Taylor Swift Concert

           Last summer I when to a Taylor Swift concert. I woke up the Saturday of the concert not knowing that in just a few hours I would be in the same building as Taylor Swift. It was just a normal day for me I woke up, took a shower, and eat breakfast. Around I got a call from my old daycare provider who is now pretty good friends with my family. The first thing she asked me was if I liked Taylor Swift, and I said of course I do. Then she told me that her friend’s daughter was trying to sell two tickets for Taylor Swift’s concert that night at a really good price. I almost peed my pant I was so excited. She told me all the details and gave me the number to contact the person selling them. The last thing she said was not to get my hopes up to high because she could have already sold them to someone else, but by then my hopes were already up extremely high.

            I called the number and the mother of the girl selling the tickets answered. I asked her about the tickets, and immediately I knew from the tone of her voice that it wasn’t good news. My heart sunk, I was so disappointed. She said that the tickets had already been purchased, but that she would go check with her daughter to make sure. In the background I could hear her ask “You sold the tickets, right?” But the reply was not at all what I was expecting. To my amazement the daughter said no the tickets hadn’t been sold. Apparently the previous buyer had backed out at the last minute. I was elated. I could not believe my luck. I told her I would buy them and she and my dad worked out a place to meet to pick up he tickets. I immediately called one of my best friends Jaclyn, who is a huge Taylor Swift fan, and asked her if she wanted to go with me. I had totally forgotten that she was in North Carolina for a wedding. I felt awful that I had invited her and she couldn’t come. Next I called one of my other friends Maddie. The minute I asked her if she wanted to come she started screaming she was so excited.

            My day had started out as a normal Saturday and quickly turned into one that I will remember for the rest of my life. I was standing in Gillette stadium just minutes away from seeing Taylor Swift. The final opening act was just getting off the stage. We were mere seconds away. The whole stage fogged up and when the fog cleared Taylor Swift was standing in the middle of the stage. I almost passed out. I couldn’t believe she was actually standing there, in the same arena as I was.

            Half way through the concert it started to sprinkle rain. At first I was really disappointed. I thought it was going to ruin the rest of the concert, but then it began poring rain. It actually made the concert so much more fun. We sang and danced our heads off in the poring rain and it was a blast. By the end we were completely soaked through and our hands and feet were extremely wrinkly, but it had been so much fun that I didn’t even care.
