Country/pop crossover artist Taylor Swift has earned the top spot on the list of the current Top 20 Concert Tours in North America.

Considering that summer concert season has only just begun, the rankings are likely to change as the summer rolls on. However, Swift is expected to remain strong throughout, as her concert tour is already among the year's top grossers worldwide, netting a 30% increase in ticket demand over her massively-successful Speak Now World Tour.

The list, based on data provided to the trade publication Pollstar by concert promoters and venue managers, ranks artists by average box office gross per city and includes the average ticket price for shows in North America. Each artist's ranking for the previous week is listed in parentheses. Check out the full rankings below via The Huffington Post:
