Thank you, Taylor!!
HEY TAYLOR!
I have been a fan for years and I am so excited about attending the reputation Stadium Tour this August in Toronto! Your music has been the soundtrack to my life, so it is really exciting to get to see you perform the songs that hold so much meaning for me. I am going to be attending the concert with my sister and my mom who are also really big fans of yours.
The first time that I ever saw you perform live was one of the most magical, memorable times of my life. My family and I had tickets to see you at a festival in Ottawa that was actually cancelled by the city. When we were looking into how we would get refunded for our tickets, my mom stumbled across a headline that said you were rumoured to be a special guest at James Taylor’s Tanglewood performance. She immediately convinced my dad how awesome it would be to experience Tanglewood and James Taylor, even if your being there was just a rumour. Well, we got lucky! After driving for hours from Toronto, we lined up at the gates and heard you doing a sound check! I was so over the moon excited!! When you finally came on stage that night to sing Fire and Rain, I was just freaking out with my entire family. My dad twirled us around to Love Story and we were definitely getting lots of side eye from the other people around us. You also sang Ours, which has since become my all-time favourite song of yours. It was such an unforgettable night.
Fast forward to Red Tour, which was my first stadium concert ever. We went crazy with our costumes and signs that were all about our Tanglewood experience and our shared love for James Taylor. The whole night was so much fun and we really enjoyed singing, dancing, and having the best night of our lives. My sister was able to touch your fingertip as you were heading back from the B stage. She still tells anyone who will listen about how you stopped to read our sign and smile. You are so genuine and kind, which just makes being a Swiftie even more wonderful.
When the album for 1989 was released, I couldn’t believe that you had created such a unique and completely different sound for yourself. I was in love with the whole era and it is definitely one that has so many relatable songs that just speak to me. The costumes that we made for this tour were foxes and we saw you in the pit for both Montréal and Toronto. Montréal was so fantastic because we made some great friends waiting in line to get in. Kevin from Taylor Nation also came by and chatted with us. He even took our picture for the website, which was really cool. I was so amazed at how close we were to you that it just felt like such a surreal experience. It honestly felt like you were smiling and pointing at us both nights. I have heard quite a few people say the same thing and I find it amazing that anyone can feel a connection with you in a crowd of thousands of people! You have such a gift.
I am going to be at both shows in Toronto for the reputation Stadium Tour! The first night I will be in the Right Snake Pit. For the second night, we will be in Section A9, Row 27, Seats 4,5,& 6. Our costumes are rep Firefighters because we have your back, Taylor. Those flames are a thing of the past and we are ready to dance all night long with you! Hopefully, someday I will get the opportunity to thank you in person!
