The Fearless One is on the move! Judging from several tweets, The Agency is on route to Paris, France.
The website at Swift-France.Net announced a contest for a private Taylor Swift concert promoted by Goom Radio. I’d call this one confirmed.
According to the french website Evous, the concert will take place this Monday, October 18 in a secret location in Paris, France. Sorry, the contest is now closed. The performance is part of the worldwide release of Speak Now, which will be accompanied by a new world tour. 85 presentations are expected in 18 different countries.
There’s more but I have only as of yet unconfirmed hearsay on Twitter. Nevertheless, since everything is coming up way too fast, it might be of interest for you to know that the rumours going around say she will visit the UK sometime between the 19 and the 23 of October. I don’t like to spread rumors around but I’m afraid regular sources are a bit slow on the uptake right now and I’d like at least a few Swifties to be on the alert for the Fearless One showing up in their part of the world. There’s an additional speculation that the curly blond might also make a swift visit to Germany sometime around the 23 and 24 of October. Again, these are rumors going around Twitter and I have no official source to give you here.
Paris, November 18 is official but I’m not adding any UK or Germany dates until I see this show up in a news website somewhere.
The Philippine Star published an article in which Ovation Productions, the official promoter for Taylor Swift, announced the new date for the concert in Manila, Philippines would be February of 2011. As much as this is confirmed and official, you might notice there’s no exact date. Please follow Taylor Swift Philippines for future news.
We have some clarifications for the release calendar, this time via taylorswift.com.
