Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Casey James has landed a plum touring gig.

He’ll be joining Taylor Swift for the final 20 dates of her “Red” tour, according to ABC News Radio.

Taylor announced four opening acts today. Joining her on other parts of the tour will be Florida Georgia Line, Joel Crouse and Brett Eldredge.

Eldredge will be the guest opener for Taylor’s shows in Washington, D.C. (May 11 and 12) and Crouse will be the guest opener for her shows in Philly (July 19 and 20), according to a schedule posted by ABC.

Casey joins the tour Aug. 6 in Wichita, Kansas. His stint includes four shows in Los Angeles, three in Nashville and one apiece in Greensboro, N.C. (Sept. 12), Raleigh, N.C. (Sept. 13) and Charlottesville, Va. (Sept. 14.)

If you plan to attend any of the shows, you’d better act quick. Most of the dates are already sold out.

Taylor’s tour also features Ed Sheeran as an opener on all the tour dates and 16-year-old pop singer Austin Mahone at many of the shows.

Casey, third-place finisher on Season 9 of Idol, enjoyed a good deal of success with his 2012 debut album, placing a pair of singles — “Let’s Don’t Call It a Night” and “Crying on a Suitcase” — on the country charts.
