The tour will
start in Singapore in February and take Swift to Japan, South Korea, the
Philippines and Hong Kong before moving onto Europe in March, and the United
States in late May, tour organizers said. Swift, 20, will play 87 shows in 2011
- expanding her reach beyond the five countries she visited in 2009 and 2010 on
her "Fearless" concert tour.
The Grammy-winning singer's "Speak
Now" album debuted at the top of the US album charts in October after good
reviews and the best first week sales since 2005. Her previous album "Fearless"
- filled with songs about teen love and the social perils of high school - was
the biggest seller of 2009.
"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!,"
Swift said. In Europe, Swift will play shows in Milan, Paris, London and
Madrid. The US leg of the tour will kick off in Omaha, Nebraska on May
