RED Tour: Toronto

On June 14^th 2013 my mom, my friend and I went down to Toronto so about 15 minutes from where I live, and we checked into a hotel. This was the beginning to a journey that was going to be enchanting. My friend Sofie and I were dressed in our Morph Suits, wrapped in Christmas lights and had signs that were wrapped with lights also. When we got to Toronto we ate quickly and then we went to Rogers Centre. Our section was up in the 500’s because my mom got our tickets for the first night off my cousin but it didn’t matter, we were going to make the best of it anyway. While we were sitting there we held up our signs and turned on all our lights. During one of the opening acts a man started walking toward us I remember freezing up because I thought he was going to tell us to put our signs down. He crouched down beside me and said “Don’t get too excited but grab all of your belongings and meet me outside the doors” I actually started bawling my eyes out and my friend and I grabbed our stuff and ran out the doors where the man was standing in his hands he had two tickets “We are going to be moving you to the floor” was all the he said before I hugged him with tears down my face. When we got to the floor we were in row 22. As we sat down I met a fellow Swiftie and we were talking before the show started. After Ed came on I went to walk around to see if I could find Taylor’s mom. When I turned my head I saw her running towards me and she gave me such a big hug and told me she loved me. I was in tears again and then a crowd of people came and I got pushed out. Right before Taylor came on I looked behind me to see that Andrea Swift was sitting RIGHT BEHIND US! I took many pictures with her, and I also got to talk to her. We talked with each other for about 6 minutes and then she left but right when she came back she gave me another hug and my friend and told me she loved me and she loved our costumes. While Taylor was making her way down the aisle my friend pushed me and basically threw me and I ended up touching Taylor Swift’s leg. I once again, was bawling. I was actually in awe. I was bawling my eyes out and I couldn’t control it. We danced the whole night away and before we knew it, the concert was over. But it wasn’t really over.

The next night!

June 15^th 2013

My best friend and I were so sore from the night before we had bruises all over our body like crazy. We got up around 8:30 AM because my mother thought It would be funny to do so. It wasn’t funny. AT ALL!. So Sofie and I got on our costumes again and changed all the batteries in them. We started walking across the street from the hotel to Rogers Centre. We sat there outside ALL DAY It was really hot out too!. While we sat out there I got to Skype with my best friend Courtney it was really fun!!. When the doors opened we booked it inside. We took our seats section 116 row 4 seats 1 and 2. We were right against the floor this time. I couldn’t stop crying I couldn’t hold myself together. During one of the opening acts some man came around and told us that we need to go to the B Stage around a certain time.

My friend and I got all ready to go. When the time came we ran as fast as we could and all that running paid off because we got right at the front of the stage. I have it all filmed, Sofie was actually the one doing the filming for me. Ed came right up to us and smiled and made eye contact with Sofie. During one of her songs I yelled “I love you Taylor!” and she smiled right at me! I was so just mind blown at what I experienced while I was there and It got even better when Taylor started “Highway Don’t Care” After she left from the B Stage, we were basically allowed on the floor for the rest of the night! So Sofie and I ran and squeezed through people and we were a couple rows away from the main stage!. Also her mom walked by Sofie and I and said she remembered us from the night before and that she still loves us!

I cant even begin to explain how much those nights meant to me. I have to thank my Mom for everything she has done for this concert to happen. Also my friend Sofie. She is a Green Day fan which means she loves punk and stuff, but she also likes Taylor Swift ever since we met because I’m obsessed. The point is that she chose to spend those two nights with me and my weirdness, deal with all my tears and emotions that night and do all that she could to get me into Club Red. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, but I am so glad I got to meet Andrea, and be able to touch Taylor’s leg and also be able to meet amazing Swifties!.
