Taylor Swift Sweden | Sweden's Largest Fansite Dedicated To Taylor Swift

Country superstars Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift and R&B artist Ne-Yo are the first names added to the bill for Tim McGraw’s Academy of Country Music concert special.

 

The two-hour-long “ACM Presents: Tim McGraw’s Superstar Summer Night” will be taped Monday, April 8, 2013 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and will be shown at an unspecified later date on the CBS Television Network. All proceeds from ticket sales go to ACM Lifting Lives, the charitable arm of the Academy.

 

“There’s no better time for live music than in the heat of the summer,” said 15-time ACM winner McGraw in a statement. “Country music is hotter than it has ever been, and with some help from a few friends in other genres too, we’re going to get summer started off right. I’ve been lucky enough to have all these artists join me on tour, and it’ll be fun to get everyone back together to help raise money and bring some attention to Lifting Lives. Not enough people know what good work the organization does, and when I was asked to help put this show together, it was a no-brainer.”

Joel Crouse, Brett Eldredge, Florida Georgia Line and Casey James will join Taylor Swift on the road this year on her highly anticipated “Red” Tour. The news was revealed in Country Aircheck‘s CRS Daily Buzz this morning. The Country newcomers join Swift’s previously announced tour mate Ed Sheeran. Austin Mahone will join the tour on stadium dates.

 

According to the publication, Crouse will open 11 shows, Eldredge will join the tour for 14 dates, FGL will open seven shows and James will be featured on 14 dates.

 

The “Red” Tour, which will play 66 shows in 47 cities, kicks off March 14 in Omaha, NE. Click HERE for a complete list of tour dates.

Taylor Swift’s 2013 Red Tour begins March 13th in Omaha.  Her Speak Now tour was a huge success, selling out venues around the world.  So this new tour has very big shoes to fill.  Taylor discussed details about the tour with Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton: “Planning the Red Tour started 8 months ago.  That’s when I started conceptualizing what the stage would look like.  I really wanted this tour to look completely different from the Speak Now tour, because I was so proud of the Speak Now tour.  I wanted this to have a different vibe.  We have the stage designed.  It’s being put up in a warehouse as we speak.  I’ve been rehearsing with my band for about a month.  When we put the stage together with the music, that’s when it gets exciting.”

 

Lon then asked Taylor to compare the looks of the two tours: “The way that I look at the visuals for the Speak Now Tour, is it was very fantasy oriented, a very princessy vibe, it was much more straight up theater.  With this Red Tour I’m not sure what it will look like exactly but I think more of a concert experience.  There may be some elements of theater, but it’s going to look more like this record looks.  You’ll have some costumes, but not all costumes.  Like maybe a few less gowns.  There won’t be costume-costumes, but more like outfits.  That’s a girly thing to say though.”

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran gave us a one-two performer punch at the2013 Grammy Awards, with the two talented artists taking the stage Sunday night to wow the star-studded crowd.

 

Swift kicked off the show acting as a ring leader to her own onstage circus with a rousing rendition of her nominated song, “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” while Sheeran slowed things down for “The A Team” with a memorable duet with Elton John.

 

And if fans liked what they saw, they better get used to it because the two are hitting the road, sans John, on Swift’s upcoming Red tour, which kicks off next month. 

 

We recently caught up with Sheeran, who is Swift’s opening act, who revealed how she easily persuaded him to join her on tour.

 

“There’s no one really bigger in the world right now that I could tour with so to be able to get on that tour and to be invited on its not like some of these tours where people have to pay money or it’s a favor,” Sheeran said. “She just literally texted me saying, ‘Do you want to come on tour?’ and I was like, ‘Yes.’ “

 

This isn’t the first time they’ve collaborated, the two have a duet,“Everything Has Changed,” on Swift’s Red album, and Sheeran admitted there’s a “large possibility” that the two will be writing together on the road. So why do these two work so well together?

 

“We’re male and female, but we do exactly the same thing like we’re both the same age, we both write songs with guitars we both tour playing acoustic music and that’s kind of it,” Sheeran said. “We’ve got a similar sense of humor. I guess we just have a lot in common.

Is ‘Highway Don’t Care’ one of your favorite tracks from Tim McGraw‘s ‘Two Lanes of Freedom‘ album? If so, you have modern technology to thank for the colossal collaboration between the superstar, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban.

 

The blending of the vocals and instrumental track on ‘Highway Don’t Care’ sounds as if the three acts spent an unlimited time together in the recording studio, but fans would be interested to find out that none of them actually stepped foot in the same room at the same time in the process.

 

“Thank God for modern technology because everybody is so busy,” McGraw confesses (quote via Country Music Tattle Tale). “I could just shoot over the track to Keith and he could lay his part down and Taylor could do the same.”

 

But would ‘Highway Don’t Care’ have benefited from in-person interaction between the track’s three featured musicians? McGraw doesn’t think so.

 

“It’s hard to say, but I don’t know how it could be any better,” he gushes. “I knew I wanted Taylor from the very beginning, and Keith and I have been trying to find a way to work together for a long time. This was the perfect song for all of us.”

 

“I’m a big fan of both of those guys. I think Taylor is just a really special artist for all of music. And she’s a real shining light in our industry,” McGraw furthers in an exclusive interview with Taste of Country. “And I think Keith Urban is one of the most talented guys around. I’ve always been a huge fan of his as an artist and a singer, but his guitar playing I think is second to none. He’s one of the best guitar players out there. To have him play guitar on my record is just something special.”

 

In our review of McGraw’s new studio album, we concur that ‘Highway Don’t Care’ is one of the standout tracks. ‘Two Lanes of Freedom,’ which impacted on Feb. 5, serves as the singer’s highly-anticipated debut Big Machine Records release. The McGraw/Swift/Urban song is already at No. 2 on iTunes Top 10 most-downloaded country songs, just behind Swift’s ‘I Knew You Were Trouble.’

On Taylor Swift’s Performance:

“She’s incredibly creative. They came to us with an idea, I’m not going to say what song it is, but I can promise you as it has been the last couple years with her…it’s a Taylor you’ve never seen before and it’s really exciting. It fills the stage.”

Swifties are squealing for joy as  Taylor Swift announces she will release “22” as the next single from “Red” on… drumroll please, April 1st.
