9 days until #RepTourChicago & I have zero chill. My #RepTourJacket is finally finished! 6 #snakes 14 patches 15 hand painted images 10,754 added crystals, sequins and seed beads

I have been asked by friends who have seen this progress how many hours it took but I have honestly lost count. I can’t wait to rock this in #Chicago at #SoldierField If you see me come say hello, get a free #bracelet and a hug! I am also handing out hearts for @reputationproject!

It would be amazing to be able to show @taylorswift this labor of love. She has been an inspiration to me for many many years. I remember first hearing Tim McGraw and knowing she was a special gift to the music world. It has been an honor to see her grow into the kind, talented, giving woman we all know today. If I was ever lucky enough to get #RepRoom I would love to thank her for all her music has brought to my life. Friendship, pain relief, happiness & most of all love. When I was a kid I had a lot of surgeries because of my #EhlersDanlosSyndrome and I couldn’t play at recess. I just had to sit on the side. Some kids threw rocks at me. Many years later when I heard “People throw rocks at things that shine” I started crying. Thanks for this lyric Taylor and helping me to believe I #SHINE. I aim to get a SHINE tattoo but have been holding off as I would love to get it in Taylor’s handwriting. Being able to meet Taylor with my friends @bammdds & @laineyc94 would be a moment we would never forget. I am also determined to get #UkeforTaylorFanProject and #Taylorpaintedusgolden fan project to Taylor! @taylornation Chicago night #2 Section 104 Row 5 Seats 13-15

Update: I wasn't able to get it to her in Chicago. Hoping to get the uke to Taylor in Indianapolis. Sec B Row 10 Seats 9&10

Here is a little preview of my new shirt for Saturday Rep Tour Indy! I am so excited I finally finished my shirt. I only started it Monday and was worried I wouldn't finish it in time!

I will do a proper post with the full shirt tomorrow but wanted to share this tonight.

So excited for my last Reputation Tour gig. It is quite bittersweet. So hyped and blessed to see it again but I am going to cry when it ends. It is also my 1st gig as a 40 year old (my bday was the 12th) and I can't think of a better way to celebrate being 40 and fabulous!

I am going to do my best to get the fan project uke to Miss @taylorswift Hoping maybe I could even pass it along to someone from @taylornation

I just really want Taylor to see why her fans love her so much. She sees so much false press it will be nice to see words that are all motivated from LOVE. You can learn more about the project via #ukefortaylorfanproject

Find me in Section B Row 10! I will also be wearing my Rep TOUR Jacket so I will be easy to find! Just look for the girl with the rainbow dress Taylor painted on the back of her jean jacket.

Please come up for a hug and to say hi if you see me!!! It always bums me out when fellow fans say they see me at gigs but don't say hello. Besides our American Queen the human connection is my favorite part of going to gigs. Gigs are my happy place. Normally when I leave the house it is for doctors appointments, surgeries or same day surgical procedures. Concerts are one of the only times I leave the house for pure fun! Not saying this for pity. I am happy and blessed to be as handicapable as I am. Just explaining how much I appreciate going to concerts and meeting with friends. Also, fair warning...I am a hugger but I understand some people don't like being hugged. SO don't feel bad if you simply don't want to be hugged. I would rather you tell me than not & be uncomfortable.

I have had some say they were afraid to really hug me because they didnt want to hurt me. Please don't hold back! I love bear hugs! You won't break me and I promise I will speak up if it's too hard.

I can't wait to meet you!

Big reputation big reputation ohhh you and me we got a big reputation. IF you want to take a photo on the throne expect to budget about an hour. Also when you do take photos please be mindful of the people behind you. A group way ahead in the line spent nearly 25 minutes taking photos. Glad I already got my throne photo so I don't have to do it in Indy. Hyped for Reputation Tour Indianapolis in 100 days! Section B Row 10 Seats 9-10 with @bammdds Since I know the time will fly by....see you soon @taylorswift @taylornation

[taylorslittlebird]

Could she be any cuter? "It's the wrong key. I've done it again." Can't believe @bammdds and I are so lucky to be able to see @taylorswift again in Indianapolis from Sec B Row 10 Seats 9-10! 100 days! Already wondering what the Taylor's Choice song will be....what would your dream song be? Mine would have to be #ours The lyric "People throw rocks at things that shine." means more to me than I could ever express in mere words.

[taylorslittlebird]

Today's the day! Can't wait to sing and dance with @taylorswift!!!! Come find me and say hello! I am going with @bammdds & @theiateam I've posted photos of what I am wearing so you can find me. Can't wait to meet a bunch of swifties. Also Taylor we would be enchanted to meet you too. @taylornation

I will share full photos of the #UkeForTaylorFanProject very soon but I wanted to share this bit first. I kept this as a surprise but I put the usernames of everyone who submitted a word of love for @taylorswift on the back of the #ukulele Fingers crossed I am able to pass this along to someone from @taylornation in Chicago at #RepTourChicago night #2 Full photos and the reason behind this project coming very soon!

There is a lot of false reporting on @taylorswift The media loves to attempt to bring down anyone who is famous. To me, Taylor's album #Reputation represents excusing what others say about you. You know YOUR truth. There will be no explanation, only Reputation. I still wanted Taylor to see some print she would absolutely love. I asked fans to submit 1 word each of why they love Taylor and her music via UkeForTaylorFanProject I took the words and covered this entire handmade uke with them. The words are all added onto a wooden ukulele. I made the uke from a kit of the bare bones parts. I am hoping to get this to someone from TN along with my other fan project TaylorPaintedUsGolden at my show RepTourChicago night #2. I just want Taylor to see why she is adored by Swifties. I was truly moved by the words of love. Feel free to zoom in to read them. Swipe for more photos of the uke. Massive thanks to every fan who participated in this project. You made this project a success. My account here is tiny so please tag @taylornation so maybe they will see and hopefully send out someone from TN so I can hand it to them before my gig so they can give it to Taylor?
