GUY Sebastian will open for Taylor Swift on her stadium tour of Australia.

"I'm stoked to play with someone who is so popular and is going to fill massive stadiums because she has such a loyal fanbase," Sebastian said.

"It's going to be a whole new demographic for me. Taylor's fans really love her and it'll be nice to perform for them. She's a huge force to be reckoned with, people have to remember she's an amazing songwriter as well as a performer."

Sebastian will join Swift at Sydney's Allianz Stadium on December 4, Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium December 7, Perth's NIB Stadium December 11 and Melbourne's Etihad Stadium on December 14. An opening act to play before Sebastian is also set to be announced.

Swift's pre-sales have been incredibly strong this week, with the general tickets going on sale next Tuesday.

Sebastian is about to head to the US to continue to promote his Australian No.1 Battle Scars, a duet with US rapper Lupe Fiasco.

The song has been getting major radio play in LA and is hovering around the bottom of the Billboard Top 100, peaking at No.71 so far.

"Last month it had its biggest week of sales yet and it's still getting smashed on radio over there," Sebastian said.

"Songs last forever in America. Here you promote a song and move onto the next one. We've been working Battle Scars for months and months in the US. The record label said June will be its marketing and radio peak and that seems to be the case. Hopefully the song will open some doors for me over there and I can release my album in America."
