ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT
She is, quite simply, a global superstar.
Taylor Swift is a seven-time GRAMMY winner, and the youngest recipient in history of the music industry’s highest honor, the GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year. She is the only female artist in music history (and just the fourth artist ever) to twice have an album hit the 1 million first-week sales figure (2010’s Speak Now and 2012’s RED). She’s a household name whose insanely catchy yet deeply personal self-penned songs transcend music genres, and a savvy businesswoman who has built a childhood dream into an empire.
But the numbers don’t tell Taylor's story half as well as she could. After all, it’s the intangibles that elevate Swift into the stratosphere of our pop culture planet, allowing the 24-year old singer-songwriter to orbit in a more rarified air. Her large-scale charitable contributions are one thing, but it’s in the small gestures – the notes of compassion she posts on the Instagram photos of lovelorn fans, the genuine hugs she distributes without discretion – where Swift proves time and time again that platinum-selling, record-setting success has not changed her inherent nature. She is awkwardly honest and powerfully empathetic; a brazen superfan, loyal friend, fierce protector of hearts; and one of the world’s greatest ambassadors for the power of just being yourself.
Granted, for Taylor, “being herself” tends towards shimmering, gossamer perfection – but that’s an image regularly blown whenever she dons fake braces and a tri-pony to clown around on late night TV. She’s the first artist since the Beatles (and the only female artist in history) to log six or more weeks at #1 with three consecutive studio albums, and while she’s been named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, she’s probably the only person on that list who uses social media to post notes to her best friends and videos of her cats.
As Billboard’s only artist to receive this nod twice and youngest-ever Woman of the Year prepares to release her fifth album, 1989, she finds herself, as always, in the glare of a blinding spotlight of expectation – but if you think that scares her, you haven’t been paying attention. She calls 1989 her most sonically cohesive collection, and armed with a multiple-week international No. 1 debut single, “Shake It Off,” she’s ready to blaze into the next phase of her still-young career, where she’ll continue to dance like no one’s watching, write like she stole our collective diary, and inevitably soar to ever-greater heights. All that’s left to wonder is how many more lives she’ll lift in the process.

The concert was amazing, Taylor was shocked about people aplauding her. She had great lights and dancers. She was so nice...She even took pictures with people in the crowd!!!!! the only thing is that i would have liked to have her autograph but well...i had so much fun....
Taylor was amazing!!!!! I just wished I had a floor seat so I could have had a chance to see her upclose and gave her a hug...
I've seen a lot of concerts in my life, of all different genres, and I must say that Taylor Swift's Fearless Tour was one of the BEST. Not only were her opening bands excellent as well, her stage show was incredible! It all came together perfectly: stage presence, lights, sound, entertainment, costume changes, crowd interaction...everything! I HIGHLY recommend it for all ages. Whether you're a die hard fan, or getting dragged to go by a friend, you'll have a good time...guaranteed! :)
The Taylor Swift concert in Calgary was incredible, fans of all ages were on their feet cheering and singing along with the lyrics of her songs. Taylor is a great entertainer, who engages the audience, and almost creates a story line connecting her songs with the thread of revenge, and if you wrong her she'll write a song about it. My daughters ages 12 and 15 said it was the best concert they'd ever seen, I agree.
I cant say enough about Taylor Swifts concert last night. She was incrediable. For a 19 year old she sure knows how to perform. He voice is breath taking. I would love to see her again in concert.
It was great! Would love to go again. Absolutely was amazed at the waterfall -word display.
This was the best concert i have seen! Her performance was just spectacular! It was very creative and lots of fun! It was awesome how she came into the crowd it was insane being that close to her! She is such a beautiful person and her songs are so touching. There was a part where her music just touched me and i started crying! The opening acts were good as well! All the props and clothing changes! And the opening was incredible! As was the closing! Over all it was amazing and worth every penny! Last night it wouldn't have mattered where you sat it was over all an amazing concert! Love you t-swift!!!
I never was a Taylor Swift fan; I knew a few songs, so I had low expectations going into this concert, as I wasn't the biggest fan of her music. However, this was an unbelievable concert. By far one of the best I've ever gone to; it was simply phenomenal. Taylor is an excellent performer, and she seems amazingly humble, which is refreshing to see in today's world.
What a great concert! Right from start to finish! Gloriana was fantastic, Kellie Pickler was even better than I thought she was and put on a great show and Taylor Swift just blew everyone away! Probably the best concert I've been to...period. Awesome band, great stage and got the crowd pumped and standing from note one.
This concert was absolutely AMAZING! so unforgettable! She did so many cool things during the songs and I LOVED how she did the outfit changes during the concert..and how she came through the crowd and interacted with everyone. I liked how she did some of her concert in the back..it made everyone get the full experience! so awesome.
The concert was good, but not great. Taylor spent too much time listening to the crowd cheer and bashing boys. I enjoy listening to her sing, but not the rest of it. We get it, you write songs about boys that have broken your heart. It's getting old. It was an entertaining show, but I don't think I'd pay to see her again.
Taylor is a very talented singer and song writer who really knows how to hold an audience. Her show is unique and full of energy. I took my daughter and my daughter-in-law and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Great!! Worth every penny!
Taylor Swift is an amazing performer and person. Her stage presents is spectacular, and yet she is so humble. She was truly moved but the crowds 5 min applause, and this was only half way throught the show. Afterward, back stage, she thanked us for coming to see her! A very amazing show and a very amazing person!
I enjoyed seeing all the fans singing along to Taylor and amazed at how everyone knew all the words.
My husband & I took our 2 daughters ages 8 & 10 to the concert. They LOVE YOU TAYLOR SWIFT!!! I must say I was suitably impressed with the show for an entertainer of such a young age. The show was very creative & captivating. Taylor's stage energy was entertaining & her musicality was awesome. I would certainly recommend anyone to see the show!
The energy from all the performances was phnominal - the costume changes, interaction with the fans, the "theatrics" - a concert that will be unforgettable
I have been to many many concerts from Tina Turner, to Madonna, to Tim McGraw and thought that Taylor Swift's performance last night at the Calgary Saddledome was one of the best I've ever seen. She not only sang with emotion, but her stage show, which I thought to be somewhat theatrical, was a wonderful display of entertainment and of her artistic talents. She seems genuinely humbled by the applause of the audience. I would recommend for anyone to see her Fearless tour. (and for the record and the reviews of the Calgary Herald, I am over 40 years of age)
She has an amazing voice, the act was awesome, her band was great and overall it was a concert I will remember for a long, long time. : )
This was such a great concert, She got so into it for her first time being a headliner. She is gorgeous and she can sing!
I found that although Taylor Swift is a fantastic singer and entertainer, I found that the concert was a little drawn out. There were alot of delays in the show and she talked too much. It was more of a play than a concert. She's a fantastic opening act, but I don't think she's hit the "Headliner" status as of yet. I was disappointed that she didn't sing with Kelly Pickler.
