members.^[2]

On July 25, 2025, Tsai released her fifteenth studio album Pleasure. The album centers on the concept of the seven deadly sins, exploring multiple dimensions of desire, portraying it as both an inherent human instinct and a driving force toward transcendence through pleasure.^[3]

On October 31, 2025, Tsai officially announced her Pleasure World Tour, set to kick off on December 30, 2025, at the Taipei Dome. Ticket sales will begin across major ticketing platforms starting November 22, 2025.^[4]

This concert, themed "A Magical Journey Exploring Human Desire and Self-Awakening", created a fantastical "Pleasure Universe" worldview. In Chapter One: "The Girl in the Garden [Exodus]", the journey began with the "Festival Messengers" sounding horns, as a giant "Festival Bull" slowly circled the stage. Tsai, adorned in a double-faced helmet symbolizing "pleasure and pain", transformed into the "Guardian of Desire". She ascended the "Awakening Summit", surrounded by the "Soul Pillars", and, upon removing her helmet, officially launched the concert with her performance of "Seven". Following this, she shed her luxurious outer garment, symbolizing a transformation into the "Earth Spirit", and performed "Lady in Red". She then summoned her mount, the "Desire Serpent", to accompany her during the performance of "Medusa". Tsai continued the high-energy atmosphere with "DIY" and "I'm Not Yours", building towards the climax of the opening act.

In Chapter Two: "Pleasure Echoes Pain", the second chapter maintained the momentum with a series of electrifying performances. Tsai powerfully sang through "Necessary Evil", "Agent J", "The Great Artist", "Karma", "Hot Winter", "Bloody Mary", "Good Girl", "Sweet Guilty Pleasure", "Woman's Work", and "Honey Trap", keeping the audience on their feet, immersed in the intense energy of the show. Chapter Three: "Surrender the Fool" shifted the mood to a more introspective and lyrical atmosphere. Tsai, dressed in a golden vest and bridal veil, transformed into the "Golden Silk Diva". Facing the stage installation, "The Book of Truth",which symbolized "Unfinished Words", she delicately performed "Fish Love", "Womnxly", "Compromise", and a medley of "The Third Person and I", "Sky", "Pretence", and "The Smell of Lemon Grass". Each song poignantly explored themes of confusion, growth, and emotional release in love. She closed this reflective chapter with the haunting "Layers".

In Chapter Four: "Before the Truth", Tsai evolved into the "Illusion Venus", riding the "Winged Pegasus", a symbol of love and freedom. Dancers, dressed as fantastical creatures such as "Butterfly Seahorses", "Long-Necked Reindeers", and "Elephant-Nosed Fishes", accompanied her as she circled the venue. The performance continued with "Safari", followed by a medley of "Equal in the Darkness", "Sun Will Never Set", "A Wonder in Madrid", "Say Love You", "Hubby", "Butterfly", and "Magic". Through a blend of dance, visual effects, and dreamlike storytelling, the audience was transported into an immersive theme park of wonder and fantasy. Finally, in Chapter Five: "The Garden of Her Own", Tsai emerged as the "Queen of Pleasure". With her transformation complete, she took the stage to perform "Pleasure", "Bravo Lover", "Ugly Beauty", "Dancing Diva", "Stars Align", and "Play", bringing the magical journey to an unforgettable close.^[15]

The tickets for the first Taipei shows, scheduled from December 30, 2025, to January 1, 2026, were made available for priority purchase on November 22, 2025. The three priority qualification categories (Cathay United CUBE credit card holders, Taiwan Mobile users, and Tsai's official website members) attracted over 270,000 people vying for 30,000 limited tickets, which sold out quickly after being released. The following day, when general sales opened at noon, the ticketing website saw a peak of 940,000 simultaneous users attempting to purchase tickets. At 5 p.m. the same day, the ticketing system conducted a ticket clearing process and released some remaining tickets, which were also sold out rapidly. In the end, all 90,000 general admission tickets were sold, bringing the total of 120,000 tickets across the three shows to a complete sellout, setting a new record for ticket sales at Tsai's concerts.^[16][17]

According to United Daily News' Hsu Chin-jung, for Tsai, this concert was not a coronation but rather an evolution and a rewriting of records. The expansion of the concert venue and the increase in audience numbers also brought higher risks. However, Tsai is accustomed to high-pressure environments and meticulous control of details. While the concert appeared to be a comprehensive upgrade on the surface, it in fact redefined performance rules and introduced innovative formats. Produced with a budget of NT$900 million, the concert featured 30 songs accompanied by lighting, video, and various high-end props, forming a "Pleasure Universe" that enhanced audience immersion. Unlike other artists, who often choose safer or classic songs in large venues, Tsai continued to take risks between popularity and experimentation, balancing commercial expectations with her personal standards. She has been described as a "tightrope-walking woman", pursuing increasingly difficult stage challenges rather than relying on past hits to maintain audience engagement.^[18]

Taiwanese musician Adam Hsu noted that the key to Tsai's concert lay not in its high production cost, but in her effective use of resources and overall execution. He praised Tsai for maintaining a high level of discipline over the long term, resulting in consistent standards in physical condition, stage movement, and performance control, and observed that she is now able to deliver performances involving risk and innovation based on trust in a professional creative team.^[19] Taiwanese choreographer Bruce Chang stated that Tsai's concert surpassed the framework of a traditional pop concert in both structure and production, demonstrating a highly integrated stage design and a narrative-driven performance format with a mature level of completion. He noted that Tsai displayed a stable and composed performance state, and that the concert had an influence on the production standards of large-scale C-pop concerts.^[20]

On May 19, 2026, High Scream, the tour's lead production and lighting designer, received a Bronze Award in the General – Live Events & Experiences category at the 2026 Telly Awards for its non-broadcast video productions showcasing the tour.^[21]
