Hyde Park's British Summer Time has now officially announced that thoroughly-nice all-round good-girl Taylor Swift will perform next year, on Saturday 27th June

Swift is the first headliner announced for Barclaycard presents British Summer Time and is the only female artist in music history (and just the fourth artist ever) to twice have an album (2010's Speak Now and 2012's RED) hit the 1 million plus first-week sales figure in the US.

As the London date on her global tour, Taylor will top a line-up of acts to be announced soon as part of the event.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am, on Monday 10th November, and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.

Jim King, Senior Vice President Live Events, said, "It is an absolute honour for AEG to announce Taylor Swift as our first headliner for 2015. As one of the World's biggest artists and one who never fails to deliver incredible live experiences for her fans, Taylor Swift performing on Hyde Park's Great Oak Stage will be a highlight of 2015 and we couldn't be more excited to welcome her back to London."

Liz Mullins Director of Events at The Royal Parks, added, "Since it began in 2013 Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park has become a firm favourite in the events calendar, bringing a diverse range of entertainment and the world’s biggest artists to this iconic park. From The Rolling Stones to Black Sabbath, Lionel Richie to Tom Jones, comedy nights and family days there has been something for everyone. We are looking forward to working with our partners AEG Live to once again bring this truly unique event to Hyde Park."

The UK leg of The 1989 World Tour will kick off on 23 June in Glasgow at The SSE Hydro – Taylor’s first ever live show in Scotland. The tour then hits Manchester on 24 June at the Manchester Arena, before Taylor headlines Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park 2015 in London on 27 June.
