(Sat) RBC: Taylor Swift with Kellie Pickler and Gloriana |
|
Description
Taylor, who at 19 is the youngest
artist in history to be nominated for the Country Music
Association’s prestigious Entertainer of the Year Award, is
set to kick off her FEARLESS 2010 Tour.
“I’m so excited to take
the FEARLESS Tour back out on the road again in 2010!” says
Taylor. “This year’s tour has been so much fun and even
more unforgettable than I ever imagined. The fans have been so
amazing, and I’m thrilled to play in new cities and see even
more of my fans on the 2010 FEARLESS Tour!”
The Taylor Swift FEARLESS 2009 Tour
was the hottest ticket of the year, wowing fans and critics
worldwide. Capacity crowds packed arenas around the globe -- every
show on the tour sold out within minutes, including one at Madison
Square Garden in one minute, and one at Los Angeles’ Staples
center in just two minutes. The blockbuster tour was chronicled in
the one-hour primetime NBC network special “Dateline: On Tour
With Taylor Swift.”
Taylor’s Big Machine Records
album releases, Fearless and her self-titled debut, have topped 10
million copies in combined total sales, plus an additional 20
million paid song downloads. Big Machine will release an enhanced
version of the Fearless album, a CD/DVD dual set entitled Fearless
Platinum Edition, on October 27.
