every night with us is like a dream

this past weekend i saw taylor swift in concert when she brought the 1989 world tour to metlife stadium (as you probably saw if you follow me on instagram #sorry #notsorry). it was my first time seeing her in concert and it was a dream. i've been a huge fan of taylor's for nine years now. nine! each of her albums has been the soundtrack to a year of my life, and i have always related to her music in a way that i've never experienced with any other artist. i think this is why when she surprised us all by playing "you belong with me," i felt such a powerful wave of emotion and nostalgia that i started crying. i was kind of a hot mess, but they were happy tears.

the concert was incredible. taylor opened with "welcome to new york" and ended with "shake it off" and in between she sang the entire 1989 album plus some throwbacks ("love story" & "you belong with me") plus some twists on the classics (rock version of "we are never ever getting back together" & dramatic version of "i knew you were trouble" & medley of "enchanted" and "wildest dreams"). she also brought out all her supermodel friends and nick jonas aka my first love. they sang "jealous" together and i was jamming in absolute heaven. unless beyoncé makes an appearance at one of these shows, i don't think that can be topped.

here are my impressions: taylor is literally the cutest human. she is so talented and sweet and engaging with the audience. she has amazing stage presence and is an even better performer than i realized. also, homegirl is truly rocking the crop tops. she changed outfits at least ten times. she sounded great live and she danced and played guitar and piano. she was just generally killing it all around. it was so exciting to finally see her in person, and everyone there was clearly having the best time. all i can tell you is that even if you barely tolerate taylor swift (what is wrong with you), GO BUY A TICKET FOR THE 1989 TOUR RIGHT NOW AND IT WILL BE WORTH EVERY PENNY YOU SPEND. mad love for real.
