Last week was just another week in the life of 20 year old Taylor Swift. She started the week by generously giving $500,000 to the flood relief efforts in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. She was nominated for a number of CMT Music Awards and it was also announced that she will be honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She was named on the Victoria Secret’s Fifth Annual “What Is Sexy?” list and Maxim Magazine’s 2010 Hot 100 list. Her kiss with Taylor Lautner in the movie “Valentine’s Day” received a nomination for Best Kiss at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards and a dress of Taylor’s was included in a permanent exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Oh yeah, lastly, Taylor Swift Tickets “sold out” two shows in Newark, NJ and two shows in Long Island on four consecutive nights. Good thing she found some time to do some shopping in NYC, while being followed around by dozens of paparazzi.

It must be an incredible life for Taylor, but for the most part she seems very humble and down to earth. As her two year long “Fearless Tour” begins to come to a close, Taylor might have a little break to reflect on the last couple of years and her rise to the top of the music world. Looking to the future…keep an eye out for a new Taylor Swift album by the end of 2010.

Most of the shows remaining on Taylor Swift’s “Fearless Tour” are “sold out” at the box office, but with FanSnap you will always be able to find Taylor Swift Tickets. Opening for Taylor Swift at most of her shows will be the ACM’s Top New Group, Gloriana and American Idol sweetheart Kellie Pickler. Look for Pickler this summer, as she makes the shift from the “Fearless Tour” to Rascal Flatts’ “Nothing Like This Tour” beginning on June 25th.

(Update) Your next ticket to see Taylor Swift will be on November 7, 2009 when the emerging star hosts Saturday Night Live . Let’s see… We’d better see a skit that is Taylor’s visualization of how the VMA Kanye, Beyonce debacle should have played out. We’d like to see Taylor Swift brawling with Kanye, even if it is an SNL skit. SNL should also do a recurring skit throughout the night with Taylor Swift dating Taylor Lautner to make fun of her rumored relationship with the Twilight star. What else?

Taylor Swift tickets are among the hottest ticket fans searched for on FanSnap of any ticket in any Genre this year. Taylor admitted on her website that she was surprised at how popular her tickets were. On the heels of that success, Taylor announced new dates for the continuation of the Fearless tour for 2010 on her website.

Taylor’s good friend, American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler, again joins Taylor as a featured artist on all of the North American FEARLESS dates, and top selling new artist of 2009 Gloriana returns to open all of the shows.

Of course there is some irony here that we couldn’t help but notice. Just last month, Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV VMAs and interrupted Taylor’s acceptance speech for  “best female video.” Kanye went on Leno the next night and apologized. Just a few weeks later, Kanye West In Spite of Taylor Swift MTV VMA Debacle Announces Tour with Lady GaGa, which was canceled shortly after it was announced.

Now, Taylor, who at 19 is the youngest artist in history to be nominated for the Country Music Association’s prestigious Entertainer of the Year Award, will kick off her FEARLESS 2010 Tour on February 4th in Brisbane, Australia and play five shows Down Under before beginning her North American run on March 4th in Tampa, Florida. In 2010, Taylor will headline 37 shows in 29 cities in 22 states and provinces in the US and Canada.

Here’s what some of the nation’s top critics had to say about Taylor Swift and the FEARLESS 2009 Tour:

“Swift’s fans don’t just believe in her savvy songwriting and gracious, magnetic stage presence. They trust her as a peer. And if the unerring pleasures of her set – and the crowd’s Beatles-sized reactions – were any indication, they’ll be trusting her for a long time.” – The Los Angeles Times

“Country queen Taylor Swift charms the L.A. crowd.” – The Hollywood Reporter

“The two-hour, three-act spectacle doesn’t slow down.” – Rolling Stone

“Swift delivers delight at the Garden. For nearly two hair-flinging, spangly gowned hours, Swift showed why she’s all set to be the biggest star around. Swift writes like Everygirl and sings like her hero. That’s a combination that can’t be beat. A delightful performance. . ..her sold-out show felt more like a victory lap.” – New York Newsday

You may be the biggest Taylor Swift fan, or maybe her brand of country isn’t your cup of tea. Regardless, this story has to make you think, “go Taylor!”

The MTV Video Music Awards are over, yet the world is still abuzz over the Kanye West/Taylor Swift fiasco.

Antics aside, there were some memorable moments. Pink blew us away singing her latest hit  “Sober,” while wowing the crowd with a full on acrobatic performance (very Cirque de Soliel-esque).

Ticket prices can be a great gauge of fan excitement. Pink is currently on tour. Pink tickets are surging on her performance at the VMAs. Pink’s Funhouse tour ticket prices have even increased since she rocked the VMAs – up from $164 to $175.

The more than 2,000 Pink-related tweets on Twitter during her performance generally were raves.

Pink is in San Jose, CA September 17. Pink hits Los Angeles, CA September 18.  Pink will also be playing a New York’s Madison Square Garden on Monday, October 5 and wraps up the P!nk World Tour 2009 New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas. You can see a full list of Pink tickets and tour dates on FanSnap:

The 2009 VMAs had other great performances, including Taylor Swift who performed “You Belong With Me” on the NYC subway five minutes after getting dissed by Kanye West. Taylor Swift continues to see a steady increase in her average ticket price.  Jay-Z, however, who performed “Empire State of Mind” with the mind-blowing Alicia Keys (not only on vocals but also on the piano), continues to see the opposite trend, a decrease in average ticket prices.

Taylor Swift won “best female video” on tonight’s live broadcast of the 2009 MTV VMAs. During her acceptance speech, Kanye West

took the mic from Taylor and proclaimed, “Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”

That got us thinking here at FanSnap. Both Beyonce and Taylor Swift are on tour. Who are fans most excited to see?

Taylor Swift currently tops all artist searches on FanSnap.

Average ticket prices can also be a barometer of fan excitement. Beyonce tickets are currently averaging $372 each. Taylor Swift Tickets average $313 each. Both artists are very popular.

To put that in perspective as to just how popular these artists are, Britney Spears tickets average $206, Bruce Springsteen tickets average $209, and U2 tickets average $210.
