Speak Now (continued)

 Glow Stick Time!

You're going to laugh at this one! And I still to this day no not know where I got this idea from- it just popped into my head. And I have no idea what it has to do with Taylor Swift! After we were dressed in our 13 hoodies, we pinned glow sticks all over our bodies in the shape of a stick figure-

So this is what we looked like walking around the arena in the light... Pretty hilarious. 

 The Completed Look-

You're laughing now arent you? (: haha

Top: On the way to the arena. More superstition... Filling up with gas on pump #13! Window paint, hanging out the window screaming, freaking out and all!

Bottom: The "What? This isn't normal?" Face we were giving everyone.

At the Arena-

Below:  So we didn't get to the venue too terribly early- it was around 4:00pm and they were supposed to start letting us in at 5:30. We got to the arena and went straight inside- loved the looks we were getting! We were first in line and by far the craziest Swifties in Columbia. We were freaking out in line- Singing, jumping up and down and hyperventilating, trying to get people pumped up! (it worked!)

(Unfortunately this was before they made those glow stick mega packs with the glow glasses... So we had to improvise with old 3D movie glasses with the lenses popped out, safety pins, and glow bracelets.)

Inside the Arena-

We walked around and continued to laugh at the funny looks and whispers we were getting. But we didn't care. We were there to have fun! And show love to Taylor! We bought Taylor merch- T-shirts and matching leather "love love love" bracelets. (My dad bought mine when they first came out when we saw her open for George Strait in North Charleston, but that was in 2007... So I definitely lost it! Haha) 

Finding Our Seats-

After we got all of our Taylor merch, we went to find our seats. We ended up walking down to the lower level by mistake. I remember thinking, "Wow, it would be so amazing even to be this close!" But sadly we had to go to our correct section. We were all the way up, almost to the very last row. But we didn't care. We were so pumped just to be able to see the perfect Taylor Swift live in person!

We were freaking out when we got to our seats. We were hyperventilating, jumping up and down, screaming, singing and dancing to all of the opening acts, answering all the fan questions on the screen, and texting all the little contests that they were having. You know, the usual Taylor Concert set up.

Then, TAYLOR- 

When Taylor finally came on stage, I remember almost falling to the ground. I couldn't believe I was actually seeing her with my own two eyes. We were in the same room! All I remember the rest of the night was crying and singing along to every song. Me and my best friend had all of these dances that we do to all of her songs that we made up over the last few years. We had an amazing time and it was truly a Fairy Tale!

T-Party Scares-

We had so many people tap us on the should during the show to tell us we looked awesome and that we must be really BIG Taylor fans. Each tap on the shoulder almost gave me a major heart attack. (You cant help but wishing that one of those taps would have been a T-Party invite!)

Unfortunately, there wasn't a T-party that night. It was so nice that so many people went out of their way to come talk to us, take pictures, and let us know that we deserved to meet Taylor! I wish I had some of the pictures that people took with us! If by some miracle you are reading this right now, and you remember seeing us way back in 2011 and took a picture with us, it would be AMAZING if you could send it to me! - jessisfearless10@gmail.com

Thank you for reading my Taylor Swift Speak Now Experience! I tried my best to remember as much as I could! (:
