On Sunday Night, country sweetheart, Taylor Swift, was crowned Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards.

On Monday and Tuesday night, she played the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden, to sold-out crowds in New York City.

These two shows at MSG marked the end of the North American leg of her extremely successful Speak Now Tour. Swift has been bringing out special guests to perform with her throughout the tour run, and these past two nights were no exception.

On Monday night, John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls joined Swift on stage to perform the band’s mega-hit, “Iris.” The country superstar dubbed “Iris” as one of the greatest songs ever written. I definitely agree with her.

Last night, Swift continued with the special guests. First, she brought her good friend, Selena Gomez, to the stage. The best friends sang a duet of Gomez’s song, “Who Says.”

Later in the night, Swift performed with music legend, James Taylor. He also happens to be her namesake. Swift shared with the crowd that she was named after the superstar singer-songwriter. He joined Swift for a performance of his timeless hit, “Fire and Rain,” as well as played guitar during Swift’s “Fifteen.”

With this leg of the tour wrapped, Swift will enjoy some down time before taking her tour world-wide starting in March 2012.

Check out the videos from MSG! Thanks to Taylor’s fans!

Taylor Swift Opens Up Dress Rehearsal to Help Tornado Victims

Jessica Crans — Wed, 11 May 2011 03:29:05 +0000

Lucky fans in Nashville, TN will get to see Taylor’s last dress rehearsal before she opens her tour in Omaha, NB on May 27th. The dress rehearsal will take place on May 21st at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville, TN. The event is called “Speak Now…Help Now” and 13,000 fans will be allowed to attend. The rehearsal is to help victims of the tornados that hit the south just a few weeks ago.

“I was watching the coverage of the tornadoes backstage at rehearsals, and I wanted to do something for the families affected by the damage,” Taylor said. “I’ve never opened a rehearsal to the public before, but I felt that inviting my fans to the last rehearsal for the Speak Now Tour would be a great way to raise money. So, tickets will be available for people to come see us in the Bridgestone Arena, where we’ve been rehearsing for the last five weeks.”

100% of ticket proceeds will go towards the tornado victims. You can get ticket info at www.taylorswift.com

“We’ll probably still be doing some fine-tuning to the show that night, since this will be a true rehearsal,” she said. “But I feel like it is so important for me and my fans to help if we can.”
