Tasmin here - A Swiftie of eleven years now, from, and living in the UK.
(I originally helped the In4merz UK Street Team promote you when you first came to London).
I wanted to post this message in the hope that you might see it someday and to know how thankful I am to you for writing and releasing such creative and incredible music, as well as for being such a wonderful, strong, generous and vibrant personality too.
Although I have been fortunate to see you three times live in concert here in England, I have, sadly, missed seeing you multiple times now…
2010 – Radio 1’s Teen Awards – London’s Hammersmith Apollo: Attended. I missed you leaving.
2011 – Speak Now Tour – London’s O2 Arena: Attended.
2014 – RED Tour - London’s O2 Arena: Attended (I began to get poorly around this time).
2015 – 1989 Tour – London’s Hyde Park: I had not long been out of hospital for a short stay due to a reflux diagnosis. I was meant to review the concert for my blog at the time. Although very disappointed that I wasn’t attending, I arranged for a father and his Swiftie daughter to go instead.
2018 – reputation Tour – London’s Wembley Stadium: The week before the first of two nights at this venue I was admitted into a London hospital (2 hours away from my home) for treatment for an eating disorder. I was then discharged the following year in January. I was gutted to be missing you again.
2020 – Lover Fest – London’s Hyde Park: My dad and I had our tickets for me to FINALLY see you for the first time in over six years, but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be this time either due to the current circumstances going on in the world right now.
Please know how much of a support you have been to me Taylor over these past few challenging years on my journey to reach good health again. I am SO proud of all that you have achieved.
Also, I look forward to the day when I will eventually see you perform live in person again – and maybe if I am lucky enough, meet you too.
Lot’s of love,
your fan, Tasmin ox
