Day Forty One : Meeting Taylor Swift

Date : Monday 10th February 2014

Time : Around 18.45(ish) 

Location : o2 Arena, Greenwich

Taylor Swift

The amount I've gone on about Taylor Swift in the last couple of days, you'd be forgiven if you'd have thought I was actually a massive fan of hers. 

I'm not! BUT. I feel that I may have been swayed. 

By hook or by crook (or by a client of Hannah's) we were offered free VIP tickets to see 'Swifty' last night. Amazing. Free food and free drinks in a private box. I could get used to that! And it got better. 

When we picked up the tickets, we were told we had meet & greet passes, and that we had hurry! We were promptly rushed through security, around the back corridors of the o2 with lucky competition winners and friends and family (apparently her parents were there). 

It's an incredibly daunting feeling. A strange one. On one hand I thought I'm about to meet one of the most famous musicians on the planet right now and on the other I thought I'm about to meet a normal, 24 year old girl from America.

I still panicked. When I first saw her the initial thought was 'Wow. She's so tall!' I'm 5"10 and she towered me!

I have to say. For an incredibly famous, wealthy twenty-something, she was incredibly down to earth. Really chatty, friendly - it was really great to meet her! 

The 30 or so seconds we had with her flash by in an instant, then we had our picture taken with her and were whisked away.

It's annoying. I can think of so many things I'd want to say to her now. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I wanted to ask her for a selfie (we weren't allowed our phones in there so that was out), I wanted her to follow me on Twitter, I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend and hook Hannah up with Zac Efron. Then I thought it would be funny to tell her my favourite song of hers was 'My Life Would Suck Without You' (Kelly Clarkson). 

So naturally I just asked her if she was excited for the show! She said she was 'stoked'. So American. 

Of course, the reason we were there was to see the concert, which was supported by The Harry Styles Tribute Band The Vamps. They were pretty good, especially when one of them fell off the stage! That was really funny!

Then, of course, Swifty killed it. Even though I didn't know many of her songs, it was still really enjoyable, I'd see her again hands down.

Unfortunately for me, and anyone reading this, Monday 10th February will almost certainly go down as the coolest thing I'll do in 2014 (quite possibly my life). So really, it only goes downhill from now! I might as well just stop blogging all together!

It's nights like last night that made me want to start this blog, to document what I do. Last night was amazing, definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

I'm bending the rules again today, here are some more pics from last night!

Lesson of the day - PRESERVE BATTERY THROUGHOUT THE DAY IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING EXCITING TO DO IN THE EVENING.
