Taylor Swift 'Fearless' Again in 2010
(AP)
Country singer Taylor Swift is kicking off a second leg of her "Fearless" tour in Australia in February.
She'll also be playing nearly 30 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada.
"We had so much fun on the `Fearless' tour the first time around that we decided that we had to keep going with it," she said. "So we will be relaunching the `Fearless' tour in February in Australia, and then coming back and doing a bunch more cities in America."
The 2010 tour opens Feb. 4 in Brisbane. Swift will do five shows in Australia. She'll also be playing nearly 30 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. Kellie Pickler and Gloriana will return as the opening acts.

All 52 concerts on the 2009 tour, including New York's Madison Square Garden, sold out in minutes. Swift said she hopes the second go-round will be as successful.
"I always expected to have to do a lot of stressing out about selling tickets. And then I went on my first headlining tour, and everything just sold out," Swift said. "I've never expected that kind of success. I've never just felt entitled to my shows selling out or things like this happening to me, but the fact that they've happened to me has been wonderful."
She said her fans make her feel like she's "won the lottery of dreams coming true."
Swift, 19, was the first country act to win at the MTV Video Music Awards, beating out Beyonce and other acts to win best female video for her hit "You Belong With Me." (Kanye West hijacked her acceptance speech, but later apologized.)
