As sales of her fifth album gain momentum, Taylor Swift has announced news of a huge world tour for 2015 - including her first date in Scotland.
Beginning on 20 May in Louisiana, the world tour spans across fifty dates, eight countries and throughout four continents, and follows her record breaking Red Tour, which encompassed more than 85 shows, included five sold out shows at London’s O2 and was described by the Guardian as a “slick spectacular” in its five star review.
From spring to autumn, Swift will perform in Europe and America, headlining Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park 2015 in London on 27 June and stopping by at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow on 23 June, dates which notably align with this year’s Glastonbury festival, which takes place from 24 - 28 June. Her ode to New York gets its closest airing in New Jersey, at the MetLife Stadium in July. Vance Joy will support her throughout her north American leg with “viral sensation” Shawn Mendes also on the bill.
The tour follows the release of Taylor’s acclaimed new album 1989, which topped iTunes’ sales charts in 95 countries on its release and was the highest selling first week release of the year in the US.
Seven-time Grammy award winner Taylor Swift has sold 30 million albums, clocking almost 80 million song downloads to date.
