Burning Red

{11th June ~ 8:50 - 10:10}
THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT IS OVER. *CRIES* WHYYYYYYYYYY????!!!!!
Ok firstly: It ended too quickly, and she didn't sing enough songs from Red.
BUT ANYWAY, THE GOOD THINGS.
This was my very first concert, and I totally loved the experience.
My brother and I went early to check out the place and buy merchandise before the crowds arrived. There were already people waiting in line, it was 2PM. I bought a shirt, a baton, and a guitar pick set.
Then after waiting around at our hotel, we came back and it was SHOWTIME.
People who walked right in front of me: The 2nd Asia's Next Top Model, and Taylor Swift's mom.

Ok, say what you like about her, but she knows how to put on a good show, and she sings really well.
There are no words to describe that moment, but as always I will try.
I love how she used the colour to describe emotions that are both positive and negative..
I didn't even realise that I knew all the lyrics till I started singing every word, it was like something switched on and I just sang and screamed with everyone else. It was amazing.

Her dancing like nobody's watching, even though everyone is.
She was and is so adorable, I'm crying.
She talked about so many things, and shared all her stories about why she wrote Mean, about how she writes her songs.

State of Grace, Holy Ground had an amazing drum montage, Red started with an introduction, the cutest curtsy and "terima kasih" ever, and guitar solos.
The Lucky One started with a little video with a very Paperman feel, in which she looked so gorgeous.
Mean had a beautiful introduction, and I really appreciated her singing it.
There was this really cute collection of home videos of her.
22 had awesome dancers (as did the entire concert).
You Belong With Me and Enchanted were just her and her guitar, and her I ♥ KL T-shirt. Sparks Fly had her going down the middle of the stadium greeting her fans. I wasn't close enough, sadly. BUT SHE WAS WITHIN 10 METRES OF ME AND IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME.
I Knew You Were Trouble had the coolest violin solo as an introduction, All Too Well had her playing the piano. IKYWT had her dancing so hard her hair was all over her face so halfway through her All Too Well intro she had to stop and push it away from her face and she was like: I need to get all this hair out of my face, or something and everyone laughed because she had the "do I still look pretty" face and of course she is but she was totally cute and it was totally funny.
Love Story had a ballet montage at the beginning. And I was so happy that she sang it.
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together was a circus. And her "Selamat Malam", perfect.

Dearest Taylor Swift, I didn't get to touch you, I didn't get your hat, I don't have a good photograph of you, but I will always have a crystal clear image of you burning red in my memory. Thank you for one hell of a time. I will never ever ever forget tonight. :')

This is a State of Grace.
A few songs, just her and her guitar. SHE IS SO TALENTED.
All Too Well, playing the piano simultaneously like an angel.
The Grand Finale: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Wait what??
Bonus: Bad Ass violinist Caitlin Bird with the intro for I Knew You Were Trouble.
I am now hoarse from all that singing and screaming. Oh well. Her coming here to perform her music was everything, and I am so glad that I got to see her live. :)
