Taylor Swift, a.k.a. Laura’s First Concert


When all of the chaos went down surrounding the acquisition of tickets to Taylor Swift, I chose to stay far away from the fray. I remain very disenchanted with the cost of tickets to big concerts, and it felt like a whole lot of money to spend on something for Laura. It seemed an impossible task anyway.


About 10 days prior to her final Atlanta show, Luis reached out to Tim with 2 extra tickets, offering them to us before anyone else. We knew Laura wanted to go, and there was definitely a lot of hype that had us curious. The prospect of going with Deanna and her girls was enough to sway me, although I was admittedly uncertain about dealing with the crowds, the parking, etc.


It. Was. So. Worth. It. Not just because of Laura’s absolute rapture when she found out we were going. The show was truly epic, and lived up to every bit of hype.


Turns out we had some pretty sweet seats that included a VIP, all-inclusive food and drink area. But I think what I will most remember is the joy of experiencing the performance with Laura, who sang her heart out. The light-up wrist bands, the packed house, the wildly enthusiastic crowd…As Taylor would say, this night was flawless.
