Taylor Swift Concert (finally)

Let me just say this...AMAZING!!

I can't believe that this girl is only 19 years old. She put on such a great and exciting show! What is even more impressive is that she writes all her own songs. After the concert I thought to myself,

"Man, this girl gets around!"

But I don't really think that. She just has a talent of taking experiences and turning them into incredible stories with music! If I had the talent of that, I would have had plenty of things to write about by the time I was 19 also...but I will save those for another time and place.

Taylor Swift is incredibly likable and you can see how grateful she is to be doing what she loves. There were a couple of times that the crowd was cheering and you could tell that she was just taking it all in. As a mother of young girls, that just so happen to love Taylor Swift's songs, I appreciate how kind she is. I really hope that she can remain a good role model and not begin the whole scene of partying and making trouble. I don't like the idea of kids looking at celebrities like they are heroes, but I do appreciate that Taylor Swift encourages girls to be true to themselves, love their family, and to do what they love.

Okay, so onto the concert pictures and videos. As we pulled up to Mandalay Bay, we saw 7 diesel-trucks, along with the Taylor Swift tour bus. They didn't have any barriers, so we decided to go take a picture. Here are my friends Lara, Nichole, and myself standing to the side of it. Finally we got to our seats! Even though we were in the back of the venue, we were pleased to see that we could still see the stage pretty well. I don't think there could have been a bad seat in the house. Kellie Pickler came out and performed before Taylor Swift did and she was honestly better than I thought she would be. She sounded great and looked gorgeous! I was drooling over her hair the entire time. I wish my bangs were finally grown out, I would do my hair just like hers! Then here a a bunch of Taylor Swift. I wish my pictures would have turned out better but what can you do when all the lights are out and everything is moving around? About half way through the concert, she surprised everyone and started singing "Hey Stephen" in the very back of the venue in the aisle. It was pretty cool. The she made her way down the stairs, hugging, signing autographs, and taking pictures with fans. She finally got onto this little hidden rotating stage and sang a few songs with just her guitar. Then once again, she made her way through the crowd to the stage. She was seriously making the day of some of these super fans, fans like my sister! I love living so close to Las Vegas so that I could do things like this every now and then. These are also fun opportunities for me to see some of my family. This is the second concert this year that I was able to see my sister, Bailey. A few months ago, my brother and sister and their spouses met up with us for a concert. Its a great meeting point and something fun that we can do together every now and then!!
