LOS ANGELES - Country-pop singer Taylor Swift on Tuesday announced a 19-nation tour in 2011 to support her best-selling album "Speak Now."
The tour will start in Singapore in February and take Swift to Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Hong Kong before moving onto Europe in March, and the United States in late May, tour organizers said in a statement.
Swift, 20, will play 87 shows in 2011 -- expanding her reach beyond the five countries she visited in 2009 and 2010 on her "Fearless" concert tour.
The Grammy-winning singer's "Speak Now" album debuted at the top of the U.S. album charts in October after good reviews and the best first week sales since 2005.
Her previous album "Fearless" -- filled with songs about teen love and the social perils of high school -- was the biggest seller of 2009.
"I can't wait to get back out and play my new music from Speak Now! The fans have been so amazing, and I'm thrilled to play in new cities around the world and meet even more of my fans in 2011!," Swift said in a statement.
In Europe, Swift will play shows in Milan, Paris, London and Madrid. The U.S. leg of the tour will kick off in Omaha, Nebraska on May 27.
The American Music Awards 2010 is under way on ABC. We're live-blogging the entire show. Here's what's happened so far.
Rihanna kicks off the show with a medley of songs that includes "Love the Way You Lie," "What's My Name" and "Only Girl (In The World)." It's pretty spectular, even if Rihanna's dancing is a bit baffling at times. Note: We're not lucky enough to get Drake's part of "What's My Name."
8:06 - Usher wins Favorite Soul/R&B Album for "Raymond v. Raymond."
8:12 - Jenny McCarthy is in the house! She and John Legend present the award for Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group to Black Eyed Peas. They actually look somewhat normal tonight.
8:15 - Enrique Iglesias takes the stage and performs "Tonight." Then, a marching band comes on stage and he goes into "I Like It" with Pitbull. I'm ashamed to admit part of me wants the entire "Jersey Shore" cast on stage right now. You too, Angelina. I had doubts about this performance at first, but the marching band won me over. But it still doesn't surpass my favorite Enrique tune: "Don't Turn Off the Lights."
8:19 - Miley Cyrus performs "Forgiveness and Love." No, there is not a stripper pole involved. For those of you haven't heard the tune, it's a ballad. Miley performs beside a stage filled with candles. She's kind of going for a goth look tonight. I kind of want her to perform a free tarot card reading. What did you think?
8:29 - Diddy and Dirty Money perform "Coming Home." The whole thing is a bit manic. Audience members' offbeat arm swaying doesn't help.
8:32 - Jessica Alba presents Favorite Country Female Artist to Taylor Swift, who takes the stage sporting some straight hair tonight. It's quite an alter ego and I can't adjust. Too much to process in one night. "I only want to thank the fans," she says.
8:34 - Kid Rock sings "Times Like These." Yawn...another Kid Rock ballad. Anyone else miss the old Kid Rock?
8:44 - Shakira wins Favorite Latin Music Artist. She couldn't be at the ceremony.
8:45 - The Black Eyed Peas perform "The Time." Like most of you, I've publicly pretended to hate this song. I call it cheesy and say it's destroying a "Dirty Dancing" classic. Privately, however, I bust a move with Fergie and friends. Two words: guilty pleasure. Don't hate.
8:55 - Katy Perry performs "Firework." She's initially accompanied by a children's choir. Then, there's fireworks on stage.
8:59 - Rihanna wins Favorite Soul/R&B Artist. What did you think of presenter Nicki Minaj's green hair?
9:01 - Well hello, Willow Smith. She introduces a performance by Justin Bieber, who sings "Pray" while playing the piano. I spent days wishing this was a cover of the MC Hammer tune with the same title. It's not. Still, Justin gives the tune "Heal the World" treatment, gospel choir and all. Preach it, Biebs.
9:11 - Brad Paisley wins Favorite Country Male Artist. He thanks his mom and dad, noting he likely has yet to thank them at any awards show. Awkward.
9:13 - Bon Jovi performs a greatest hits medley. The weakest part? Their new song, "What Do You Got?" I enjoyed the trip down memory lane, though.
9:25 - Justin Bieber wins T-Mobile's Breakthrough Artist Award. "I want to thank all of my fans for getting me here," he says.
9:28 - Pink sings "Raise Your Glass." Did anyone see a noticeable baby bump? I'm glad she skipped the circus act, which is not conducive to pregnancy. But overall, it's a strong performance. You can't really go wrong when glitter is involved.
Hey Everyone!
How’s it going?? So… I just wanted to fill you guys in…I’m done with my 4th record!!! Well, actually I have been done for a year… and now my record company have finally decided to release it. OMG..How nice! Thanks guys.
I have been dying to get back out on the road and do what I love the most… PLAY MUSIC. I know you guys have been waiting for a long time…..and so have I, but not by choice. I have been sitting with this record for a year now. It’s really special to me. I have produced a couple tracks alone for the first time, written solo, with friends, I have pushed myself and I feel proud.
In saying all that, this has been a really difficult record for me to create and to release. Not only is this the most meaningful and special record I have written, it is sincere, honest and close to my heart. But for the first time I experienced a bunch of bureaucratic BS. People do their best work when they are doing what they want, love and is natural for them, not when you are forcing them to be something that they are not.
From the beginning of my career my message has always been to be yourself and stand up for what you believe in. Follow your heart.
My first single off this record is called: “What The Hell”. This song is the least personal song to me off this album. It’s a fun and funny anthem. It has a broad message about personal freedom. It is the most pop track on the record.
I am shooting the video in 2 weeks and it will be out in January. I have been extremely busy designing Abbey Dawn and taking the line internationally for the first time, establishing “The Avril Lavigne Foundation” and focusing on my personal happiness and health. Balance!
Love you guys!

I was preparing the dinner yesterday when a dear friend of my called to ask me whether I’d be interested to attend the MTV EMA Awards. I thought she was kidding so I told her I’m not going anywhere without my bodyguard (sorry, honey).
Her reaction was “I’ve got a bad and a good news for you. The good one is you can take your husband with you, that goes without saying. The bad one is you have 40 minutes to change and get here and join us in the VIP section”.
Won’t bore you with how far is the “Magic Box” where the show took place place from the house we live in and that actually it was net net 15 minutes… the thing is we got there on time and had a fabulous view about 3 m from the small stage, close to all the stars who attended.
Tonight were the MTV Europe Music Awards which was the same thing as the MTV Video Music Awards couple months ago, but the difference its located in Europe, and have better singers than the American version. I enjoyed watching it, but I think if its called MTV Europe Music Awards, they should dedicated more awards or give performances to Europe artists out there cause there are tons,but I guess American music are more popular than Europe music that’s why there wasn’t anything really dedicated to them and just mainly focus on American music again like we need another award show that does that. Anyways, check out the winners below which features Lady Gaga, Eminem, Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, 30 Seconds To Mars, Paramore,and more.

King of Pop Michael Jackson pass away a year ago, but his legend will still stay with the world for many years. Here is the single off the tribute album to him called “Breaking News”. The tribute album will be released on December 14th. This song is amazing, and I love me some Michael Jackson music. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
