Taylor Swift Tour Exhibit Opens at Country Music Hall of Fame
Taylor Swift fans will be thrilled to wander through the new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, which displays countless items from the superstar's most recent world tour. Titled 'Taylor Swift: Speak Now -- Treasures from the World Tour,' the exhibit features clothing, guitars and even the balcony from which the singer floated above the crowd.

More than 1.5 million people saw the tour, which consisted of 111 performances in 82 cities, 19 countries and four continents. There were 130 people in the cast of the show who traveled in 21 trucks and 13 buses to get to the concert dates.

The whole story played out with the groom and me running away at the end of the song, exiting the stage. Then I'd make my way out into the crowd."
Susan Hilferty designed the red ballet-style dress Taylor wore while singing "Haunted." Fans will remember she changed out of that dress while underneath one of the giant bells in the scene and into a short black
