Taylor Swift revealed she’s heading out on tour next year on Friday’s “All Access Nashville with Katie Couric.”
“We are starting with 58 shows in 45 cities in 29 states and three provinces. Nine stadiums, 36 arenas,” Swift said.
The tour will begin on March 13, which, she pointed out is her “lucky number.”

The “pretty amazing” Ed Sheeran, who appears on her new album Red, will be the opening act.
Swift also discussed everything from her beloved cat Meredith to her songwriting process — and, of course, her infamous personal life.

Of the rumors surrounding songs on her new record, the singer said, “For me, the one thing that I keep really close is the identity of who the songs are about.”
She recalled how one ex told her she “better not write” about what transpired between them, but that didn’t stop her.
“[Whatever any exes think is about them] I probably hit the nail right on the head,” said Swift. “It’s probably really true.”
When Couric asked why Swift is willing to talk about her relationships in songs but holds back during interviews, she replied, “I just think that my personal stories sound better in a song than in an interview and quotes.”

As for the rumor mill, the songstress reiterated that she tries to stay away from all the gossip out there.
Swift explained, “I just have a huge priority on being happy. And for me happiness doesn’t include Googling myself and checking what the minute-to-minute perception is of me right now.”
Still, she admitted to having some very serious fears about her future, “like losing everything. Losing my friends and my family and ending up alone and crying and stuff.”
“I really want to end up happy,” she told Couric. “That’s the biggest thing for me.”
