Artikel: hur kommer RED turnén att se ut?
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.”

Austin Mahone pratar om Taylor
I met her a year ago in this little cafe. She walked in and I introduced myself. I said, ‘Are you Taylor Swift? She said, ‘Yeah.’ I said ‘I’m Austin Mahone. I do music and I’m on YouTube.’ She was like, ‘Oh, that’s so cool, keep working hard.’ Now, a year later, I’m going on tour [with her] and it’s so crazy how it all came about. I wanted to do a song with her. She was like, ‘Forget the song; let’s go on tour!’

Taylors turné säljer slut!
It took just sixty seconds for Taylor Swift to sell out two shows at Los Angeles' massive Staples Center, and it seems every show on the upcoming Red Tour is following suit. The music superstar sold out Toronto's Rogers Centre in five minutes, two shows at Washington, D.C.'s Verizon Center in five minutes, Detroit's Ford Field in ten minutes, two shows at Atlanta's Phillips Arena in five minutes and Chicago's Soldier Field in just a little under a half hour.
The always fan-friendly star has responded to the overwhelming ticket demand by adding four more shows: June 14 in Toronto (tickets on sale Nov. 23); July 26 in Foxborough, Mass. (tickets on sale Nov. 17); and Aug. 23 & 24 in Los Angeles (tickets on sale Dec. 7). Get tour dates and ticket info here.
"I love a theatrical production," Taylor tells The Boot, hinting that her Red tour will be just as elaborate (if not more) than her Speak Now tour. "I love for you to see a different thing for each song. I love for there to be surprises -- having the audience think they're going to see one thing and then it's a completely different thing than you thought. That's a really rewarding part of putting on a show, is getting to know that the crowd got their money's worth. For the effort it took to file into the arena and find parking for their car and all that, I want them to completely, without a doubt, feel like it was worth it to come see me play."
Taylor pratar om "Red Tour"
While she's immersed in promotional appearances for her new album, "Red," Taylor Swift is also hatching plans for the concert tour that will begin March 13 in Omaha, Neb. And she says that her fans -- who have purchased 1.55 million copies of "Red" since its October 22 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan -- will have everything to do with what she plays.
"Of course, you know the tour will be a big representation of this record," Swift tells Billboard. "I'm so excited to see what songs the fans like the most and which ones jump to the forefront, because that's the first step. We always see which songs are really the passionate songs and the ones the fans are freaking out over the most, and those are the ones that are definitely in the set list. I can't wait for that."
Tickets begin going on sale Nov. 16 for Swift's 58-date trek, which will be stopping at mostly arenas and nine stadiums on the tour and is currently announced through Sept. 21 with British troubadour Ed Sheeran, who guests on the "Red" track "Everything Has Changed," as the opening act. And Swift says she's planning a production that will fit the scale of the places she's playing.
"I like for it to be big -- as big as possible," Swift explains. "If we can make a show that dazzles people more than the last tour, then I'll have done my job in the right way. I just want to be able, in this economy, to make a show that for fans is definitely a guarantee that they will be entertained enough to warrant them leaving their house, spending their evening with me, parking their car, waiting in line, maybe buy a T-shirt. I want them to be so happy that they decided to spend their time with me -- I think that's my biggest objective. And the element of surprise is still really important in a concert and showing scenes and images and visuals that are magical. I really like to take people to a different world and change things up constantly, never showing them too much of the same thing too many times in a row."
