Taylor Swift is preparing her first headlining tour beginning April 23 in Evansville, Ind. According to Swift’s publicist, the year-long journey will entail “multiple costume changes,” and a “fairy-tale castle,” on her stage.
Swift’s sophomore album, Fearless, is so far the top-selling album of 2009, selling 287,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album has spent eight straight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 2 million copies since its release last November.
Kelly Pickler and new artist Gloriana will be opening all dates. After their run in North America, Swift is planning on going to the United Kingdom, and will end up in Japan at some point.
“It will be super thrilling for her fans in the States to see photos of her in front of Buckingham Palace, downtown Tokyo and then the next time she’s in Cedar Rapids [Iowa] she’ll be that much a bigger star, but still Taylor — approachable,” Scott Borchetta, the president of Swift’s label Big Machine, told Billboard last fall.
