REPUTATION TOUR KANSAS CITY SEPTEMBER 8, 2018
the new taylor and the old taylor are coming at ya on september eighth in kc, in SECTION 101, ROW 37, SEATS 20-23!
@taylorswift i finally get to make all of my dreams come true and go to one of your concerts with my closest, greatest, best friend in the whole world. without katie, i wouldn’t be as happy as i am today. she came into my life at the perfect time, a time when i was lost and looking for anything to keep me going. and i found her. @pawprintswift. she made me feel good about myself. she cared about me. we shared the same interests. she listened to me and made me feel loved, and that was the first time i had ever found someone who was willing to be that close to me, that didn’t call me weird or make fun of me. that was four years ago, and she has been my guiding light ever since. no matter how bad my days have gotten, she has always been one phone call away. when the rest of my life falls apart, she is there, and that is the most valuable thing to me in my entire life.
and i wouldn’t have her without you.
four years ago, katie and i (as well as maia and lauren, the other half to our four-person group of my dearest friends in the whole world) both ran instagram fanpages. this was how we met. without our shared love of you, we would never have known each other. we live thousands of miles apart – i’m from a big city in the midwest, and katie lives in a small town in south florida. our lives couldn’t be more different. but because of you, i met my dearest friend in the whole world. having someone like her is the most important thing to me. i cannot explain to you how much it means to be lucky enough to have her in my life.
in the past three years since i saw you on tour, so much has happened. i moved away from the house i grew up in, from the place i thought home would always be (although i found my real home instead). my dog and brother were attacked by a pit bull, and my dog nearly died. i got mono and was in bed for months. my first day back from mono, and i broke my pointer finger on my dominant hand, so i lost the ability to write. i got a soccer ball to the eye a few months later and had a corneal abrasion so bad i could only see out of one eye for a few weeks. my mom broke multiple ribs a year later, and spent the majority of my junior year being rushed in and out of the hospital, all while my dad never gave a damn. i did all our household chores while he went to sleep, on top of my homework and trying to visit my mom. then, my dad lost his job, and we didn’t turn on the air conditioning or lights in our house for three months.
but so much else has happened. so many good things. katie, maia, and lauren were there for all of the bad moments, and they always made it okay. they always responded to my texts, and always answered my calls. when my mom was recovering, reputation came out. i had something to enjoy! while everything else in my life fell apart, there were still good things to have. i was getting minimal sleep at night, but i got to wake up and listen to reputation on the way to school, and talk to them whenever i had a free minute. that kept me going.
and now, a lifelong dream of ours is coming true. we get to see you in concert, together, on september eighth. the feeling of dancing along to my favorite songs, in costumes we spent hours making, with my best friend… that will mean so much to me. to see you, together, to dance and to sing and be so absolutely happy, that will be the best feeling in the world.
thank you so much for giving me all the joy i have in my life. you have given me my best friends, and the happiest days of my life. i cannot explain it well enough how much you have changed my life, taylor. but i will be forever grateful that there is so much to look forward to and enjoy.
