Taylor Swift concert chronology

The Speak Now World Tour was the second concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who embarked on it to support her third studio album, Speak Now (2010). It began on February 9, 2011, visiting Asia and Europe before kicking off in North America on May 27, 2011. [2] It concluded on March 18, 2012, in Oceania. In total, the tour covered 110 shows across 19 territories.

Contents

The set list consisted mostly of songs from Speak Now, with a few numbers from Swift's first two albums, Taylor Swift (2006) and Fearless (2008). Two songs were performed as medleys with music of other artists: "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train, "Apologize" by OneRepublic, and "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. On several US shows, Swift invited special guests to perform duets onstage with her. Multiple US shows were recorded for a concert film and live album, both titled Speak Now World Tour – Live , released on November 21, 2011.

Music critics generally praised the production and Swift's showmanship and interactions with her audience. The North American shows were met with high demand that led to tickets being sold out within minutes. According to Pollstar , the Speak Now World Tour was the highest-grossing by a female artist and the fourth-highest-grossing overall of 2011. Billboard ranked it fifth on their list of the top tours of 2011, with estimated total gross of $123.7 million and attendance of 1.6 million.

Background and development

Big Machine Records released Taylor Swift's entirely self-written third studio album, Speak Now, on October 25, 2010. [3] Speak Now sold over one million copies after one week of release in the United States, leading The New York Times to comment that Swift "has transcended the limitations of genre and become a pop megastar". [4] To promote the album, Swift planned to embark on a world tour. Immediately after the album's release, she announced on CMT that she had finalized the first tour dates in Japan in February 2011, followed by Norway, Germany, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom in March. [5]

On November 23, 2010, Swift officially announced the Speak Now World Tour as her second headlining concert tour, following the Fearless Tour (2009). [6] This announcement revealed the first 87 scheduled shows in 19 countries; the tour was to kick off in Asia in February and then visited Europe in March, before commencing in North America from May until October 2011. [7]

While promoting Speak Now, Swift mentioned her excitement for her upcoming tour. She stated that the tour was going to be "big" and "extensive". [8] On November 23, 2010, various media outlets, including Billboard magazine, announced the second tour by Swift. [9] It followed her successful Fearless Tour, which played over 100 dates in five countries. The Speak Now World Tour marked Swift's first in multiple stadiums. Before it commenced, she performed "The Allure of Taylor Swift" show aboard the MV Allure of the Seas at the Allure of the Seas Aquatheater, as a part of Royal Caribbean Cruises on January 21, 2011 in Cozumel, Mexico. [10] Swift used Tom Petty's "American Girl" as her entrance song. [11]

It ranked tenth on Pollstar 's "Top 50 Worldwide Tour (Mid-Year)" list, earning over $40 million. [12] At the end of 2011, the tour placed fourth on the magazine's annual "Top 25 Worldwide Tours" list, earning $104.2 million from 100 shows, [13] making it the highest-grossing female and solo tour of 2011.

Swift performing during the Speak Now World Tour in 2012 with lyrics from Natasha Bedingfield's "Neon Lights" on her arm

During the North American [14] and Australasian tour legs, Swift wrote different song lyrics, and occasionally quotes from famous speeches and movies, on her left arm for each show. She stated that the lyrics should be viewed as a nightly "mood ring", [15] and The New Yorker has cited the practice as an example of Swift's "keen understanding of what fuels fan obsession in the first place: a desire for intimacy between singer and listener". [16]

Acoustic cover versions

Swift performed many acoustic cover versions during the North American leg. In each city, she paid tribute to a homegrown artist. [17] She stated that the cover versions allowed her to be "spontaneous" in an otherwise well-rehearsed show: "You'll have a lot of people who will come to more than one show, and I want them to get a different experience every time." [18]
