Tonight we went to the Taylor Swift concert. I like a few of her songs- (please don't eviscerate me, they are bouncy and fun to sing) and my daughter and her friend love her.
Once the concert started I noticed a boy one seat away from me. He swayed back and forth with his hands clasped to his chest while singing every word to every song. I was highly amused and spent the first part of the concert watching him because he was more entertaining than Taylor.
At one point she appeared at the top of the aisle where we were sitting, sang a song then made her way down the stairs, greeting fans and signing autographs. He was on that side of the aisle and was almost hysterical by the time she got to our row. She hugged Sam-the-crazed-fan, gave him her bracelet as a gift and left me wondering if I would need to resuscitate him. He grasped that bracelet, held it high in the air and jumped up and down while emitted several sounds I've never heard before. I ended up giving him a promotional lanyard I'd gotten before the concert and buying him an autographed CD just to see how hyped up I could get the kid.
At one point in everyone's life they should have a passion as deep and strong as Sam's. It isn't an exaggeration to say he is her biggest fan. He knew every word to every song and which song she was going to sing before it started. His cousin was sitting next to me and she told me it was his first concert, that he was 15, had made his own Taylor Swift t-shirt and was a huge fan--- really, I hadn't noticed.
I love the music of taylor swift, it is simply beautiful
