TAYLOR SWIFT “FEARLESS TOUR 2009” WITH SPECIAL GUESTS KELLIE PICKLER AND GLORIANA
Tickets on Sale May 1 @ 10 a.m.

After 11 days of Kentucky State Fair food, fun and fair action, country singer-songwriter Taylor Swift takes the stage with Kellie Pickler and Gloriana on the last night of the Fair. Pennsylvania-born Swift has emerged on the country/pop music scene as a successful crossover act, with her self-titled debut album producing five hit singles on the Billboard charts and being certified three-times Multi-Platinum. At only 19 years old, Swift has hit it big with “Tim McGraw,” “Teardrops on My Guitar” and “Love Story.” Swift picked up two 2009 Academy of Country Music (ACM) awards – one for album of the year as a performer and producer for “Fearless” and another for the Crystal Milestone award for selling more albums than any other artist in 2008, for the international success of "Love Story" and for attracting younger listeners to country music. Fellow country artist Kellie Pickler rose to fame after finishing sixth place on American Idol in 2006. Her debut album generated three top 25 singles, with “I Wonder” reaching #14. Country music newcomer Gloriana released its first single, “Wild at Heart” in 2009. Band member Cheyenne Kimball has achieved independent success as the winner of TV show America's Most Talented Kid at the age of 12 and the subject of a MTV show called “Cheyenne.”
