1989

We found out last fall that Taylor Swift was going to be taking her 1989 album on tour and Indy was going to be one of her stops this September.


The girls, especially Quinn, LOVE Taylor Swift. So Ryan and I surprised the girls with tickets to her concert for Christmas.  Going to the concert is one of those once in a lifetime experiences.  Although I am sure Taylor Swift will be back in Indy again in the future, knows if the girls will still like her then or if we will be able to go.  So we seized the opportunity and bought tickets.

The past few days leading up to the concert, the girls were very excited. They started listening to songs to get themselves prepared. The day of the concert, the excitement only mounted!


This being the girls' first true concert, I was uncertain what they would think.  


But the concert was an absolute blast! All four of us (Ryan included) really enjoyed ourselves and were in awe of how incredible the concert was.


Taylor Swift was such a great entertainer and had such a way of being so energetic, down to earth and engaging.  The girls sitting behind us were attending their tenth Taylor Swift concert - yes, tenth!  At first I thought that was insane, but after being at the concert, I sort of get it!  It was that good!


Quinn and Sullivan waiting in the LONG (and I repeat LONG) line for souvenirs.  


Quinn picked out this incredibly cute shirt....


And Sullivan picked out this coffee mug.  Sullivan loves herself a good cup - go figure! 


Every person had a bracelet taped to their seat when we arrived that looked like this...


We could tell it was supposed to light up, but we couldn't figure out how to make it work.  Everyone around us was in the same boat.  None of theirs worked either. Until.  Until Taylor Swift got on stage and began her first song.  All of a sudden the bracelets all lit up at the same time and was synced to her music.


It was AMAZING to see.  You can see all the dots in this picture.  It is everyone's bracelet lighting up at the same time.  Pretty cool to watch throughout the whole concert!

Sullivan Grace got pretty tired by the end of the concert and floated between Ryan and I.  She nearly fell asleep but was a trooper and held out to the bitter end.


Quinn was bright-eyed the whole time...


The concert was such a great experience and worth every penny we spent! Who knows... we might someday be the crazy people in the future attending our tenth Taylor Swift concert!
