Taylor Swift concert chronology

The Red Tour is the third worldwide concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The tour was launched in support of Swift's fourth studio album, Red (2012).

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 will launch a North American stadium and arena tour in early 2013 in support of her fourth studio album Red (2012).[2] During a radio interview with WRVW, Swift mentioned that "It's nothing like any other tour before."[3]

Swift told Billboard: "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."[4]

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".[5] She sings a cover of The Lumineers's "Ho Hey" nightly, intertwined with her own "Stay Stay Stay".[6]
