For Christmas Andy bought me two tickets to the impossibly sold out Taylor Swift concert in Dallas. Now, you may not think this is particularly cool…but I thought this was fantastic!! I love Taylor Swift! I think she’s absolutely adorable and I have no qualms about supporting her!

Now…I’m sure you’re thinking, two tickets? Would Andy actually go with me to a pre-teen infested pop country music concert? The answer is yes, yes he would…but since he already did good by purchasing the tickets, I let him off the hook. So, on a glorious (though slightly chilly) Thursday evening, my friend Brittany and I ventured into the American Airlines Center (which for one night was turned into a little girl heaven) to see Miss Swift perform.

Though I may have suffered permanent  hearing loss due to all the screaming girls, I had a wonderful time! I love that Swift is a fantastic performer without the over choreographed dance routines and elaborate pyrotechnics. She sang, played her instruments, and let the back-up dancers do their thing. If she felt the need to dance, she would simply flail around the stage…an action I can understand all too well. Perhaps that’s why I admire her, she’s a little awkward, wonderfully flail-tastic, cute as all get out, and still able to perform true to her own style.

Was I a little ashamed to be jamming with the pre-teens? I admit, it was definitely a little odd to see hoards of 8 year olds dressed in their fluffy pink tutus with ribbons in their hair and sparkles on their face. But in the end, I wouldn’t have missed this experience in the name of being cool. After all, I wasn’t particularly cool when I actually was a pre-teen, why start now?

Though the screaming crowds were close to unbearable when Taylor Swift's name appears on the screen, the anticipation and excitement was fairly intoxicating! (as was the necessary but ridiculously expensive frozen margarita by my side)

Brittany and me getting ready to rock it, Taylor Swift style!

Yes, we were in the nosebleed section of the arena. But even those were extremely pricey, and the view was still good. This was the best photo of Taylor Swift that I took all night...(and a beautiful shot of the guy in front's arm)
