Taylor Swift concert – July 11th, 2015

Now this, definitely has been one of the best days of my life. I first bought the tickets at the beginning of November, my Mom and Grandma had gotten me B-Stage floor seats and I was ecstatic. It was my third time seeing Taylor but the first time having floor seats. Flash forward to the day of the concert at Metlife Stadium, second night of the 1989 World Tour at Metlife. Blazing hot summer day and my Mom and I arrive at the stadium around 2pm. We pick up our tickets at the box office. My Mom hates me for leaving this early to a concert but I was just happy to be there.

There was a line that had already formed at the side of the stadium and my Mom bought us a 1989 album blanket for us to sit on on the sidewalk. While waiting for the concert, we can hear Taylor sound checking Welcome To New York blasting really loud. It was incredible. Around 5, 6 o’clock is when they finally let us into the stadium. There was a line up of tables with a bunch of wristbands for all of the B-Stage ticket holders. We get our blue b-stage wristbands and my Mom let’s me run into the stadium so I get a good spot at the b-stage. They let us in first before most people because we had VIP.

I got a spot right side at the corner of the b-stage. It was incredible. This concert was also the first time I got to see Shawn Mendes, who was absolutely mind blowing. He is so talented and an amazing songwriter. During Haim’s set, we saw some stars in a special section that was right behind the b-stage area. There were a lot of models and TV stars that were at Taylor’s concert. I also spotter her brother, Austin and her Dad, Scott. I had always wanted to meet Taylor’s Mom and Dad but i didn’t see Andrea there so I managed to grab a selfie with Scott and it was probably the worst picture ever since I took it and it was over a barricade.

Vance Joy was amazing as well and he got the whole stadium to light up with people’s cell phone lights. It was so pretty. When Taylor came on, I literally lost my mind. She was so beautiful up close and in person and belted her heart out. Everyone in the audience had wristbands that lighted up to the beat of the every song that was played throughout the concert. It was also beautiful when you can hear the whole crowd singing the lyrics to the surprise song she gave us which was You Belong With Me (I’ve seen that song and Love Story live three times. I will never not love those songs.)

And then it was surprise guest time… and Taylor brought out… NICK JONAS. When she said “And he is from New Jersey…” I started freaking out I’ve always wanted to see the Jonas Brothers live (but never got too) and Nick was always my favorite Jonas Brother. When he first came out, I was literally sobbing and my Mom asked me if I was okay and I replied with “NO!”

During Style, Taylor brought out even more special guests such as Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner, Hailee Steinfeild, Uzo Aduba and many more that I can’t seem to remember at the moment. They all walked down the run way during Style. Her outfit changes were incredible and earlier in the concert when she sang Blank Space and did an echo with the crowd as she sang “Boys only want love if it’s torture… Jersey!” It sent chills down my spine. I know the 1989 tour is over, but if you ever have the chance to see Taylor, take it. She puts on the best performances and makes it seem like one big broadway play almost. I love her so much and hope to meet her someday ❤
