Taylor Swift adds dozens of new shows

With the first leg of her sold-out "Fearless" tour finishing up this weekend, Taylor Swift has unveiled the second segment of the North American outing behind her chart-topping sophomore album.

Swift will complete the first leg of her run Saturday (10/10) with a concert in St. Paul, MN, followed by a break over the holiday season. After an Australian excursion in February, the country songstress will return to the States for the 37-date trek, which kicks off March 4 in Tampa and runs through a June 2 performance in Washington, DC. The full schedule is below.

Venues for the lengthy tour will be announced in the coming weeks, according to a press release. Ticket on-sale information hasn't been announced.

The 19-year-old performer, the youngest artist in history to be nominated for the CMA's Entertainer of the Year Award, released her second studio set, "Fearless," last fall. The record spent 11 weeks atop The Billboard 200, making it the 10th longest-running No. 1 album in the history of the chart, and setting a record for the most weeks at the top for a female country artist.

Like her 2006 multi-platinum debut, Swift wrote or co-wrote every song on "Fearless," including seven tracks by herself. She is the first female artist in country music history to take writing credit on every song of a platinum-selling debut.

In April, Swift took home Album of the Year honors for "Fearless" at the 44th Academy of Country Music Awards show in Las Vegas. She was also awarded the Crystal Milestone Award, given for "outstanding achievement in country music."
