Swift Stunned By Sold-Out Tour Date
Teen country singer TAYLOR SWIFT is stunned she sold out a 20,000 ticket concert in a matter of minutes - because she was convinced "no one would come".Swift, 19, booked Los Angeles' sports arena the Staples Center for a show in May (09) - one month after she kicks off her Fearless tour.
The singer slashed ticket prices to help fans cope with the world's struggling economy, setting the cheapest tickets for the U.S. and Canada dates at $20 (£14).
And Swift admits she feared booking such a big venue for her first headlining tour would be too much of a risk - until show bosses told her tickets were a hot commodity.
She says, "I'm freaking out. I can't even believe it. I started screaming because we thought it was a big risk to go to L.A. for the first headlining tour and go to the Staples Center, this big, huge venue. And then I got a call from my booking agent two minutes after it went on sale, like, 'Oh, by the way, it's sold out.' I had a closet fear that no one would come.
