This past Friday night, my sister and I took a trip to the Fargodome to see the notorious Taylor Swift.
It was a remarkable show filled with fireworks, elaborate video setups, plenty of costume changes, and confetti, lots of confetti.
Dorothy would have swooned over Taylor Swift’s glittery red shoes. It's safe to
say she'd go for the sparkling red guitar, too. And the red microphone, the red lipstick, the red dresses and even her violinist's red hair.
“I write lots of songs about my feelings, and I tend to think a lot about emotions,” Swift said into her red-sequined microphone. “These emotions can be so intense they drive people mad. But experiencing them can help turn us into the people we’re supposed to be.”
When she asked the audience what color best described those crazy emotions, it wasn’t difficult to figure out what the answer would be.
“Red!” we all screamed.
Taylor then launched into the album’s title track. A few songs later, she had another message for the crowd.
“I used to think meanness was something that people grew out of,” Swift said as she sat on a bench and periodically strummed her banjo.
“But I found out that’s not true. There’s always going to be somebody picking on you,” Swift said. “The only thing that’s up to us is how we respond to it, and one way to respond is to make a mental note to never treat anyone else the way this person has treated you.”
Nods of admiration and a few teary-eyed looks of recognition made it obvious that what she was said was touched everyone in the audience on a personal level.
The sets during Taylor's concert included Paris, a movie theater premiere in the 1940s, a masquerade ball, a rustic carnival and a Tim Burton-worthy circus.
Overall, the show was phenomenal and I would highly recommend seeing her in concert at least once!
You will be in for one heck of a show!
