Yeah I'm definitely still optimistic of a couple of dates here early next year. Maybe just hope rather than expectation. Nothing on Taylor's schedule from November to March so you never know...she deserves a rest after this EPIC tour though.

Although I agree Dear John is a fantastic song (and one of the highs on Speak Now) I personally don't think it lends itself well to being a single. Just imagine how much it would need to be butchered for the radio!!

Better Than Revenge would be nice though!

Agree Dear John on an album track, no way she would release that as a single, its wont feel right as the song is way too personal

Only one cover on the DVD though, not sure if thats the best one she has done, but its all down to personal taste.

Have the feeling it will be a mash of songs from various concerts rather then just one concert from start to finish so for me a bit dissapointed.

Yes I thought that when I first saw the track listing. Not sure I'm that big a fan of chopped performances from all different shows. Don't get me wrong I'm delighted she is releasing this tour at all so I'm definitely happy to be getting anything.

I adore Drops of Jupiter and Taylor's version is beautiful! I'm sure there are probably better choices but I think they went for a "safe" choice and they could have got it worse.

Can't believe the tour only has a month left before the winter break, it has been a true EPIC and I hope Taylor has a ton of rest over the holidays and is refreshed to give us another classic album in 2012

Oh yeah I agree, I just love the song so much.

Can't believe Speak now is a year old now

^That trailer is EPIC!! Makes me even more excited to relive the tour in my own home. The box score numbers continue to stagger me, although we shouldn't be surprised anymore!!

I've been on that thread and no one stated that at all.

If you actually read it, People have stated she has grossed less on her tour compared to the likes of Katy, Rihanna and Britney

It's comments like that, that can lead to arguments between fanbases.

And she has not grossed less then any of those artists this year impossible.

Its great that people have different opinions, but to say that Katy, Rihanna, Britney have grossed more is clearly delusional. Stats don`t lie.

But its ok...UK people probably have no idea of her selling-power as she is not very known here.

Taylor's tours in the UK were really successful too...I'm not sure if all them were sell outs but I'm pretty sure the one I went to (at the o2 in London) was. It was a great night and she was brilliant! She's a really good singer live despite some people saying she can't sing

She has been listed in the 2012 Guinness Book Of World Records as the Fastest Selling Digital Album by a Female Artist for her album Speak Now, and Most Simultaneous U.S. Hot 100 Hits by a Female Artist

All her UK dates were a total sell out, many couldn't get tickets for the 02 in Lomdon.

People also forget she is the leading artist in total digital sales by a mile.
She has broken a whole host of records, if the guinness book of records listed them all guess she would get a double page spread.

Thanks for the link. Doesn't look like they deliver internationally though which is a disappointment, I may be missing something though?

Taylor played one of my favoutire songs from speak now for the first time live last night, the haunting never grow up.
Songs like this are the reason Taylor stands out so far from the crowd in the music industry.


Lovely song and shows up taylor's wonderful songwriting talent at its best. shame some spoilt it be screaming.
