Taylor Swift First U.S. Shows Sell Out Within Minutes
By Laura AguirreTaylor Swift is a sell out.
Well not actually her, (even though she was the biggest selling U.S. artist of 2008, so technically that could be her title) but according to Examiner the first fifteen dates on her upcoming 2010 Fearless tour sold out within minutes today. Way to go Swift!
There are still a lot of tickets out there so if you’re a Swift fan (or just really hate Kanye West) you might still be able to score tickets. Ms. Swift will be gracing stages all over the U.S., Canada, and Australia for a total of 37 shows.
Prior to the whole Kanye West/Taylor Swift incident at the VMA‘s this year, all I knew about Swift was that she was a young, blonde country singer. Personally, I think she should be thanking Kanye West because whether it’s pity Taylor Swift or extreme dislike for what Kanye West did to her, Taylor Swift is at the top of her game and something tells me she’s going to stay up there for a long time.
Taylor Swift will be hosting SNL November 7 and I’m expecting a hilarious VMA repeat in the form of a comedy-skit of course.

[...] Swift was chosen by newspaper editors and broadcast producers across the country in a survey of AP members. She follows last year’s winner, Tina Fey, and 2007’s pick, Stephen Colbert. At the tender age of 20, the singer has managed to dominate this year in every way that matters. Her last album was released in late 2008, but had a heavy presence on this year’s charts, while her headlining Fearless Tour literally sold out in minutes. [...]
