Taylor Swift
March 10th
The Frank Erwin Center

     The youngest artist in history to be nominated for the Country Music Association’s “Entertainer of the Year “Award, singer and songwriter Taylor Swift will bring her “Fearless”  Tour to the Frank Erwin Center on March 10th.  Special guests Kellie Pickler and Gloriana open the show.
     Swift - who is only 19 years old - kicked off her new tour on February 4th in Brisbane, Australia, and play five shows Down Under before beginning her North American run on March 4th in Tampa, Florida.  Swift will headline 37 shows in 29 cities in 22 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada during the tour.
     Her 2009 tour proved one of the hottest tickets of the year, playing to crowds in arenas around the globe.  Every show on the tour sold out within minutes - including one at Madison Square Garden that sold out in one minute, and one at Los Angeles' Staples center that sold out in just two minutes.
    The blockbuster tour was chronicled in the one-hour primetime NBC network special "Dateline: On Tour With Taylor Swift."  Industry insiders expect the 2010 tour to exceed the sales and capacity records set by the 2009 tour.
    American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler joins Swift as a featured guest artist on all of the North American dates, and top-selling new artist Gloriana will open all of the shows.
    Swift’s Big Machine Records album releases - Fearless, and her self-titled debut - have topped 10 million copies in combined total sales, plus an additional 20 million paid song downloads.  Big Machine will release an enhanced version of the Fearless album, as a CD/DVD dual set entitled Fearless Platinum Edition, on October 27th.
     Tickets for Taylor Swift with special guests Kellie Pickler and Gloriana at the Frank Erwin Center on Wednesday, March 10th, at 7 p.m. are $25, $49.50, and $59.50.  Tickets are on sale at all Texas Box Office Outlets - including most Central Texas  H-E-B stores
    Tickets are also available charge-by-phone at (512) 477-6060 or toll free at 1-800-982-2386, or online at www.TexasBoxOffice.com. For more information, visit the Erwin Center website at www.UTErwinCenter.com.
