Taylor Swift has exploded on the country music scene and has achieved fantastic commercial success with her hit singles. Taylor is one of the youngest songwriters to ever achieve this level of success, especially in such a short amount of time. Along with the success of her music, Taylor is embarking on her first national tour and she comes to Dallas for a sold out show on September 25.

An unconventional rise to prominence has benefitted Swift, a girl from Pennsylvania and the daughter of a homemaker and stockbroker. At only nineteen years of age, she's come a long way from her original venues of karaoke and local theatre, although her talent has always been evident.

By the time Taylor had reached the age of twelve, she was already writing her own songs and playing guitar. Within five years, she released "Tim McGraw", a single which peaked at number 6 on the country music charts. With the release of her album "Fearless" last year, she has established herself as one of the biggest names in country music.

Taylor's show in Dallas is one of many on her first tour, and she is one of the youngest headliners to visit the city. This year's tour is expected by many to be one of the top concert tours of the summer in terms of sales, as evidenced by the quick sellouts at so many of the venues.

Dallas' show is to be played at the American-Airlines Center, one of the largest indoor concert venues anywhere in Texas, home to the team's NBA and NHL franchises. Even with tens of thousands of tickets to offer, the show sold out in a matter of minutes, though ticket brokers always have great deals on shows like Swift's. Dallas is Texas' first city and one of country music's most lucrative markets and toughest crowds. Swift is expected to enchant the Big D like she has crowds across the US and Canada, with her extreme talent and beloved showmanship.

Although Dallas is a regular stop for a lot of major concerts, Taylor's first tour has generated a buzz in the city and fans are excited to see her show in September.
