NASHVILLE, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. country music star Taylor Swift has announced plans to headline 87 stadium and arena shows in 19 countries next year.

The world tour is to support her "Speak Now" album, which sold more than 1 million copies in its first week of release.

Her latest concert series is to begin Feb. 9 in Singapore, AEG said Tuesday.

Swift is scheduled to play shows throughout Asia and Europe during the first quarter of 2011, before kicking off her North American tour May 27 in Omaha.

"Speak Now" tour dates are planned for later in the year in Australia and New Zealand, AEG said.

Swift's songs include "Mine," "Love Story," "You Belong With Me," "Our Song" and "Fifteen."

"I'm so excited to go back out on tour again in 2011!" Swift said in a statement. "The 'Fearless' tour was so much fun and even more unforgettable than I ever imagined, and I can't wait to get back out and play my new music from 'Speak Now'! The fans have been so amazing, and I'm thrilled to play in new cities around the world and meet even more of my fans in 2011."
