We waited until the week before to finally tell her about the concert and she was SO excited. Every day she would ask "How many days until I see Taylor Swift?" (see why it was a good move to wait so long to tell her?!) The day of, she told everyone that she saw about the concert. I was a little bit fearful that she would be let down.
Our tickets, which were the only ones we could snatch up before the show was quickly sold out, were 3rd level & much closer to the ceiling than Taylor. The opening act (NeedtoBreathe) was a little bit of torture for Addie. She liked the music, but couldn't understand what was taking Taylor Swift so long to come out...didn't she know that Addie was waiting?! Also, it had been over 2 hrs since dinner time. You would've thought we starved the child, as she was "SOOOO hungry!"
Finally, she appeared. Addie was in Heaven. She LOVED it. Sang along heartily and enjoyed looking through mommy's binocular to see Taylor Swift (Addie always uses her first and last name) up close.
I gotta say, Taylor puts on a good show-lots of props, dancers/actors, set & costume changes. Definitely keeps it interesting & visually appealing. Despite all the theatrics and loud music, by 9:30, Addie was falling asleep and saying how she wished she was in her bed. We had Mason at home with a sitter, so it was time for us to go. She made it about 2/3rds of the way thru the show.
The next day, Addie commented that she saw Taylor Swift for real, but that she though Taylor Swift would have said her name...sorry kid, mommy & daddy can't make that one happen!
