My First Concert Ever Recap

Thursday night, I went to my first concert. And it was AWESOME!!!!

Back in February, I got an e-mail notification announcing Taylor Swift's concert dates. She was coming to the Valley. I was thrilled. Tickets went on sale at the end of the month. I went online and looked, I couldn't afford it at the time. So, I didn't buy any tickets. I was disappointed that one of my favorite artists of all time was going to be so close and I wouldn't get to see her. It would be just like the a couple of years ago when she was opening for Rascal Flatts.

Then on Tuesday, as I was heading into work, the radio announced the most amazing thing for me. Jobing.com arena was releasing more tickets for Taylor Swift's concert that night at 5:00. At 4:30, my laptop was on the website and ready to purchase 2 tickets. I had nobody to go with me, but I would find someone.

I bought my tickets at 5. At 5:07, I realized that Colin was graduating the same night as the concert. I couldn't return the tickets. I felt awful. Colin gave me grief about it, but we later learned that he could only get 2 tickets for graduation anyway, so it all worked out.

I texted Melissa a little after I bought the tickets/realized about graduation. She replied that she would love to go. Yay!

Now, I just had to wait until Thursday, drive to Glendale, and see the concert.

It was so much fun. It was sprinkling when we got the arena, so we had to walk a little ways in the drizzle. We got to our seats and found out that they were pretty dang good.

We had missed one of the opening acts, Gloriana, and a couple of Kellie Pickler's songs. But we heard a lot of good songs from Kellie before the break, when they were setting up for Taylor.

Taylor came on and the concert was amazing. They had an amazing set, videos, and costumes. The songs were great, the crowd was crazy. At one point, I had to sit back in my seat because the vibrations from the speakers/bass was so intense.

Needless to say, next time Taylor comes to AZ, I am buying my tickets the first chance I get!

Thanks Melissa for driving and going with me. I had the best time!
