Thank you Taylor. See you in Brazil.
I’m am so overcome with emotion I am shaking.
Anyone who knows me can tell you how much I have loved and admired Taylor Alison Swift for the past 10+ years - how each album and each tour has helped shape who I am today. Being 4 years younger than Taylor, I have always looked up to her like a big sister, going through each song finding advice and wisdom and confidence.
I have been lucky enough to attend every Taylor Swift tour, first with my mom (who speaks no english, and put up with my show day jitters and hours of screaming lyrics at the top of my lungs) and eventually with my best friend (we danced around when we were 22 at the 1989 Tour and Taylor sang ‘Fifteen’ as the surprise song and we cried like babies).
I attended all 5 tours in the wonderful city of Miami, Florida - the closest Taylor has ever gotten to my hometown of Manaus, Brazil. It all started with the Fearless Tour and gathering every bit of pocket money and saving up Christmas and birthday presents from my parents and family for the plane and concert tickets. Rep Tour marked the first time that I, as an adult with a job (lol), kept the tradition alive and gave myself the only thing I ever wished for as I blew out candles: the chance to see Taylor Swift perform. About an hour ago the news broke that Taylor Swift will be performing in São Paulo, Brazil on July 18th, 2020 and I’m now typing this with tears in my eyes so I’m sorry if there are typos.
Taylor Swift is coming to Brazil.
I am so thankful.
To Taylor: Thank you for hearing us. Thank you for seeing us. You are so loved. We would go ANYWHERE for you but e can’t wait to show you how LOUD we are. Allianz Parque isn’t READY.
To the fandom here in Brazil: we have moved mountains to go see our girl and she is coming to us. SHE IS COMING TO US! I love you, see you all so soon! AT HOME!
To my best friend: I walked into the 6th grade and sat down next to the new girl. We have been through middle school, high school, gap years, undergrad, law school and now just life (can you even believe we’re lawyers, how did that happen). I’ve had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.
