Taylor Swift already has the hottest album in the country, with her new “1989” estimated to have sold more than a million copies last week.

Next year, she’ll have one of the hottest tours.

Swift will launch the 1989 World Tour May 20 in Bossier City, La. She will play arenas and stadiums in five countries and come to Chicago’s Soldier Field on July 18.

Swift announced the tour on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
