Because their promoters booked the venues in advance. Maybe you haven't read how promoters book venues. I read How Taylor's US promoter wished he booked more venue dates for her when she first stated out. She sold out MSG and no time. .

How did you plan out her North American Fearless Tour that takes in over 50 cities?
When I got involved, I did two things. I booked the smaller building in town, and I booked the bigger building in town. When there was only one building I had one configuration, and I had a second configuration. Before the shows went on sale I said, “Don’t be surprised if this tour just doesn’t go crazy.” “Fearless” wasn’t even out yet. I just had a gut feeling about the tour. But was I blown away that we were selling out (shows) in three minutes? Absolutely. I have never been involved with any act from the Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen to U2 that sold out this fast. We could have done four Madison Square Garden shows, four Staples Center shows, and four shows in Chicago.
