I have been a Taylor Swift fan for as long as I can remember. I have made more friends online than I have in person. No one has given me more comfort than a blonde woman who I had the pleasure of meeting once when I was nine years old. When I could not get tickets for her first tour in five years, I was simply not accepting it. I had been planning on going to opening night since it was announced because I couldn’t wait three more months. However, as a broke college senior, I could not go into debt to go all the way to Arizona. I checked flights to opening night in Arizona every day for months. Finally, around the week of the concert, I began to give up. Two nights before the concert my girlfriend told me to check for tickets one last time because she knew how disappointed I was. Here is a photo dump from two nights before the concert and the following week.

Every single time I got tickets in my cart they disappeared.

My girlfriend and I with every single layer on to make our bags fit in the carry-on box.

Running on no sleep, purely vibes.

What do I wear? I jumped on a plane with no concert outfit. 

 

Okay this works.

Holy shit these are our seats.

My three moods throughout the concert:

Final Destination: Broke but happy
