Taylor Swift Concert

For my nieces Rylee and Holly their moms got them tickets to see Taylor Swift.  Tracy also invited me to go and I'm so glad she did.  Taylor Swift puts on the most amazing concert I've ever been too.  Plus she had one of my most favorite bands NEEDTOBREATHE opening for her. 
I rode of with Carrie and Holly and we met Tracy and Rylee at the hotel.  We then walked over to the mall and got us something to eat and headed over to the Energy Solutions Arena for the concert.  Tracy went with me to get a NEEDTOBREATHE T-shirt but the line was forever long.  I was hoping that the T-shirts would be split away from Taylor Swifts but they weren't.  As we were standing in line the first opening band started.  I thought it was NEEDTOBREATHE and was totally bummed that I was missing the band I was looking forward too.  Well Tracy was AWESOME and worked her way to the front and asked a person to buy me my T-shirt.  They agreed and I was SUPER EXCITED!  Tracy you ROCKED!!!  So after I got my T-shirt we got back to our seats and found out it was a different band starting and they were really good.  I don't know the name tho.  Then the time finally came and I got to see NEEDTOBREATHE play.

 None of these pictures are very good and I don't know why but I atleast got some.  This is the stage NEEDTOBREATHE started on.  I wish they had sang longer.

There were screens on both sides of the stage and if you sent your picture they put it up.  So I tried to be the cool aunt and get the picture up on the screen but we ran out of time and didn't get it up there =(
 Taylor Swifts stage.
I loved how she changed outfits and some of the scenery of the stage.  I was amazed how fast they did it too.  She sang every song but one from her Speak Now album and probably around 5 to 7 songs from her other albums.  It was awesome!
Taylor Swift sang Back to December.
She had her white piano come up from the floor for this number.  I was amazed how talented she really is. She can sing, play the guitar, piano, ukulele, and dances with her dancers.
 Taylor Swift had this tree from down from the ceiling and she sat there and played her guitar and ukulele.  It was cool that she even played a song by a band from Provo that she really liked.  She even took the time to walk from the stage to this tree and hug fans. 
 More stage changing. These trees came from the ceiling.
 Taylor Swift sang Love Story as her closing song and she got in this carriage and it went over the crowd.
Taylor Swift over by us during the last song.
There were so many neat things about this concert.  The dancers were amazing and very talented.  The dressing changes were fast and amazing and her band was so talented.  I was surprised by how young the crowd was.  There were parents taking their kids home before the concert was even over.  It was fun seeing how surprised Taylor Swift was at how the crowd responded to her. I can't wait for her to put out another album and go to her concert again.
