Swift, who is bringing
her sold-out Fearless 2009 Tour to the Greensboro Coliseum Friday,
recently spoke with YES! Weekly about her career.
“Things are
just so crazy and I am trying to enjoy every bit of it,” said swift.
“This year has been amazing!” In the past she has toured with Rascal
Flatts, kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw &
Faith Hill, Brad Paisley and George straight.
“This
is my first time headlining,” said swift, “and it’s also really cool to
be traveling and playing with my good friend kellie Pickler. kellie is
super fun and we have such a blast together.”
Fearless was voted 2009’s Album of the Year by the Academy of Country Music, and reached double-platinum in just four weeks. Fearless was the year’s biggest debut for any female artist, and the fourth-highest debut of 2008. Now triple-platinum, Fearless has spent more weeks in the No. 1 position atop Billboard’s Top 200 all-genre CD sales charts than any other album this year.
Swift,
whose career record sales now top 7 million, currently holds the
Billboard all-genre record for most Top 20 debut in the calendar year.
earlier this year, swift sold out a show at Madison square Garden in
one minute, and one at los Angeles’ staples center in just two minutes.
In discussing her new release Fearless, swift says, “It’s a big
deal to title your album, so I wanted to make sure that it was the
right call. I started thinking about the word ‘fearless’ and what it
means to me. It isn’t that you’re completely unafraid. I think fearless
is having fears, but jumping anyway.”
