Guys, I don’t know where to start other than this is the most incredible experience I have ever had the chance to be a part of…
On Monday 2nd October I was contacted by Taylornation about a secret & exciting event in London. Not going to lie, I freaked out and I haven’t told a single soul until now. There’s so much I’m probably forgetting to add but I wanted to tell you all as soon as possible!
I still can’t believe it but Taylor invited me and a bunch of fantastic people into her home to listen to Reputation for the first time, a whole month early. (!!!!!!)
After loving Taylor for 8 years it finally happened, I never thought it would and the whole evening was the most beautiful blur.
She fed us chicken (which makes every situation better), REP cookies, and so much more, played us the album, shared the most personal stories about each song, chatted to us all individually, took pictures with us and WE GOT MERCH.
I don’t want to say too much about the album and Taylor’s trust is something I will never abuse. What I can say is that this album is one of the best I’ve ever heard. It’s a direction I’ve dreamt the album would go and exceeded every expectation. It’s strong, sassy, sexy, and is LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
Taylor told us so much about trying to get things out internationally and how grateful she was for us being here through the drought and for dealing with her having to go off social media and out of the public eye so well.
One of the biggest things that was clear the entire night was how HAPPY Taylor was, her life is in such a good place and that was one of the best things to see. I will never forget all the stories she told and I’m so grateful I got to hear them.
And after all of that, I got to speak to her and pictures! Firstly, yes, she is even more beautiful in real life. I told her how I loved her hair and she was so kind, we even booped heads and she apologised and I was so fine with it, if anything it made the night better (let’s be real she could have thrown a chair at me and it would have been the best thing). SHE EVEN SAID ME AND MY BOYFRIEND WERE GOALS when I told her that for as long as we’ve been together he’s known how much I love her (7 year!) she was so nice and it was everything I could ever have asked for!!!
I got to speak to Scott, which was insane, he was telling us fan stories and he gave us loads of guitar picks. (EVERYTHING!!!)
Andrea looked beautiful and I saw her singing all the words the whole night. And her entire team were amazing to all of us.
Thank you Taylornation, Andrea and Scott for being so unbelievably kind and hospitable.
Thank you Taylor, from the bottom of my heart, I will carry this night with me for the rest of my life.
I said it my note that Speak Now saved my soul, well Reputation has officially murdered it, I REALLY hope you got the note and the picture I painted for you ok, I will never forget this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💕💕
