Taylor Swift coming back to Tulsa

Taylor Swift, fresh off the release of her new album "Red" this week, announced her latest concert tour on Friday, and it's bringing her back to Tulsa.

The country-pop singer-songwriter will perform on Aug. 7, 2013, as part of a 58-city tour to promote her latest album, which is expected to open at No. 1 this week.

No ticket information is available yet, with the tour stop 10 months away, but stay tuned for when it happens: Swift has sold out both of her past solo concerts in Tulsa.

She first played Tulsa's BOK Center as opening act for Rascal Flatts in September 2008 after the release of her first record, "Taylor Swift." She returned as headliner in September 2009 on the strength of her award-winning "Fearless" album, and again in September 2011 for her "Speak Now" tour.

The Tulsa tour stop is Swift's only concert date in Oklahoma scheduled on the tour.

"I didn't think I could be any more excited about my RED album, but then I start thinking about how I'm going to put the new show together for The RED Tour," Swift said on her website. "I have so many ideas about how to really bring this music to life, and I can't wait to share the new show with all my fans!"

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who performs a duet with Swift on the "Red" album, is the opening act for the tour.

I See Movies for Free

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
