finally the main event! Quick side story – we went to the Spaghetti Factory before the show – who doesn’t love the Spaghetti Factory? So we get there and it’s PACKED – lots of moms and teeny bopper daughters. Being the geniuses that we are, we check the bar – EMPTY! Perfect…..but we started a trend and pretty soon the place was packed…with KIDS! Apparently, as long as they don’t sit at the actual bar, they are allowed in the bar. Ugh…really detracts from the atmosphere when there are screaming kids and parents all around. But it was fine. We got our French bread, mizithra cheese pasta and ice cream. We were happy.

The fans going crazy….note to self…my music taste is somewhere in line with 12-14 year old girls. Oops.
She opened with You Belong With Me, dressed in her band outfit. I have a special place in my heart for band nerds.
She had an awesome stage made of video screens. The screens changed for every song and looked pretty darn cool.
And this is why I love Taylor Swift. Mid way through the show they pause and put up a silly video of Taylor and how she writes songs about guys and includes their names. Then, she appears 1 section over from us, singing in the crowd. A security NIGHTMARE, but absolutely awesome! She continues to sing through the crowd, hugging everyone in sight and then ends up on a stage almost directly in front of us.
She then continues singing on this stage (those suckers with “front row tickets” were probably pissed). Then she went back up to the real stage – all while hugging everyone she passed by.
For her encore, she came out wearing a San Jose Sharks jersey with her name on it.
Look closely. Do you see the word “NO”? It’s actually a curtain of water and the words flow through the water. It was pretty cool.
Probably one of the best concerts I’ve seen. Even if she went way too far with the head banging/hair flipping drama. And I know there was some internet chatter a while back about how she’s not all that great live. But she sounded great to us!
oh em gee how psyched are you
