We assumed that we would be totally late and miss the entire meet and greet so we started running. When we inevitably got stuck in traffic on the way to the show we leaped out of the car with t-shirts thrown over our heads to protect our hair from the downpour of rain. īefore the show we spent a lot of time practicing our song and making sure it would be perfect. We decided to serenade her with her song “Welcome to New York”, but change the lyrics to say “Welcome to Detroit”. After thinking of enough plans to fill a notebook and endless screams of the phrase “YES WE NEED TO DO THAT” we came up with one idea that stood out among the rest. When my best friend and I heard that we would be meeting one of our idols and role models we decided that we needed to do something special, and original. Imagine meeting Taylor Swift before her concert in a locker-room-turned-New-York-Loft setting. There is one more “imagine that” that I must add.
This is how I spent my Saturday night with my best friend. Now imagine standing in the pit next to the stage and dancing along with Taylor and screaming every lyric at the top of your lungs. A place where Taylor becomes the most epic performer, singer, and even motivational speaker. Imagine having the amazing opportunity to go to a Taylor Swift concert at Ford Field in Detroit-a magical land where perfect melodies and harmonies grace your ears and countless sparkly costume clad dancers run across the enormous stage.
