Taylor Swift Tickets - Hitting the Road

She may only be 19, but the country superstar that has taken America by storm is not letting her age define her. Taylor Swift has already topped the Billboard 200 charts, earned herself a triple - platinum debut, seen a high glamour romance fail and now, is headlining tour. The country star is hitting up nearly every city across the nation from spring through the fall; "Headlining my own tour is a dream come true!" Swift said in a press statement. "This way, I can play more music every night than I ever have before. Having written my own songs, they are all stories in my head, and my goal for this tour is to bring those stories to life." The singer/songwriter jets off in April, starting out in Evansville, Indiana, before she pairs up with Keith Urban for a few dates in June. As Taylor Swift tickets become more popular, remains in all the action as Swift heads out in the real world.

She plans on promoting Fearless, her sophomore effort that has already topped the billboard charts, becoming the tenth longest running album in Billboard history to remain there, and the most for a female country artist. Selling 2.4 million copies to date, the single "Love Story," "White Horse" and "Fearless" are streamlining the country radio stations, following in suit with her debut, writing or co-writing every song on the album. Now not only is the barely legal singer celebrating her first headliner but several award nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards. Along for the ride is her best friend and writing partner, Kellie Pickler, as her opener, along with the latest country music breakout, Gloriana. "It's going to be really fun just spending the summer with your best friend. [It] solves that issue of ever being bored!" she commented on her MySpace page. Planning her tour for the last three years, Swift is ecstatic about finally setting her plans to reality. "It is unbelievable to me that that is actually happening. But I'm planning the stage, and the wheels are all turning."

She may not be a fairytale princess, but her story has definitely been like something out of Disney storybook. Born and raised in Wyomissing, PA, her first single to hit the top of the charts was named after her country music idol, "Tim McGraw," and just months later she got to perform the single in front of the "Indian Outlaw" singer and his wife during the American Country Music Awards, after which the two artists met for the first time. Since then her singles have been topping the country charts, earning her praise for her vocals and her lyrical technique.
