Not really, The first 2 NZ dates were sold-out, I don't know about the other one though. Allianz was officially reported sold-out in a press release and Etihad also reported sold out. We don't know anything about Suncorp and nib tho.

I had a really hard time on Christmas Eve. I picked your daddy up at the airport and was a total mess. We ended up going into town to finish up some last minute things and all I could really do was sob in the car while he tried to have some what of a conversation with me. ”Who is coming up to your parent’s tonight?” he asked me at one point. I named out, “X, Y, and Z… and not Ronan!!!” I was sobbing, panicking, and not really breathing very well. At some point while he was in a store that I could not go into because of my grieving mother of madness appearance, I got on my phone and started distracting myself with my Instagram feed. The first thing that popped up was Taylor’s account as I guess she had just posted a new picture. Through my red, swollen eyes I looked at the picture of her and her brother, in their matching Christmas pajama’s. Talk about adorable. Upon closer inspection I saw she was wearing something on her head. It wasn’t just something, it was your Spicy Monkey Spirit Hood that I sent her. I smiled though my tears and as your daddy got in the car I showed him the picture. ”Look, Taylor is wearing Ro’s hood.” He squeezed my hand and said something about how that had to make me feel a little bit better. I told him it did and the timing of seeing that picture could not have been better. It came just when I needed it most. To me such a simple thing served as a little reminder that there is so much good in this world, even during the hardest of times. It also gave me that little extra push I needed to get through the rest of the day and night because Liam, Quinn and Poppy deserved to have a beautiful Christmas, Ronan, despite the always empty chair at the dinner table that will never be filled. Thank you, sweet Taylor. You make the most beautiful little spicy monkey and you have no idea how much seeing that smile on your face meant to me. I hope you and your family had the most beautiful Christmas. I love you so much.

Why she hasnt announced Asia leg?
Will she visit here after flopping in North America and Australia and realize Japan is always there for her, and she realizes that Asia actually exists?
Suddenly it sounds like Avril's career...

Taylor Swift is a much-loved lady in Tennessee, y'all!
In fact, on Dec. 28, The Tennessean named the 24-year-old country-pop singer as 2013's Tennessean of the Year.
Swift wasn't born a Southern belle (her family moved to Middle Tennessee when she was 14 to pursue her music career), but as the Nashville paper notes, she has "become a worldwide ambassador for Tennessee's capital city, an example to millions of young (and not-so-young) people of how to turn damaged feelings into healing creativity, and a financial booster to some of the city's most important institutions."

NEWS: Taylor is 2013's most charitable celeb! See who else made the list
In October 2013, thanks to Swift's $4 million gift, the Taylor Swift Education Center opened at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Museum. Per The Tennesseean, the center includes three classrooms, a learning lab and in 2014, will include an interactive exhibit gallery, giving the museum seven times more space for education.
Swift also donated $100,00 to the Nashville symphony on her 24th birthday, Dec. 13, and has for the second year in a row been named DoSomething.org's most charitable celebrity.
"For her to believe in us, the hometown institutions, and to be focused on Nashville speaks volumes," said Kyle Young, the director and chief executive officer of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. "How often do you think she's approached to do things, all over the world? So it means so much for her to believe in us and think that investments here would help the city she clearly cares so much about."

Per The Tennessean, Swift has said she "would not be the same kind of person without Nashville" and that the music city has "shaped me into who I am."
"I think everybody feels that. We don't have an ocean, or mountains: People come here because of the feeling they get," she said. "It pulls you in and turns you into who you're going to be."
Clearly Swift and Nashville have a great relationship with one another.

Oh, we made quite a mess, babe.
It's probably better off this way.
And I confess, babe,
In my dreams you're touching my face
And asking me if I wanna try again with you.
And I almost do.
The Country smash that got away.

I'm still mad that she butchered every single Enchanted performance on this tour and gave a perfect rendition for the one and only Last Kiss performance.

I'm actually really hoping for flowery imagery. It'd be a nice contrast, dark moody music + flowery artsy looks.
And I need her to do an Asia leg to be honest, I have so many friends/family there that would be dying to go.
