Also, hope she fires her tour manager next go around. Not making her go to places like South America and the rest of Europe is just bad business and shouldn't be rewarded. I'll put some blame on her because she seemed extra lazy this tour, but someone has to force her to make better decisions and the people she hires are responsible for that.

She's not firing Robert Allen anytime soon. How well did her albums sales do in SA? They want to conquer the Asian Market.
As Swift’s manager, Robert Allen works with his colleagues at 13 Management to organize and oversee her tours, at home and abroad. Born in England, he knows how to move artists, retinues and gear around Europe. As the older brother of Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, he learned the basics by managing the group’s business and travel. This led to work with Ozzy Osbourne and other major acts, with whom he became familiar with the great concert venues of Asia.
Allen was involved from the start in arranging Swift’s itinerary. Work started in early 2010, based in part on where her support is particularly strong. “With the power of the Internet, there were so many fans out there who lobbied hard for Taylor to go out,” he said. “We monitor how her album sales are and we get these pockets of activities. Singapore completely surprised us. You see this activity there and then you see it in Hong Kong. And this is the fourth time we’ve been back to Japan in the space of two years because we specifically want to work that market.”
Once Swift’s schedule was nailed down, preparations began. 13 Management handled logistical issues, with help from Arthur Kemish, who recently ended a three-year run as production manager for Metallica.
