“Music connects people.” This quote is known by almost everyone. And I am here to prove you how true it really is. So let me introduce you to my squad:

SUSAN ( @suzswift ): yeah that’s me. I’ve been a hardcore Swiftie since the RED era and till then I would have never thought I could find myself in a song. And guess what? I am going to see Taylor for the first time ever on Sat 23 June, London. Section BK C4, row V, seats 15-16!

NAT ( @lookwhatyoumadenatdo ): Nat rocks every single hair colour, Taylor inspired her to start playing the guitar and she also sings! Her show is in Fri 22 June, London. Section 125, row 6 seats 80-81.

JOANA ( @tilljoealwyncomesalong ): She’s our sweet lovely girl from Portugal. And she’s more than just excited to see Taylor on Fri 22 June, London, section C2, row E.

KIRSTY ( @kirstyf1x ): Kirsty is such a smol bean honestly. Her show is on Sat 9 June, Manchester. Section BK 317, row R, seat 468.

DELANEY ( @aredreputation ): She’s been a Swiftie since she was 11 and basically grew up with Taylor. Like many of us, she has never met Taylor, so maybe that can change on one of her shows on Tue 14 August, Tampa, section 114 row, seats 5 + 6 or on Wed 18 August, Miami, section 332, row 27, seats 23-24.

RILEY ( @vividsswift ): She is beautiful, sings gorgeously and her smile is so contagious. I wish I could give her a proper hug right now.

Hi Taylor! Let me introduce myself. My name is Jerica and I need to tell a little bit about my sweet friend Rylee. (Aka @speaknowin1989 )Rylee and I have been friends for 7 or 8 years now. We’re both from Alexandria, Louisiana, but because of life, we now live in opposite ends of the state from each other. I’m a realtor and I live in Baton Rouge. Rylee is in college and she lives in Monroe, Louisiana! Rylee and I share this bond that no one else seems to understand, and that’s because we both have a mutual love for you, Taylor! We went to the 1989 World Tour together in Bossier City, Louisiana and it was the BEST NIGHT of our entire LIVES! Rylee is the sister I never had, and you’re like the big sister WE never had! You’ve helped the both of us throughout the years through your music and the advice you’re so gracious to give us!  We’re going to the Reputation World tour together in New Orleans! I rarely ever get to see her, so reuniting over a weekend to go to the Reputation tour is like a dream come true for us!!!! The only thing that would make our night better would be getting to hang out with you! Our third soul sister!!!! We’ll be rocking out all night in Section A, Row 14, seats 8-9! Honestly, you’ll probably see us from the stage. We can promise, we’ll be the most excited people in the superdome!

Saturday September 22, 2018 Mercedes Benz Superdome, New Orleans Section A Row 14 Seats 8-9

Hi, everyone. My name is Jerica and I’ve loved Taylor Alison Swift more than life itself since I was in the 4th grade. My love for Taylor was so intense, even back then, that when I was in the 5th grade, my parents got me a glittery Daisy Rock guitar for Christmas. Now, I never learned to play the guitar, but trust me, at the time, I was a ROCK STAR. I was also Taylor Swift with my cool ass glittery guitar, just like hers from the Our Song music video. Fast forward to the next year, it’s May 29, 2010. I got to see Taylor live for the first time EVER at the first Bayou Country Superfest in Tiger Stadium. (Geaux LSU Tigers!!!!!) She was the headliner with her Fearless tour, and it was the best night of my tiny little life. I was in the 8th grade when Speak Now came out. I’ll never forget all of my friends and I getting the album for Christmas that year. I’ll never forget not being able to make it to the Speak Now tour (Rip… oh my god it’s literally one of my biggest regrets in LIFE) I’ll never forget laying on my bathroom floor, crying to Last Kiss because the guy I liked in jr high broke up with me. I’ll never forget Better Than Revenge being my anthem because my “best friend” stole my boyfriend. I had honestly thought that it was IMPOSSIBLE for Taylor to make an album better than Speak Now…. but then RED HAPPENED. I remember her Red announcement like it was yesterday. My best friend and I were sitting on the couch in my living room. Taylor was doing a live stream on Yahoo! Taylor performed WANGBT for the first time. I was SOBBING because my girl was BACK. When Red came out, once again my life was changed. Taylor once again had captured the way I had been feeling in this perfect album (which deserves a FUCKING GRAMMY) That Christmas, I got tickets to see Taylor on the Red Tour in Arlington, Texas. The concert was on May 25, 2013 and the most incredible moment of my life happened that night. After Taylor had gone to the B stage to perform, she walked through the audience as she sang Sparks Fly (which is one of my all time favorite songs!!!!!) and my seats were on the floor. Taylor walked right by me, grabbed my hand, and sang to me. It was such a short moment, but it meant the entire world to me. I got it on video because I knew it she touched me, first of all, no one would believe me. And of course, I wanted to keep that memory alive forever. The second I had processed what had actually just happened, I dropped to my knees and I was SOBBING. I had just touched the woman I’ve always thought of as my big sister. See, I come from a family full of addicts and I do have sisters, but they’re bad off and I’ve always had this issue in my life with needing a good female role model to look up to and to take on that big sister role, and for me, that was Taylor. She gave advice through her songs, through her interviews talking about relationships and life in general; Taylor was that big sister figure I had been yearning for for so long. I’ve never looked up to anyone as much as I do Taylor. She’s so graceful and selfless and she’s meant the world to me since I was just a little girl that was growing up and also having to face this cruel world. I saw her again at the 1989 tour on the opening night in Bossier City, Louisiana. She waved at me and my best friend Rylee. We met Andrea. It was one of the best nights of my life. Let me tell you, Taylor. The reputation era is the most admirable of all. Being publicly shamed, taking that and taking control of your own narrative, and rising gracefully from the ashes… you’re like a Phoenix, T.

Rylee and I are going to the Reputation Tour in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 22. There’s nothing in this world we want more than to give you the biggest thank you hugs, Taylor! We’ll be in Section A, Row 14, seats 8-9.
