Taylor Swift Hits Career High With ‘Speak Now’

Country singer, Taylor Swift, has reached a career high with her No.1 song, ‘Back to December’ and soaring sales for her latest album. This is the seventh time in her career that the 21-year-old has one of her singles reach the coveted top spot in the charts, reports US Magazine. On top of that, her latest album, ‘Speak Now,’ which was released in 2010, just got certified platinum for the third time.

Taylor Swift is currently on World Tour, and has just finished performing to sold-out crowds in Asia, and is headed to tour Europe next, with Brussels being her next stop. A source close to the star told US Magazine. “She’s pooped, but putting everything into this tour to make it the best thing anybody has ever seen.”

She is set to hit the US after her European tour and will begin touring on May 27 in Omaha, Nebraska. She also revealed the opening acts to her concerts this week, according to CMT. Some of the artists who will be opening for Needtobreathe, a rock band that will open all of Swift’s shows, include new artists, Frankie Ballard, Danny Gokey, Hunter Hayes, Josh Kelley, Randy Montana, James Wesley, and Charlie Worsham.

Swift has become a country music icon, and at 19, became the youngest-ever winner of CMT’s top trophy for entertainer. A native of Wyomissing, Pa, she began writing songs at age 5 and at 13 signed a record deal with RCA. A year later, she broke the contract because she did not want to sing other singers’ songs but her own.

She then signed with Sony, but didn’t want other singers to sing her songs, and so she was urged to sign with indie label, Big Machine Records so that she would to write and sing her own songs, according to People Magazine. Since then she has released three No.1 albums, and has won four Grammys.
