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!”
