Making Memories





The Taylor Swift featuring Ed Sheeran Concert was easily one of the most beautiful and magical nights of my life thanks to Josie Blandino (my best friend Gabby's mom). I have been obsessed with Taylor Swift since about the age of 14 which was around the time when I was starting to experience liking boys and sadly getting into relationships. I look back now and think what the hell was I thinking?! I was so young, fragile, and innocent.  But like every other teenager, "We do what we want because we know what's best for us." If there are any young ones out there listen to people who have experience and wait. Don't look for a relationship, this is the time where you should be having fun with your friends and experiencing your youth. You will never get this time back, you have the rest of your life to find love. ANYWAYS, sorry for that.. but I had to. Experiencing love and heartbreak are definitely experiences you most likely never forget because they can change so much of who you are as a person. Relationships can either make you a better person or they can destroy you, leaving you with shattered pieces scattered across the floor to pick back up all alone. Thankfully, Taylor Swift has gone through some of the same relationship experiences and girls all around the world can relate to her lyrics. Music is so powerful because when you can't express how you're feeling; you could listen to a song with just the right lyrics and suddenly you had that exact same experience and it's almost as if you wrote that song your self because it showed exactly how you felt. Girls who have experienced love and heartbreak all around the world can relate to Taylor Swift and her music, helping them deal with their heartbreak and pain. I remember in high school sitting in my room replaying Last Kiss by Taylor Swift over and over again probably at least 10 times a day, AT LEAST. And although it took me a really long time to get over the heart break and depression I did and listening to Taylor's music helped me so much. Even though I was still hurting, singing her music always made me feel better. Her music is so authentic and genuine and her lyrics really did help me through some of the darkest times in high school.  Going to this concert was such a huge deal for me I had seen Taylor Swift perform before at Jingle Ball at the Nokia theatre but that was just a small set with other performers. This concert was finally an actual full Taylor Swift set, and at the Staples Center, I couldn't believe I was actually going. It was an amazing night with Gabby and Jasmine. It was a night filled with a load of screams, watery tears, and just so much emotion.  Oh my god, I totally forgot to talk about KING ED. Ed Sheeran is just so magical as well and writes such  beautiful music. I wasn't just seeing Taylor Swift I was seeing them both in one night! I really couldn't handle the experience and kept questioning what my life was that night. If you're around me you will most likely always here me say, "OMG WHAT IS MY LIFE?" that usually means I'm really excited about something and I really can't handle what ever is going on because it's to much to handle and beyond my excitement. You get the point, I was really excited. Ed Sheeran opened up the show singing all of my favorite songs and just killed it. Later on Taylor Swift came on and sang all of my favorite songs and Gabby and I were basically losing our heads jumping and screaming our lives away to every upbeat song. While tearing up, crying, and feeling at peace with her softer songs that had a lot of meaning to us. The music hit are hearts and we were so in love with the night. Each night of the Red Tour Taylor Swift would bring about a surprise guest and I was so so so happy went on the last day of the La tour because she brought out the legend Jennifer Lopez and they sang one of my favorite throwback classics Jenny from the Block it was just so so good, and that's when I basically died and came back to life. They slayed the stage with their body rolls, dancing, and singing it was easily one of the best moments of my life. 


I still cant believe how lucky I was to go! I literally have the best second mom ever thanks for getting us the best seats and thanks for a night I will never forget I love you Josie!
