TAYLOR SWIFT - what a concert!!

For one of my Christmas gifts from my loving husband, I received Taylor Swift tickets to see her peform tonight at the Xcel in St. Paul. Jerad was such a sport and was my date for the night. I don't think we have ever seen so many little girls, tweens and teens in one spot before. Not to mention the random tween and teen boys that were there also - Jerad said that it was the smartest way to pick up chicks. :-) The opening acts were Gloriana and Kelly Pickler which were really good and then when Taylor came out - watch out....I needed ear plugs. That girl knows how to work the crowd of young girls. I have never heard a crowd so loud in my life. There were moments when I had to plug my ears and wished that I had ear plugs for little Zeus as he is at the stage of hearing things these days.
She had some amazing performers in her show that helped tell the story of her songs. It made me wonder what would have happened if I would have just stayed with dance when I was a little girl. Too bad I quit at the ripe old age of 6. I guess I figured it wasn't my dream.
Here she came out to the middle of the audience halfway through the show to do a song and then on the way back to the stage, she greeted and/or hugged about 500 fans. She even gave out little bracelets from her wrist to some of the younger girls. It was pretty neat to see. Oh and I have to mention that some of those teen boys in the audience got kisses on the cheek from her and seeing their reaction was hilarious. It looked like they screamed like little girls.
