Taylor Swift Goes ‘Red’
Swift announced her tour during “All Access Nashville with Katie Couric” on a special edition of ABC’s 20/20. The zillion date adventure is in support of Swift’s Red album, released last week to thunderous applause throughout the globe.
But the tour isn’t the only thing on Swift’s upcoming travels. The country songstress will co-host “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!” with L.L. Cool J. The event, which will announce nominees in several categories as well as feature live performances by past Grammy winners and/or nominees, will take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena Dec. 5 and will broadcast live on CBS.
Although Swift’s camp has only released dates and cities for the upcoming “Red” tour, the announcement did name a few stadiums, saying the tour promoted and produced by The Messina Group will play Detroit’s Ford Field; Cowboys Stadium near Dallas in Arlington, Texas; Toronto’s Rogers Centre; Winnipeg, Manitoba, at Investors’ Group Field; BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia; Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field; Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field; Foxboro, Mass., at Gillette Stadium; and Chicago’s Soldier Field.
