Country Star Taylor Swift Kicks Off First Headlining Tour

Taylor Swift became the youngest music artist to ever win Album of the Year Award from the Academy of Country Music for her triple platinum album, Fearless. She also received the Crystal Milestone Award, a recognition that was only given to three artists in most recent history: Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, and Faith Hill.

The awards solidified this young artist’s mark in the music scene. Not only has she dominated the country charts, she has also crossed over to the pop scene. Just recently, she, along with Carrie Underwood, was named one of the “Most Beautiful People” by People Magazine. She joins the likes of Halle Berry, Christina Applegate, and Michelle Obama.

It seems things are just getting better for this young superstar. On April 23, she kicked off the Taylor Swift Fearless 2009 Tour, which is slated to run until October. As of now, tickets for shows that have been put on sale have been sold out.

The show started in Indiana, where the two-hour show was sold out. Fans were treated to an amazing show that featured incredible effects, sets, and visual elements designed by Taylor herself. One of the attractions of the show was a fairy-tale castle lit by more than a million light during the three-act show.

She’s had eight costume changes and played seven different instruments during the show, showcasing her amazing musical talent. American Idol Season 5 finalist Kellie Pickler joins Taylor in her show as a featured artist in the tour.

The Fearless tour will be taken to 52 cities in 40 states in the United States and Canada for the next 6 months. The tour was so anticipated by fans that most shows have been sold out already. The Madison Square Garden show, as a matter of fact, sold out in minutes.
