BC Place is proud to welcome back Taylor Swift for “The 1989 World Tour” in 2015.

Taylor announced THE 1989 WORLD TOUR! Kicking off in Louisiana on May 20, 2015, the tour will hit North America and Europe before heading to Australia (playing BC Place, August 1, 2015).

Vance Joy, whose hit song “Riptide” was recently covered by Taylor, is supporting all North American dates and Shawn Mendes will also join the tour for select performances.

American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public. Members of the TaylorSwift.com e-mail list will also have access to pre-sale tickets. For more details, visit http://taylorswift.com/events/302193

Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ took the top spot this week, selling a staggering 1.287 million copies in opening week. That figure marks the single largest sales week for one album since 2002, when Eminem’s The Eminem Show sold just over 1.3 million copies.

The singer’s fifth album instantly becomes the best-selling album to be released in 2014. Before this week, no album released this year had achieved platinum status. Also this marks a milestone for Taylor as she is the only artist to have three million+ debut weeks for an album.
