Fearless Tour - Mohegan Sun


Night number two. I wish this night would never end. Once again it was beyond amazing. I'm so proud of her.

Cause I don't know how it gets better than this...




OH. MY. GOSH.



FEARLESS WAS AMAZING.



We got back like 20 mins ago and I'm like...shaking. It was better than I thought. I can't talk becuase I was screaming singing so loud. We ended up being first row in like the middle of the catwalk and that was soooo cool. :) I'm gonna break it down. Five things per person so I don't ramble much....which I will. haha.






GLORIANA:



1. Oh my Gosh. I wasn't expecting them to be that great. But I am thouroughly blown away.



2. The Way It Goes is officially my new favorite song.



3. Rachel is beautiful.



4. They relate so wonderfully to the audience. They connect and that's great.



5. I'm sad their set was only like 4 songs. Boo.






KELLIE PICKLER:



1. I don't really like her but now I love her.



2. HER SHOES WERE SO AMAZING. ajsghajoughoeiguh I can't even describe the awesome level they had.



3. Uhm....I'm ending with three. "I Wonder" is now my second favorite song. It was so beautiful and amazing and I just loved every second of it. So much emotion and ahhh, it was amazing. :)






TAYLOR SWIFT:



1. Best live that I've heard her out of all the award shows, Today show, and other concerts. :) She's growning up and her voice has to.



2. I cried twice when she sang. Once during "Fifteen" (me and Kelli's song) and once during "Tim McGraw" as she sang "and when you turn New York radio on, I hope it takes you back to that place" becuase that song got it started for me and to see her headlining a sold out show at Madison Square Garden is just...beyond words.




3. Change was amazing live. So great.




4. Watching Taylor touching both of my little sisters hands and them looking at me with the most amazing faces and me getting a picture of it happening. And Isabella hugging me as we were getting in the cab to go home and saying "You're the best sister ever." And that made me cry again.




5. Just every second of it. She never hit a bad note. She sang everything wonderfully, connected with the audience great. I don't know what I was expecting but I am blown away.






I cannot talk at all and I have to be up at 8 to bring my sisters home and go to Connecticut. I can't believe I get to do that again tomorrow. I'm more excited for time number two that I am for number one. I don't know how I'll be able to sing along though. Haha. Oh and the pictures were taken on a regular digital camera and on my iphone so some kinda suck. :D

Umm A mix of odds and ends.






Basically I'm only blogging because I need to clip in something for someone for polyvore. :)



Umm. I'm feeling pretty great about life recently. I've been counting down the days to the weekend of the F E A R L E S S tour. YESSSSSS. Cue high pitched squeel. In exactly one week from now I'll be able to touch the stage and I'll have seen Gloriana and be seeing Kelli Pickler. I'll be able then, probably in about a week from fourty five minutes from now I'll be singing You Belong With Me on the top of my lungs wiht my five year old twin sisters and Katie.



You have no idea how bad I'm freaking out about this. I've been counting down since March(?) and IT'S FINALLY HERE. Expect about eighteen thousand pictures up by next Sunday.


I'm beyond thrilled that it's finally here and that it's finally happening. And what's even better is that I get to see it twice. The first night I'll probably be in total awe and crying and etc. And the next day I'll be able to soak it in and enjoy it and not be a total spazz.


Three years ago I was listening to "Tim McGraw" and never imagining she'd become this big. Madison Square Garden is HUGE. And I still cannot believe that she's on her first headlining tour and at a place this huge that sold out in a minute. I feel like a proud mama. To her, this has to be so surreal. Anyway...I'm gonna stop rambling.

ahh, life.

I've spent about one wonderfully amazing month here in Maine. From the 2 minute walk to the ocean and the sound of waves out my window when I sleep to the endless icecream possibilities. Everything has been so great. I'm sad to leave on Tuesday night.

We've spent the last week with some friends and every second there has been laughter, smiles, fighting over wether to watch Shark Week or What Not To Wear, and just everything has been so great. I've honestly never been happier. And I love to say that and I love to feel it.

And the best part is, I love that it shows. I don't have to force or fake anything anymore. And that makes other people happy too. Like Katie, she's had so many issues in this last year that I wouldn't have been able to handle, but today on the beach she just put her chin on my shoulder and her arm around me and said "I'm happy to have my best friend back." And that made me cry, because I spent a good three or four months of my life wasted and I regret that deeply.

I'm stopping now because I'm gonna take a walk with my girlies (Tobie -Ethan's sister/bestfriend, Katie (bestestfriendever), and Annika (bestfriendmadeatNYU)). Walks on the beach at night are the best becasue you find the best shells and its empty and it is beautiful. Look at the moon. It's stunning.

song i wrote with katie

J U S T M I G H T

Just might go ahead
Let the sand run out
I'm gonna scream and shout
Just might forget about you
Loose my head
But instead
I'm gonna hold on to myself
And let you go now
I just might forget about you

Take some time to look back
On the days we said
Things we can't take back
But now oh now
I just want to hold on
But I...

Just might go ahead
Let the sand run out
I'm gonna scream and shout
Just might forget about you
Loose my head
But instead
I'm gonna hold on to myself
Let you go now
I just might forget about you

Just might go ahead
Let the sand run out
I'm gonna scream and shout
Just might forget about you
I'm gonna try not to loose my head
And prevent this breakdownI
Scream and shout
To let you go now
I can forget about you
Forget about you now.
Oh I just might forget about you
I just might.....

Heartbreak

Why do boys do bad things?
Why do boys hurt beautiful girls who've been through enough?
Better yet, why do boys who seem like good boys cheat on good girls?

This is what I've been asking myself since yesterday. So let me tell you a story.

Once there was a beautiful girl with smooth chocolate-y skin and a beautiful smile. She was confident and true to her words. She loved her friends and would be their for their tears and force laughter and smiles when they really needed it. Then, when she was 13, her parents got divorced, she moved away from the city she grew up in and her dad moved too, meaning....she never got to see her friends who got reallly selfish about that (and still are) and then her mom began verbally abusing her and her little sister. But they stayed strong. This girl helped raise her little sister because her mother basically couldn't. Then, at age 17, she helped a girl who couldn't always find a smile get through the worst and told her she was beautiful when she was bald and rubbed her back when she puked from the chemo. She did what others couldn't do. Then this friend passed, and we had to deal and we did, she did better than me but we got through it and came out stronger with a purpose to live. Then, this past December, this abuse got even worse with her mothe, so she made the decision in the middle of her senior year to take her sister and move to Boston...a hundred or so miles away from her mother becuase it became too much and she needed to. Then, when she was there, she was happier than ever. Her sister made good friends, she made good friends. And then, when she turned 18 in April, she met this great guy...a junior at her school. They went to prom together, and then, her best friend AKA ME, met him and approved. He was the nicest guy, sweet, adorable. They shared three weeks in Germany with thier schools exchange this July and June and then, a week after they get home...

BAM. She sees him cheating on her. Like that, everything good about this boy becomes bad. And it just makes me so mad that, someone who knew all of that, would go and do that to her. It's not right. It makes me so mad.

So today she came up and we went for a long walk on the beach and hung out and baked and blasted revenge songs (the best ones "kerosene" and "picture to burn") and we danced and screamed the lyrics. Just had some good girl time.

She's just so heartbroken and I wish I could do more to help her. Make it all feel better. But I can't. I don't think nothing can.

Oh yeah....we wrote a really really great guy-trashing breakup song. Well, a few songs...but one good one. Haha.

So I chose the best of my premiere pictures. I didn't try to take pictures in thier faces as that's kinda rude. So here's pictures from like a week ago. :D
