She moves around the venue and uses different stages, giving every audience member a great seat. Here is what some of the top critics from around the globe had to say after seeing Taylor's Speak Now Tour: "Swift's two-hour production was an overwhelming experience. There's an enormous amount of detail that worked to make the Speak Now Tour a sort of next step in country concert presentationit blended the pacing, the music and the artist's personality in a way that transfixed." Billboard "['Speak Now'] went off, as did every number, with clockwork professionalism and thousands of voices singing along and screaming between the lines. Ms. Swift, 21, is their superstar....her songs are taut, tuneful narratives." -- The New York Times
