Taylor has put the first dates up on his official website with Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Los Angeles getting the first view of the shows.

King and Taylor go back to the 70’s when he recorded her ‘You’ve Got A Friend’ and had a massive global hit with the song. Carole King also recorded the song for ‘Tapestry’, the biggest selling album of her career.
