NASHVILLE - Taylor Swift will be hitting the road again in early 2011 with an ambitious schedule that includes 19 countries on four continents.

Swift announced plans for an 87-date tour in a news release Tuesday that includes six stadium dates in the United States and five concerts in Canada.

The tour kicks off Feb. 9 in Singapore, then moves on to several European dates in March.

The U.S. leg starts May 27 in Omaha, Neb. Swift will then hit Canada, Australia and New Zealand later in the year.

The Canadian stops include Montreal (July 14), Toronto (July 15-16) and Edmonton (August 18-19).

The 20-year-old is one of music's top concert draws, selling out all 107 dates on her wildly successful Fearless Tour in 2009-10. Swift's latest album, "Speak Now," sold more than one million copies in its first week of release -- the best debut for an album since 2005.
