Taylor Swift announced last week that she will bring the FEARLESS
Tour back to the fans in 2010 with a performance at Verizon Center
on June 2 at 7:00 p.m.!
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, will kick off her FEARLESS 2010 Tour on February 4 in
Brisbane, Australia and play five shows Down Under before beginning
her North American run on March 4 in Tampa, Florida. In 2010, Taylor
will headline 37 shows in 29 cities in 22 states and provinces in
the U.S. and Canada.
"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."
Here's what some of the nation's top critics had to say about Taylor
Swift and the FEARLESS 2009 Tour:
"Swift's fans don't just believe in her savvy songwriting
and gracious, magnetic stage presence. They trust her as a peer.
And if the unerring pleasures of her set - and the crowd's Beatles-sized
reactions - were any indication, they'll be trusting her for a long
time." - The Los Angeles Times
"Country queen Taylor Swift charms the L.A. crowd." -
The Hollywood Reporter
"Swift shoots to superstardom. Her two-hour set at the sold-out
arena showed a level of creativity - and more important, sincerity
- which many other acts don't reach for decades, if ever. Watch
out Madonna, Britney Spears, Mick Jagger and Bono. There is a new
master of the stage in pop music moving quickly up the ladder, and
the scary thing is that she is only 19 years old." - The
(Phoenix) Arizona Republic
"Swift's two-hour set definitively proved that she's hardly
just another flash in the pan of bubbly blond singers. The concert,
gorgeously produced and featuring everything from an onstage waterfall
to a fairytale castle and dancers in Renaissance garb, perfectly
showcased Swift's poignant, clever songwriting, as well as her confident
vocals and a stage presence way beyond her years." - The
Dallas Morning News
"The concert was a high-tech extravaganza….but the music
cut through the spectacle. At the Garden, Swift sang with punch
and confidence…and what really shone were the songs themselves.
I've seen a lot of live music over the years, but few moments of
symbiosis between performer and audience like an arena full of girls
singing along to Swift's gentle pep talk." - Slate
"The two-hour, three-act spectacle doesn't slow down."
- Rolling Stone
Taylor's good friend, American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler, again
joins Taylor as a featured artist on all of the North American FEARLESS
dates, and top selling new artist of 2009 Gloriana returns to open
all of the shows.
The North American FEARLESS Tour is produced and promoted by The
Messina Group (TMG.) TMG is a partner of AEG Live, one of the top
live entertainment companies in the world, which produces world
tours featuring internationally renowned artists and regional concerts
and festivals.
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.
