Taylor Swift concert chronology |
The Speak Now World Tour was the second concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Also referred to as the Speak Now World Tour 2011 and the Speak Now World Tour 2012, the tour was launched in support of her third studio album, Speak Now (2010). The tour visited Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. The tour ranked tenth in Pollstar's "Top 50 Worldwide Tour (Mid-Year)", earning over $40 million.[1] At the conclusion of 2011, the tour placed fifth on Billboard's annual "Top 25 Tours", earning $97 million with 89 shows.[2]
Background
"I’m so excited to go back out on tour again in 2011! The 'Fearless Tour' was so much fun and even more unforgettable than I ever imagined, and I can't wait to get back out and play my new music from Speak Now! The fans have been so amazing and I'm thrilled to play in new cities around the world and meet even more of my fans in 2011!"[3]
While promoting Speak Now, Swift mentioned her excitement for her upcoming tour. She stated the tour was going to be "big" and "extensive".[4] On November 23, 2010, various media outlets—including Billboard Magazine announced the second tour by Swift.[5] It follows her successful Fearless Tour which played for over 100 dates in over five countries. The tour marked the singer's first tour to perform in stadiums. Before the tour commenced, Swift performed "The Allure of Taylor Swift" aboard the MS Allure of the Seas at the Allure of the Seas Aquatheater, as a part of Royal Caribbean Cruises in January 2011.[6] Swift used Tom Petty's "American Girl" as her entrance song.[7]

Arm lyrics
During the North American and Australasian tour legs, Swift wrote different song lyrics, and occasionally quotes from famous speeches and movies, on her left arm for each performance. She has said that the lyrics should be viewed as a nightly "mood ring"[11] 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".[12]
Acoustic cover versions
Swift performed many acoustic cover versions during her North American tour. In each city, she paid tribute to a homegrown artist.[13] She has said 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."[14]
