Can you tile over drywall in shower?

No. It is okay to install tile on the drywall in low moisture areas such as the kitchen counters. Showers and bathtubs are areas of high moisture and therefore the risk of water going through is high. If that happens, you can expect drywall damage, mold, and even pest infestations. In this case it is recommended to use Hardibacker or concrete board.
