Pop music's blue-eyed, blonde-haired tween Queen Taylor Swift will return to Australia this December for a series of ambitious stadium shows as part of her worldwide tour to promote her album Red.
American Swift, 23, who has sold an estimated 26 million albums and won seven Grammy Awards, will open her Australian tour at Sydney's Allianz Stadium on December 4, before playing at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on December 7, Melbourne's Etihad Stadium on December 14 - all of which hold over 45,000 fans.
She will also play NIB Stadium in Perth on December 11. If she sells out these venues, Swift can be expected to add extra shows to her tour.
Her album Red topped the album charts here, as did her previous record, Speak Now, although it's been a while since she's had a number one single here: Love Story in 2008.

A statement from promoter Mushroom promised Swift would perform on "multi-level stages", change costume 10 times and play several instruments during a spectacular show. Tickets will be priced "from $85", more expensive than in the US, where she vowed to keep tickets "under $50" for the North American leg of her Red tour.
The country-pop crossover artist toured Australia in March last year and in February 2010, playing at large indoor venues on both tours.
Swift has become almost as well known for her high-profile relationships as her music, dating a conveyor belt of stars including Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor Kennedy and most recently One Direction's Harry Styles.
