The Wolfe Journal: Taylor Swift!!

Olivia and I went to see Taylor Swift last Thursday night here in Bossier City at the Centurytel Arena, which is an awesome venue! This is Taylor's very first tour (The Fearless Tour), and Gloriana and Kelli Pickler opened for her! Every single show of this tour sold out in less than 12 minutes after they went on sale!! I got online about 10 minutes after they went on sale and couldn't find any floor seats, so I went hunting on eBay. We ended up with amazing seats - upfront and center!!

Olivia had the biggest, goofiest grin plastered across her face pretty much the whole time! It only took her a few beats of each song to "name that tune" (sometimes she called it before the song even started!), and she knew every word of every song by heart! We got her a t-shirt, and we ate pizza and nachos for dinner. We were SO close to the stage and even snuck up a little closer for a minute or two toward the end (we were quickly shoo-ed back to our seats along with the rest of the crowd that had encroached).

At one point, Taylor appeared up in the stands, right in the middle of the fans and did a song or two before descending to a small floor stage. From there, she walked toward the main stage coming down the aisle right next to our section!! Olivia got close enough to touch her, but refrained while I tried to get it on video the best I could!

Taylor puts on an amazing show (Kenny and I saw her here almost exactly a year ago)! The last number was so cool; a sheet of rain fell on the stage and, toward the end of the song, she walked right into it and got soaked as she wailed!! It was fantastic!
