Background

“I’m so excited to go back out on tour again in 2011! The ‘Fearless Tour’ was so much fun and even more unforgettable than I ever imagined, and I can’t wait to get back out and play my new music from 'Speak Now'! The fans have been so amazing and I’m thrilled to play in new cities around the world and meet even more of my fans in 2011!”[1]

While promoting her current album, Swift mentioned her excitement for her upcoming tour. She stated the tour was going to be "big" and "extensive".[2] On November 23, 2010, various media outlets—including Billboard Magazine announced the second tour by Swift.[3] It follows her successful Fearless Tour which played for over 100 dates in over five countries. The tour will mark the singer's first tour to perform in stadiums. Before the tour commences, Swift will perform The Allure of Taylor Swift aboard the Allure of the Seas Aquatheater, as apart Royal Caribbean Cruises in January 2011.[4]
