Taylor Swift announced that she will launch a North American stadium and arena tour in early 2013 in support of her blockbuster new album, RED.
Taylor made the special announcement in partnership with ABC News on Friday night's primetime TV special "All Access Nashville with Katie Couric - A Special Edition of 20/20." RED was released this week to widespread worldwide critical acclaim and has already topped the iTunes album sales charts in 40 countries.
On The RED Tour, Taylor is currently slated to headline 58 shows in 45 cities in 29 states and 3 provinces in 2013. The tour will kick-off on March 13 in Omaha, Nebraska and continue through September.
Singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, whose duet with Taylor from her RED album, "Everything Has Changed," has already reached the #1 position atop iTunes all-genre Top Songs chart, will be a special guest on all of the shows on the tour.
The 2013 dates will include nine stadiums - Detroit's Ford Field, Dallas's Cowboys Stadium, Toronto's Rogers Centre, Winnipeg's Investors' Group Field, Vancouver's BC Place Stadium, Pittsburgh's Heinz Field, Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, Foxborough, Mass.'s Gillette Stadium and Chicago's Soldier Field.
The RED Tour will be produced and promoted by The Messina Group (TMG). Every show will include tickets priced at under $50. The first tickets will go on sale on Nov. 16.
"I didn't think I could be any more excited about my RED album, but then I start thinking about how I'm going to put the new show together for The RED Tour," Taylor said. "I have so many ideas about how to really bring this music to life, and I can't wait to share the new show with all my fans!"
