Taylor Swift opens solo tour
Swift played nearly two hours with graphics, sets and visual elements designed by Swift. Several original video elements and a fairy-tale castle lit by more than a million lumens of light were part of the three-act show.
She opened with You Belong To Me, part of a visual storytelling of some of Swift biggest hits. Act Two showcases Swift's musicianship with a stripped-down acoustic set. The final act includes high-energy renditions of several fan favorites. Swift plays seven different instruments and changes costumes eight times during the course of the show.
Pickler joined Swift for the encore I'm Only Me When I'm With You. Swift followed with Picture To Burn and Should've Said No where rain poured down as as it did during Swift's 2008 ACM Awards performance.
Kellie Pickler and new group Gloriana open all shows.
Swift's tour will hit 52 cities in 40 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada over the next 6 months. Every show with tickets on sale has sold out within minutes, including Madison Square Garden, which sold out in one minute. At Swift's request, $20 tickets were made available for the Fearless Tour.

CD reviews for Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has made the best CD of her young career with her fourth CD. The biggest difference is that Swift's singing, spotty on previous releases and live performances, is far far superior here.
Swift wrote all 14 songs here, which like her other albums tend to deal with relationships that have gone south. Swift's songwriting always has been one of her strengths, and that continues to be the case here - both lyrically and musically. Put simply, Swift knows a lot about penning ...
Taylor Swift took the county world by storm with her huge selling debut and its five hit singles. With a huge marketing push and myspace, Swift was on her way. Kind of like an Avril Lavigne for the teen female country set.
Sophomore slump? There's no indication of that. Swift once again writes her material - all 13 songs here with help sometimes from Liz Rose, Colbie Caillat and John Rich. Swift writes of what she knows about - relationships and teen love come and gone in songs speak to her fans. ...
