Taylor Swift Forced to Cancel Shows Due To Illness

By AOL Music Editors Posted Jul 6th 2011 07:30PM

It's a disappointing day for Taylor Swift fans. The teen queen was forced to cancel the next three shows on her Speak Now World Tour, slotted for this weekend. The Friday evening show in Charlotte, North Carolina and both Saturday and Sunday stints in Atlanta, Georgia are postponed until the Fall.

The singer-songwriter is battling bronchitis, and her physician has advised her to cancel her upcoming performances in order to rest.

"It breaks my heart to miss out on this weekend's shows with my friends in Charlotte and Atlanta," Swift says. "I would never cancel if I thought I was physically able to perform these shows. I am so sorry to the fans, but I look forward to seeing you when we come back through your towns, which we will do."

The Charlotte stop has been rescheduled for November 16, while the Atlanta shows will be moved to October 1 & 2. Taylor will resume her performance schedule July 14 in Montreal, Canada.

Last week, the 21-year-old had to postpone her her July 2 stop in Louisville, Ky. for the same reason. The show, which has been moved to October 11, marked the first time ever in her career that the 'Mean' singer has had to cancel.

"Louisville, I so sorry to have to postpone this show to Oct. 11," Swift posted on her Twitter page. "This is my first time having to do this. I'm so, so sorry."

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY DARLING!! Finally, a moral, ethical, decent example for our children. Thank you Taylor. We appreciate that you are NOT like all the rest. It's sad that being a singer with moral's is unique.

Isn't it amazing how so many can make so much moola by not having any real talent! Boggles the mind!

i think she can sing i like her very much.. all my neices and my sisters just went to her concert they all said she did great!

By Rick

Can't sing? Hmmm - multiple industry awards, thousands of fans, millions of dollars earned, international fame.....At what point do you haters look at the empirical evidence and realize that you're the fools who don't know jack about music?

By terri

yes she has a large fan base of children

God people are mean on these boards. Taylor is a sweet girl and i wish her all the best. I knew a girl who felt that Taylor couldnt sing, but this girl made it to the top 24 of american idol (even sang a taylor swift song a few rounds before being the first voted off by america that season)I suppose she has a little more expertise than most, but still shouldnt object to nice people with looks and talent gaining fame.

Now justin beiber, just plain sucks. I think the world would be better off if Casey Anthony had been his mom, then we wouldnt have this crap being plastered all over TV acting like he has looks or talent. He needs to learn to be humble, he goes on letterman and tells people he's goodlooking. If you have to tell people, then it must not be true.

Taylor is pretty, but like a Vermeer painting. I dont want to date her, (not that i'd turn her down) I just think she has a nice face (but not much of a figure).

They're all jealous freaks. She worked HARD to get to where she is...I'm no fan, but she has my respect for keeping her own in this tough, warped industry.

By Shelagh

Lucky people get their money back and don't have to suffer through her SO CALLED singing! Horrible live,she needs the help of electronics to hide her voice!
