Taylor Swift is heading Fearlessly on a world tour.

After eight weeks (and counting) at the top of the album charts, the 19-year-old country star is readying for a lengthy first round at headlining. The starlet has opened for the likes of Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and the Rascal Flatts, but she'll be the final performer this time around.

The tour kicks off  Feb. 10 in San Antonio, followed by a  March 1 show in Florida. After a couple dates in Australia, Swift goes full-tilt boogie—hitting more than 50 cities in 38 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada—for nearly six full months. Ticket prices start at $20 (plus fees) in most markets.

Each concert will feature graphics, sets and other visual elements—including an illuminated fairy tale-like castle—designed by the singer herself. She'll play five different guitars as well as the piano, and have several wardrobe changes (although no word on whether or not any of those will include her new l.e.i. creations for Wal-Mart).

Her good friend, American Idol alum Kellie Pickler, is set to open each show.
