WHO: Taylor Swift will replace Eric Church as opening act during Rascal Flatts’ “Me and My Gang” tour. Gary Allan will remain as the middle act. At the tender age of 16, Taylor Swift has ascended lightning fast through the ranks of country music stardom. Despite her youth, she has been performing publicly for six years and writing her own songs and playing guitar for four. Taylor has signed on with Big Machine Records, founded in 2005 by music industry veteran Scott Borchetta. Taylor’s debut album is set to release on October 24, just two days before her appearance at the Frank Erwin Center!
