Taylor Swift Tickets - Fearless in Austin, TX

By Susan Anne

Next year, country music star Taylor Swift will be returning to the United States for an another leg of her sold-out tour, titled "Fearless". She will be swinging into Austin, Texas on March 10, 2010, appearing with Kellie Pickler at the University of Texas's Frank Erwin Center. The show, which will be opened by new artist Gloriana, sold out within minutes. See the resources at the end of this article for more information on how you can still get tickets to this sold-out show!

Swift's second release, titled "Fearless", just like the tour, was the highest 2008 debit for any country artist. The album brought forth two chart-topping singles, "Love Story" and "White Horse', both of which emphasized Swift's incredible crossover appeal. Her appeal was the reason that the Academy of Country Music recognized her for her ability to attract younger fans to country music, and she is the youngest country star to be nominated for the prestigious country music Entertainer of the Year. With almost 600,000 combined sales in digital downloads, her first two albums are the best in digital history.

Recently, Swift found herself in the midst of an unfortunate controversy at the September MTV' Video Music Awards when she won Best Female Video for "You Belong to Me." Kanye West famously jumped onstage and snatched the microphone from the stunned Swift, claiming that Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video was one of the best videos of all time, garnering him a large amount of negative press. Following Taylor's appearance on The View, West finally called her to apologize for disrupting her speech.

Even at such a young age, Taylor Swift has also been recognized for her numerous philanthropic efforts, including a campaign in 2007 to protect children everywhere from the danger of internet predators. She is also known for generously giving to the Red Cross and St. Jude's Children's Research.

Taylor's show will take place in the Frank Erwin Center, constructed in'77 and recently renovated. The $55 million worth of renovations included new safety upgrades, renovations to the Lone Star Room reception hall and new scoreboards.

For those who were lucky enough to buy tickets and are traveling from outside of Austin, there are several hotels located near the Frank Erwin Center, including a Super 8, Sheraton and La Quinta Inn. Driving directions for the FEC are as follows. (From the Austin Bergstrom International Airport) 1. After exiting airport, turn left onto TX-71/E. Bastrop Hwy. 2. Turn right onto I-35. 3. Exit 15th Street/MLK Blvd. 4. Turn left onto 15th St. 6. Turn right on to Red River St.
