Taylor Swift Announces Australian Tour 2012

Taylor Swift, who is currently headlining sold-out stadiums and arenas on the North American leg of her blockbuster world tour, announced today that in response to strong fan demand she will extend the tour into 2012 with capital city dates around Australia.

The four-time Grammy winner’s Speak Now performance is a two-hour theatrical presentation, reminiscent of a Broadway experience. The show features elaborate costumes, dancers, aerialists, changing sets, and innovative choreography and instrumentation showcased on a multi-level stage.

Taylor plays five different guitars in the show, plus two banjos, the ukulele and the piano, and changes costumes nine times over the course of the evening. Unlike most pop starlets she writes all of her own songs, selling more albums in 2010 and 2008 than any other artist in any genre of music, and her Fearless album was 2009’s top-selling CD.
