Right I have had a sleep so can possibly offer more coherent thoughts now?!
That show last night was absolutely incredible! I thought I had ruined it for myself watching so many livestreams over the past year but none of it compares to being there in the flesh! Taylor really is an absolute machine, I have no idea how she performs to that level and with that level of energy. I know there’s no such thing as an ethical billionaire but honestly give her every penny at this point
My favourite Era live was Rep. Idk if because in Lisbon it started right as it got dark so the atmosphere changed completely after that! The crowd were SO into it last night. I am obviously biased because I was there but I do think it was one of the better crowds this tour for sure!
I also enjoyed Red and 1989 a lot more IRL than I have done on the recordings/streams. They’re just not my favourite eras but they hit so different live and the big hits really got everyone going.
I never ever thought I would be someone that freaked out at surprise songs but that YOYK/Long Live mashup absolutely floored me, I kept going “I can’t believe she’s done this, is this actually happening”
I actually got emotional quite a few times; when she first appears, the 22 hat, All Too Well, champagne problems all had me in tears and I never expected that.
TTPD era is just phenomenal. 10/10 no notes!!!
Also for those of you who’s show is coming up, some top tips:
If you are standing, wear comfortable shoes. I am SO glad I did and the amount of girls hobbling and literally crying in boots/heels I saw throughout was insane!
Bring tissues - not just to cry but also the toilets very quickly ran out of toilet paper so I’m glad I had some in my bag!
If it’s a hot day, bring a cheap umbrella you can sacrifice before going in, particularly if you’re general admission and the queues are long. Someone gave us an umbrella that had been passed along several people in the queue to give us shade while we waited and it was a lifesaver and we weren’t overheated by the time we got into the stadium.
Anyway, that’s my brain dump for now. I’m gonna go rewatch all the videos I took!
Hope you had the most amazing night too
