My sister bought an extra bracelet for our best friend who is in FL and couldn't make it to the show, and then my husband goes and say "Let me have that for now. I'll give it back after the show". 😉 -Thamily

I had a private concert with 60,000 friends.

As I sit in my office on the monday after the Taylor Swift concert, I catch myself thinking about how I am still blown away by everything I've experienced this weekend. This wasn't my first TS concert, it was actually my third.

I went to the Speak Now tour in Boston in 2011, and the Red tour in Tampa, FL, in 2013 (Fun Fact: I decided to go to the Red concert at the last minute, and none of my friends could accompany me. I wasn't about to miss a Tay Tay show just because I had no one to go with, so I went by myself, and had the time of my life!)

Both concerts were amazing, theatrical, everything I expected from Taylor and more. But there was something different about this one. The Broadway-inspired sets that gave place to a more abstract scenery. The lights. A constellation of lights that turned the audience into a part of the set. Her performance is even better. But that's still not it. It's also not the different genre, it was deeper than that. She is more musically mature, yes. But there was something different about... her. 

For the first time in the 8 years I've been her fan, I felt connected to her. Taylor spoke to the audience a lot. And I am sure there are many parts that are scripted, as expected in an event like this. But there were times where she spoke about such delicate and intricate emotions, that you could see her heart right up on her figurative sleeve. 60,000 people in a stadium, and I felt like she was speaking directly to me. She was there. She was absorbing every second, enjoying each moment. She was thinking about the different problems her audience could be facing in life, and what their routines were like. She was aware of the people right below her on the floor seats, and the people on the nose bleed section. She was honest. She was reachable. She was real. In my opinion, that was the best part of the night. 

As my sister put it, it was more than a concert, it was a therapy session. Because of the things she said. Because of her helping us acknowledge that real life was out there waiting for us, but we were going to forget about it for a couple of hours and be in our own little world, shaking it off.

nice to meet you

our names are Thaise (the brunette) and Thamily (the blonde). Yes, i know our names are...unique, to say the least. We were born in Brazil and moved to the US with our family in 2002. 

This weekend we attended the 1989 concert in Boston, our hometown, and have decided to finally join the online fandom of our favorite artist. We have been to her concerts before, and have always wanted to do this, but things got in the way such as, you know, life! :)

Thamily has been married for 7 years now (she married at 21!). We turned her husband into a Swiftie when he was dragged to the Speak Now concert in Boston four years ago. By the end of the night he had been converted, and I think he might like Taylor even more than we do now haha. They have a 2-year-old son, Thomas, who refers to Taylor as Shake it Off - Seriously, that's what he says when you show him a picture of her and ask "Who is that"?  They also have a 3-month-old daughter, Katie. 

We come from a very musical family and have performed in the Christian scene our entire lives. We've recorded jingles, back up vocals, and even our own projects. Thamily has a Bachelor's Degree in Business and owns a business with her husband in Boston. I have a Bachelor's in Music and work in a production company in Maryland as an Audio/Video/Graphic editor. 

Sounds grown up, right? Well, you should have seen us at the concert, we looked (and sounded) like teenagers. Actually, you can see it. Tomorrow morning I will post a video with some highlights of the show we attended this weekend. For now, I will leave you with a cover of Mean that my sister and I recorded with our best friend last year. 

enjoy ;)
