Hello buddies! How are you?? I hope you’re having a stunning morning to date. I’m again right here in Tucson with a still-froggy voice from 3 hours of screaming on the Taylor Swift live performance. I’d love to listen to what you’ve been as much as! I figured for at present’s weblog publish, I’d throw it again to the weblog days of yore and share a recap from the weekend. It was filled with enjoyable adventures and whereas I want a weekend to get better from the weekend, it was an excellent one.
We left for the Taylor Swift live performance Friday afternoon and after a number of delays and loopy visitors, we made it! We missed Gayle, however acquired to listen to Paramore sing a number of the songs we’ve liked through the years. (“Distress Enterprise” and “Ain’t It Enjoyable” had been SO GOOD.) I’m all the time to see how artists sound in particular person, and Hayley Williams sounded even higher reside. She crushed it and had tremendous excessive vitality.
Earlier than we knew it, it was time for the principle occasion, and it was mind-blowing to listen to the echo of virtually 70k folks screaming and cheering.
I’m not even the hugest Taylor Fan – I like a whole lot of her songs and assume she’s tremendous proficient, however not in my private high 10 – however the live performance was AMAZING. Liv is a hardcore Swiftie and knew all the songs. P danced and clapped, and fell asleep across the 2-hour mark. The Pilot was sport and I believe he loved it, too.
I had no clue what to anticipate with this live performance however was blown away by what number of songs she carried out (44?!), the costumes, the dancers, the particular results/units/lighting, and the way nice she sounded.
Additionally, I’ve this bizarre factor the place I really feel extraordinarily pleased with folks I don’t know after they carry out. I get choked up on the finish of each Broadway present and live performance as a result of I respect the trouble and coaching to create a manufacturing. I felt the identical means with this one and undoubtedly felt a bit teary when she carried out “Tim McGraw.” Like LOOK HOW FAR YOU’VE COME. So proud for a complete stranger haha.
Considered one of my favourite issues in regards to the live performance was the LED bracelets we obtained after we checked in. They modified colours for every track and matched the beats of the music. Additionally, completely different parts of the viewers could be illuminated at completely different instances. I’ve by no means seen this impact reside earlier than and it was wiiiiiild.
We had been initially planning to remain the night time in Phoenix, however in the long run, I’m glad we didn’t as a result of the closest accommodations with availability had been over 45 minuets away (and like 5x the price they often are as a result of it was Taylor Swift weekend). The Pilot drove us dwelling whereas the women and I snoozed, we had been again by 3am, after which Liv and I had been up vibrant and early for her dance costume rehearsal. WHEW.
She practiced her dances, after which we drove as much as Mount Lemmon for a bit buddy sleepover social gathering within the snow! We stayed at a cute cabin with attractive views,
and after we checked in and acquired settled, we took the crew sledding. We didn’t know if there could be snow on Mt. Lemmon as a result of it’s been so heat in Tucson recently, however there was nonetheless fairly a bit and the right quantity for sledding.
The children lived their greatest lives, and we stayed out till everybody was chilly and muddy.
(Sure, Mustache March is right here)
We headed again to the cabin so the youngsters may defrost and chill, and we acquired dinner collectively. My buddy Diana and I tag-teamed it and every little thing was wonderful!
We had cheesy enchiladas (I made a few trays and froze them earlier than the journey), the perfect scalloped potatoes, steak tacos, salad, margaritas, chips, and salsa. For dessert, they introduced one of many famous Costo chocolate peanut butter pies – it lives as much as the hype!! – and the youngsters roasted s’mores.
An enormous deal with: whereas the youngsters had been enjoying downstairs after dinner, the adults drank wine and loved a film. We watched Glass Onion (undoubtedly test it out in the event you haven’t seen it), and it’s been a really, very very long time since I’ve watched a whole film whereas the youngsters had been nonetheless awake.
The following morning, we had avocado toast, eggs, and bacon earlier than packing up, making a cease on the Cookie Cabin,
and the short journey again to Tucson. After we acquired into city, we drove straight to a birthday pool social gathering.
Oh Tucson. The place you may see snow and play within the pool in the identical day. 😉
We’re again dwelling and again within the swing of life, despite the fact that there’s a whole lot of journey arising. It’s a season the place we’ll be residing out of a whole lot of suitcases, however dance competitors season is my favourite season.
What did you do that weekend? Any buddies on the market who noticed Taylor Swift or are going to her live performance? I looooved seeing all the wonderful live performance outfits! A lot fringe and sequins; it was fabulous.
