St. Louis, MO – November 28, 2012 – Taylor Swift announced that she will launch a North American stadium and arena tour in early 2013 in support of her blockbuster new album, RED.
Taylor made the special announcement in partnership with ABC’s
primetime TV special “All Access Nashville with Katie Couric – A Special
Edition of 20/20.” Watch the announcement here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoJj-5nAGpM. RED
was released this week to widespread worldwide critical acclaim and has
already topped the iTunes album sales charts in 40 countries.
On The RED Tour, Taylor is currently slated to headline 62 shows in 45 cities in 29 states and 3 provinces in 2013. The tour will kick-off on March 13 in Omaha, Nebraska and continue through September. Acclaimed singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, whose duet with Taylor from her RED
album, “Everything Has Changed,” has already reached the #1 position
atop iTunes all-genre Top Songs chart, will be a special guest on all of
the shows on the tour.
The 2013 dates will include eleven stadiums
– Detroit’s Ford Field, Dallas’s Cowboys Stadium, Toronto’s Rogers
Centre (2 shows), Winnipeg’s Investors Group Field, Vancouver’s BC Place
Stadium, Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field, Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial
Field, Foxborough, Mass.’s Gillette Stadium (2 shows) and Chicago’s
Soldier Field.
The
RED Tour will be produced and promoted by The Messina Group (TMG). At
Taylor’s request, every show will include tickets priced at under $50.
The first tickets will go on sale on November 16th, and on-sale information is available now at www.taylorswift.com and www.abcnews.com. 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
RED Tour is set to be one of the most-anticipated musical events of
2013, as Taylor’s live shows are renowned worldwide for bringing her
music to life with what Variety has dubbed “supreme spectacle” and Billboard has hailed as an “overwhelming experience…that blended the pacing, the music and the artist's personality in a way that transfixed.”
During the course of every show, Taylor plays a variety of instruments
and performs her biggest hits and fan favorites from her four Big
Machine Records albums.
“I didn’t think I could be any more excited about my RED
album, but then I start thinking about how I’m going to put the new
show together for The RED Tour,” says Taylor. “I have so many ideas
about how to really bring this music to life, and I can’t wait to share
the new show with all my fans!”
Taylor
Swift is a six-time GRAMMY winner, and is the youngest winner in
history of the music industry’s highest honor, the Grammy Award for
Album of the Year. Her fourth studio album, RED, was just
released this week, and is already garnering widespread critical acclaim
and setting new sales records. Her 2010 album, Speak Now, was lauded on Rolling Stone’s prestigious The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time (by women) list, and Time magazine has named Taylor one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Two-time
BRIT Award winning singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran has become one of the
biggest musical success stories in the UK over the past year and is
already a fast-rising star in the U.S. Sheeran’s debut single, “The A
Team,” was Britain’s highest-charting, biggest-selling debut single of
2011; his debut album, “+”, entered the UK Albums Chart at #1 and has
since been certified 5x-platinum. “+” debuted at #5 on the Billboard
200 upon its stateside release via Elektra Records this past summer,
with “The A Team” continuing to climb the radio charts.
