Our Taylor Swift Concert Experience



Our Taylor Swift Concert Experience 
On the 11th of December 2013 we went to a Taylor Swift concert for the Red Tour. We decided to get abit creative and wear matching red skirts and home-made Red Tour t-shirts. To finish it off we created light-up giant letters which read out S-T-A-Y (one of Taylor’s songs on the album) and then the shape of Australia.

Our sign S-T-A-Y Australia. White Lights from Kmart ($5) Red Lights from Kmart ($2) Fudge Urban red hair chalk from Priceline ($8)

Back view of our home made t-shirts. Black Shirt from Kmart ($3), Red Skirts from City Beach Surf Shop ($19) Taylor Swift Keds from Novo (approx $70).


As everyone began to fill the stadium, we captured the attention of many people and some even stopped to take photos.
During the opening act as we all were dancing around to Guy Sebastian, an American security guy approached us saying, “Is it just a group of five?” Initially, we thought we were going to be told to sit down because we had been standing the whole night dancing. However, he actually told us to turn around because Taylor’s mum wanted to speak to us. We all turned in synchronisation and hiding behind a pillar was Andrea Swift (Mumma Swift) who waved at us to come to her. We packed up our belongings and in a rush of excitement followed the security guard up the steps to where she was standing.

Our wristbands for the right-hand pit.

She gave us all a hug and said, “Hey girls would you like to be front row with me?”  We were all shocked that this was happening and accepted straight away. We were then given wristbands to go into the right-hand pit. As she was leaving she whispered to us to come to the second stage during the song ‘MEAN’  to watch Taylor perform in a special VIP section with her.

We experienced the concert with such an amazing view at all possible stages. It was all a bit of a dream and a truly magical experience.

Welcome.

We decided to create this blog to keep us occupied over the summer holidays. To get this blog started take a peek into our world as Reb-Elle...
1. Our friendship sparked at a chance encounter at McDonalds when we were six years old.
2. Learning the acoustic guitar has become our most recent hobby.
3. We admit to being perfectionists in almost everything we do.
4. Seaweed is not our friend.
5. We have well and truly caught the travel bug.
6. Pink (enough said).
7. We love pop music and wish fangirling was a career.
8. We both agree everything is so much cuter when bows are involved.
9. Our hidden talent is poster making.
10.We often live off bread rolls, strawberry muesli bars, pequeno burgers from Nando's, blocks of chocolate and cucumber.
