I remember back in December 2014 I had considered buying 2x concert tickets as soon as they were released along with some cheap air fares to either her Melbourne or Adelaide shows, but I soon realised it wasn't feasible as I had just resigned from my job & was having a few months off before starting my new role & had to be smart about my spending + i had found that i had no Swifties (Taylor Swift Fans) in my friend group, So I held off & within a few days everything was sold out. Many tears were shed.
For the next few months I went through different emotional states. Sometimes it was just utter disappointment & others it was me telling myself that maybe im to old to like Taylor Swift (NEVER!!). But in the end I had to put on my big girl boots & accepted my fate. No concert for me (insert sad face emoji here). Come May Taylor's 1989 World Tour had begun & my Instagram Feed was flooded with updates with her performances from all over the world & not to mention surprise celebrity guests!! I used to have updates sent to my phone so i knew when she had posted up new photos. But after awhile i had decided to unsubscribe from this because i couldn't take the heartache anymore.
Then late on a Wednesday night i was at home researching our upcoming holiday & facebooking when i noticed a friend of mine needed to borrow a suitcase. Those who know me would know that if i can im always happy to help people out. So i texted my friend to see how she was & if she found a suitcase ok. Shortly after i received a text message back saying she had found a suitcase but now was terribly upset because her friend had cancelled her plans with her & now she would be going alone to Adelaide & alone to the Taylor Swift Concert. OMG!! This is my chance I thought to myself & mentioned to her that it was a long shot but I may be able to come & that id let her know by lunch time tomorrow. So the next day I went into work & explained my undying love for Taylor Swift to my boss & how I have the opportunity to now go & see her in Adelaide. And he was totally cool with it. BEST BOSS EVER!! But after searching for cheap flights it was starting to look like it wasn't going to be possible again so I had started to give up. Then by lunch time I had a email come through from my Fiancé saying Merry Christmas babe. He had booked and paid for my flights......lets just say there was a few tears of joy and an over whelming feeling of love and appreciation for my partner.
Anyway come the Sunday late afternoon I was boarding a plane to Adelaide & excited beyond my Wildest Dreams (get it......). I landed late Sunday night after a constant turbulent flight & arrived in the stinking 40 degree heat. I made my way to Glenelg to meet my friend at the backpackers & slept on the hardest bed I have ever laid on while listening to the man below us constantly coughing his guts up. But this did not matter. Tomorrow I would get to see Taylor Swift preform.
Monday morning I woke up early (mainly due to the overbearing heat & lack of aircon + the guy below us who is now missing a lung as he had coughed it up) & decided to venture out to the beach & get some breakfast.

Once breakfast was over we packed up our stuff & headed into the Adelaide CBD where we would be staying for our last night & so it was closer for the concert. For the remainder of the day we just walked around the city for a bit and looked at shops & had some lunch. Then it was time to go back to the hotel to start getting ready (while listening to Taylor Swift of course). Soon after we hopped on the train with hundreds of other die hard Swifties. And finally we arrived AHHHHHHHHH.
From here on out please excuse the bad photography. My little phone can only take so much of me jumping around + bad lighting. But here is a few images to give you a little taste of the amazingness that was the 1989 World Tour.

Once the concert had finished we were both on such a high & made our way back the the hotel.
Im pretty sure we both fell asleep that night with the biggest smiles on our faces.
Tuesday morning i woke up wearing my 1989 World Tour T-shirt knowing it wasn't a dream ha ha.
I then got ready & boarded my plane back home to Perth.
But i will leave you with this. I regret NOTHING & my love for Taylor is more strong than ever. And im not afraid to admit it.
