On October 22, 2012, Swift released her fourth studio album, Red.^[2] The album incorporates elements from different genres, namely dance-pop, indie pop, dubstep, Britrock, and arena rock.^[3][4][5] To develop and produce the album, Swift collaborated with other musicians and artists, such as Max Martin, Shellback,^[6] Gary Lightbody and Jacknife Lee.^[7]

On October 25, 2012, in partnership with ABC News, on the primetime TV special All Access Nashville with Katie Couric – A Special Edition of 20/20, Swift announced that she would launch a North American stadium and arena tour in early 2013 in support of her fourth studio album, Red (2012).^[8]

Swift told Billboard: "Of course, you know the tour will be a big representation of this record". She further stated, "I'm so excited to see what songs the fans like the most and which ones jump to the forefront, because that's the first step. We always see which songs are really the passionate songs and the ones the fans are freaking out over the most, and those are the ones that are definitely in the set list. I can't wait for that."^[9] Swift used Lenny Kravitz's version of "American Woman" as her entrance song.^[10] She sang a cover of The Lumineers's "Ho Hey" nightly, intertwined with her own "Stay Stay Stay".^[11]

On May 24, 2014, BEC-Tero, who had been acting as a promoter for the Bangkok stop of the show, announced that the show had been canceled due to the current political unrest in the area. Swift took to Twitter to express her sadness over the cancellation, stating, "I'm so sad about the concert being canceled... sending my love to the fans in Thailand."^[12]

The tour received positive reviews from music critics, with many citing Swift's atmospheric performances as a specific area of praise. Writing for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield praised Swift's "emotional excess [and] musical reach", stating that "...[n]o other pop auteur can touch her right now."^[13] Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian gave a five-star review, describing Swift as "staggeringly nice" and a "consummate crowd pleaser".^[14] Digital Spy contributor Emma Dibdin noted that the tour combined "whimsical spectacle with Swift's trademark emotional intimacy" and that it "capitalises on exactly what makes Swift such a powerful figure for her audience, the sincere blend of aspirational and relatable."^[15] In a more negative review, Rebecca Ford of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the intros before specific songs that, while "an appropriate fit for the audience," felt long and "brought down the energy of the show." Ford also mentioned that while Swift's voice "has gotten stronger over the years... [it] still has a habit of faltering or being too soft to hear over the band."^[16]

Swift became the first solo female artist in 20 years to headline a national stadium tour in Australia, the last being Madonna with The Girlie Show in 1993.^[20] Swift performed to a crowd of over 40,900 fans at the Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney, Australia, becoming the first female artist in history to sell out the stadium since it opened in 1988.^[21]

The Red Tour also became the highest-grossing tour by a country artist in history at the time, bringing in $150 million and surpassing the prior record held by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's co-headlining Soul2Soul II Tour, which earned $141 million.^[22]
