Taylor Swift Fearless Tour stops at the Target Center

Taylor Swift's Fearless Tour will stop at the Target Center Sunday, October 11 at 7:00. One of the most highly anticipated Country Music tours of the year, the Taylor Swift Fearless show will combine country music songs and sounds with a Britney Spears like production quality to produce a one of a kind show that should not be missed.

Joining Taylor Swift on this tour is good friend American Idol's Kellie Pickler. The two girls co-wrote Kellie's current single "Best Days of Your Life" as revenge against a boy who wronged Kellie and Taylor provides backup vocals on track as well as the rest of Kellie's album.

Opening for the show is Gloriana, the new country group who just released the hit of the summer, "Wild At Heart". The group along with pumping up the crowd is out to promote their new album that will drop later this fall.

Tickets to this show are already sold out but can be found online and through ticket brokers like Ticket King. Buy soon before even these sources are all out!

Minnesota Timberwolves announce big changes and a new head coach

Timberwolves Player #33 taking a Jump Shot
Earlier this week the Minnesota Timberwolves announced the Kurt Rambis will be the new head coach for the team. Coach Rambis wasted no time making it clear that he was in sync with David Kahn and that Timberwolves fans should expect to see big changes this season. The Timberwolves roster was shaken up and stripped down almost to nothing. New players are being brought in, with the hopes that the MN Timberwolves will return to their Kevin Garnett glory days... when Twin Cities basketball fans were eager and excited to go to games. Even if the playing itself doesn't pull people into the Target Center, potential newcomer Ricky Rubio sure will. The 18 year old Spanish Heart-Throb is exactly the "star" player that the Timberwolves need to generate excitement and increase ticket sales.


While I wouldn't go as far as saying that the Timberwolves will sell out the Target Center, I do think there will be more demand for T-Wolves tickets this season than there has been in recent years and if you don't want to be left out of the newest Twin Cities sports trend I would suggest scooping up tickets now.

Demi Lovato at Target Center

Demi Lovato signing autographs for fans on the red carpet
If you have or know of a "tween" girl, than you have heard of the Jonas Brothers and probably of heard of their Disney Channel Movie, Camp Rock... but perhaps you haven't heard of Demi Lovato the Jo Bro's co-star in the flick. Unlike many of the other Disney Pop-Starlets, Demi has some real talent and could be one of the next "big things". Another thing that sets her apart is the fact that she doesn't seem to have the attitude or diva behavior that some of the other Disney Darlings have exhibited, it should be a show that both tweens and moms will enjoy.


Demi Lovato is making a stop on her summer tour August 8th at the Target Center. Opening for Demi is American Idol's David Archuleta. The concert starts at 7:00, with doors opening at 6:00.

The Fray at Target Center Minneapolis

Most Twin Cities music fans already have The Fray concert at the Target Center next Tuesday July 21st on the radar, but in case you haven’t found tickets yet, there are still some out there.

In fact, I was goofing around on the internet today and I found this cool new The Fray Tickets site. It looks like they will have concert tickets for all of The Fray Shows plus you can get all of The Fray song lyrics from the site and Fray band information.

They have some Target Center floor tickets which are all standing room general admission only for this show. The Fray Tickets web site also has seats in section 112 which is a great lower level Target Center section. Plus, the prices are pretty reasonable especially since concert tickets can be expensive these days.

If you haven’t bought your Fray Tickets yet, I would recommend checking out The Fray Tickets.com


See you at the show!

Beyonce is coming to the Target Center

The Queen of Female Empowerment, Beyonce, will be in the Twin Cities playing at the Target Center on July 16th at 7:00. On her summer "I am.... Sasha Fierce" tour promoting her double album of the same name, Beyonce explains to media that the whole point of this album was growth. The "I am..." part was a self reflection and an inner-look at who she is as a person. And the "Sasha Fierce" portion of the album and the tour is the alter-ego that she created. Sasha Fierce is feisty, sexy, independent and one of a kind, everything that Beyonce feels fans should be as well.

Staring with her is younger sister Solange, who will be opening for Beyonce and performing songs she has been working on that also come from a personal place. The Tour will benefit the Newman Foundation, that works to promote the medical significance of research, and the Survivor Foundation which helps to change the lives of victims of social, economic and catastrophic disasters.



Tickets are still left for this show and it is one of the last on the "I am..." tour, buy now and don't miss this DIVA in action!
