Taylor Swift concert chronology

The Red Tour was the third worldwide concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Launched in support of Swift's fourth studio album, Red (2012), the tour began on March 13, 2013 in Omaha, Nebraska and concluded on June 12, 2014 in Singapore.

Background

On October 25, 2012, in partnership with ABC News on the prime-time TV special All Access Nashville with Katie Couric – A Special Edition of 20/20, Swift announced that she would launch a North American stadium and arena tour in early 2013 in support of her fourth studio album, Red (2012).[1] During a radio interview with WRVW, Swift mentioned that "It's nothing like any other tour before."[citation needed]

Swift told Billboard: "Of course, you know the tour will be a big representation of this record". "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."[2]

Swift used Tom Petty's "American Girl" as her entrance song on her previous tour but now takes the stage to Lenny Kravitz's version of "American Woman".[3] She sings a cover of The Lumineers's "Ho Hey" nightly, intertwined with her own "Stay Stay Stay".[4]

Records

Swift became the first solo female artist in 20 years to headline a national stadium tour through Australia, with the last being Madonna's The Girlie Show World Tour in 1993.[11] Swift performed to an at capacity crowd of over 40,900 fans at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Australia, becoming the first female artist in history to sell out the stadium since it was opened in 1988.[12]

The Red Tour also became the highest-grossing tour by a country artist in history, bringing in an overall gross of $150 million surpassing the prior country artist record held by double-billed Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Soul2Soul tour that brought in $141 million. [13]
