Pop music's blue-eyed, blonde-
haired tween Queen Taylor Swift
will return to Australia this
December for a series of ambitious
stadium shows as part of her
worldwide tour to promote her
album Red .
American Swift, 23, who has sold
an estimated 26 million albums
and won seven Grammy Awards,
will open her Australian tour at
Sydney's Allianz Stadium on
December 4, before playing at
Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on
December 7, Melbourne's Etihad
Stadium on December 14 - all of
which hold over 45,000 fans.
She will also play NIB Stadium in
Perth on December 11. If she sells
out these venues, Swift can be
expected to add extra shows to her
tour.
Her album Red topped the album
charts here, as did her previous
record, Speak Now , although it's
been a while since she's had a
number one single here: Love Story
in 2008.
A statement from promoter
Mushroom promised Swift would
perform on "multi-level stages",
change costume 10 times and play
several instruments during a
spectacular show. Tickets will be
priced "from $85", more expensive
than in the US, where she vowed
to keep tickets "under $50" for the
North American leg of her Red
tour.
The country-pop crossover artist
toured Australia in March last year
and in February 2010, playing at
large indoor venues on both tours.
Swift has become almost as well
known for her high-profile
relationships as her music, dating
a conveyor belt of stars including
Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John
Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor
Kennedy and most recently One
Direction's Harry Styles.
Tickets for Taylor Swift's Red
Tour go on sale on May 21

Those Australian stadiums should sell out
