Tan was named to the team selected to compete at both the Asian Games in Incheon and World Championships in Nanning. Alongside teammates Yao Jinnan, Shang Chunsong, Huang Huidan, Chen Siyi, and Bai Yawen, the Chinese team won gold in Incheon ahead of the North Korean and Japanese teams and silver in Nanning behind the United States and ahead of Russia. Individually at Worlds, Tan placed third in the uneven bars qualifications with a score of 15.133 points but was unable to compete in the final due to the two-per-country rule; teammates Yao and Huang placed ahead of her in first and second place, respectively.
