Taylor Swift's first headline tour was a spectacle but far from the over-the-top spectaculars of Britney Spears and Beyonce. No, this girl actually sings (no lip synching, at all) and writes or cowrites most of her songs. She even played a little acoustic guitar and piano. She also danced and pranced and changed costumes -- ranging from a drum majorette uniform to a white wedding gown.
To be sure, her sold-out show Sunday at Target Center was choreographed but not with the slickness of the aforementioned Brit and Be. Plus, on this final night of her first headline tour, T Sweezy promised pranks, and she and her opening acts, Gloriana and Kellie Pickler, delivered.
For details, read my review and see a video from Sunday's show.
As for the music, Taylor stuck to material from her two blockbuster albums plus a snippet of a Justin Timberlake tune.
Here is her set list:
You Belong with Me/ Our Song/ Tell Me Why/ Teardrops on My Guitar/ Fearless/ Forever & Always/ Hey Stephen (sung in audience, section 136, and finished on satellite stage)/ 15/ Tim McGraw (as she returns to main stage)/ White Horse/ Love Story/ The Way I Loved You/ You're Not Sorry (at grand piano) with a bit of Justin Timberlake's What Goes Around...Comes Around/ Picture to Burn ENCORE I'm Only Me When I'm with You (a track from deluxe version of her debut album)/ Should've Said No
