Big Weekend For Taylor Swift in Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country Music Superstar Taylor Swift is taking center stage in Nashville for three days straight.  She is wrapping up the North American leg of her "RED" tour here in Music City.

Thursday night she performed the first of three sold out concerts at the Bridgestone Arena.

Taylor's "RED" tour has played to sold-out crowds across the U-S and Canada since March including 36 arenas and 9 stadiums. 

The shows in Nashville Thursday, Friday and Saturday end a record-breaking run where she played 58 shows in 45 cities.  

Taylor's buddy from the United Kingdom, Ed Sherran, is opening up all three shows here.  

Earlier Thursday Swift was presented with a plaque commemorating $4 million in sales for her album "RED" in the U-K. The album has sold six million copies worldwide.  

The singer said she wanted to save Nashville as the last city in the North American leg of  her tour.

Selena Gomez birthday plans

It's almost time to send birthday wishes to Selena Gomez. The former Disney star will be celebrating a big birthday on July 22, which is this Sunday. Gomez is leaving her teen years behind, she'll be celebrating her 20th birthday.

It will be a busy weekend and a big birthday for the "Love You Like a Love Song" singer not only because it is her 20th birthday, but also because her birthday is on the same day as the Teen Choice Awards. She'll be spending part of her night at the awards where she is nominated for three awards. Selena's boyfriend, Justin Bieber, is also nominated for multiple awards.

While celebrating at an award show will be fun, the singer and actress also plans to celebrate with her family.

“I’m going to dinner with my family; some of my grandparents are coming in from Texas, so it’ll just be nice family time," she said of her birthday plans.

Before she celebrates her birthday, though, she took time out to put smiles on the faces of other kids.
