RED + TBT

For Christmas I surprised my sister with tickets to see Taylor Swift in Austin.  I lucked out and got a hold of the pre-sale code....those tickets seem to be IMPOSSIBLE to get.

After 6 months of waiting, Tuesday night was finally the night!  And we had a blast!

Whether you like Taylor Swift or not, she knows how to perform and put on an amazing show.  It was probably one of the best shows I've ever seen.  In fact, I can't think of anything that tops it....

Although we were pretty much at the very top, she did an outstanding job with working the entire crowd.  Everything from flying through the air, crowd surfing, and for her acoustic set, putting a stage in the back where the audience was sitting.  She had a ton of dancers dressed up in different costumes.  Very whimsical and it's almost like watching a broadway number.

And because we were near the top, I wasn't able to get any good photos.  I think that may have had something to do with all the lights -- each time I took one, it was just a blob of white!  There's also a good chance I just don't know how to work my phone...

Below are some videos of a couple songs. {who knew there was a size limit to videos?  sorry if they're a bit grainy.  had to compress them a bit...any advice on how to correct this in the future would be greatly appreciated!}  You'll be able to see how crazy the lights were but luckily I was able to get in one of the larger tv screens to see her on.

If you're ever able to see her live -- DO IT.  She really is an amazing performer and you won't be disappointed.

{before the show started...this is the only photo that actually turned out!}

And now a Throwback Thursday photo, since it is Thursday after all.  This is for you Lindsay!  Since I didn't even know you read my blog, I thought I'd put this up and remember the first time we ran a half marathon together almost 3 years ago!  Third times a charm for reals.  After being sick and then a monsoon hitting Waco...our third attempt was a success.  We need to get another one on the books soon -- Napa/Sonoma???
