Taylor Swift gears up for 'Speak Now' tour



Country music star Taylor Swift's massive Speak Now tour kicks off in Singapore on February 9 and includes 90 shows in 19 countries throughout Asia, Europe, and North America.

In March, she plans to play 11 concerts in Europe, including stops in Paris, Madrid, London, and Oslo, before launching her North American tour in May. Her first stop will be in Omaha, Nebraska, for two dates on May 27 and 28. From there the tour will criss-cross the country through October 29, when she performs a final show Lexington, Kansas.

Tickets for nine of her US shows sold out in five minutes.

Swift is the youngest artist in history, and the first female solo country artist ever, to win a Grammy for Album of the Year - an honor she received in 2009 for her sophomore album Fearless. Speak Now reached number one in five countries. Her 2008 album Fearless was the biggest selling CD that year in the US. Earlier this month, Swift, for the second time, became the top-selling and most-played artist in the US by Billboard (she was previously named the top-selling artists in 2008).
