Taylor Swift Releases More Dates for ‘Speak Now’ World Tour
Taylor Swift has announced more dates for her Speak Now World tour 2011, which kicks off February 9 in Singapore, as we reported last month. Next year's trek is currently scheduled to play 87 shows in 19 countries spanning four continents and will include six stadium shows -- Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., Detroit's Ford Field, Pittsburgh's Heinz Field, Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium and Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
During the first few months of 2011, Taylor will play shows overseas in Asia and Europe, before kicking off her North American tour in Omaha, Neb., on May 27. Tour dates in Australia and New Zealand will be announced at a later date.
"I'm so excited to go back out on tour again in 2011!" says Taylor. "The Fearless Tour was so much fun and even more unforgettable than I ever imagined, and I can't wait to get back out and play my new music from 'Speak Now!' The fans have been so amazing, and I'm thrilled to play in new cities around the world and meet even more of my fans in 2011!"
Taylor's 15-month, 107-date Fearless 2009 / 2010 tour sold out arenas and stadiums in 88 cities in five countries and grossed nearly $64 million.
"With me going on my first headlining tour last year, there's a reason why it lasted 15 months, instead of the half a year it was going to last," the 20-year-old superstar explains. "I just could not stop touring. I could not put the Fearless tour down. I loved it so much, because when I'm on that stage and I'm performing on my concert tour, I'm going through all the emotions that I went through when I wrote the songs, in front of all these people, and I feel like we're all in it together. It's unbelievable the feeling that I get when I'm standing there knowing that they know what I mean."
If you can't wait until her tour kicks off next year, catch Taylor performing several songs from her new album, 'Speak Now,' on Thanksgiving (November 25) night. Her one-hour 'Taylor Swift: Speak Now' television special, which takes fans on a whirlwind trip from New York to Los Angeles, airs at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
