Swift Announces Opening Acts

March 3, 2011/by Sarah Skates

Taylor Swift today revealed the artists who will open the North American leg of her world tour. When the tour launches its stateside run on May 27 in Omaha, joining her for select dates will be Frankie Ballard, Danny Gokey, Hunter Hayes, Josh Kelley, Randy Montana, James Wesley and Charlie Worsham.
There will be two opening acts at Swift’s stadium dates, in addition to her previously announced tourmate NEEDTOBREATHE.
Swift celebrated her seventh charttopping single this week with “Back To December.” It is her second consecutive No. 1 from her triple platinum Speak Now album.
Also this week, Swift’s 2006 self-titled debut CD was certified 5x-Platinum. Her Fearless album is 6x-Platinum.
Swift just wrapped the sold-out Asian leg of her Speak Now World Tour, and the European tour kicks off March 6 in Brussels, Belgium. This year, she will play 90 shows in 19 countries spanning four continents.

    UGHH! Danny Gokey? WTF? He is OLD!! Do not want! He is just trying to get Taylors fans to think he is a teen sensation like Taylor? Sorry but out of all of these openers one of these things just doesn’t belong here! That’s Danny Goky!! HaHa All the rest are young.
