My first Taylor Swift concert experience
Today, I have worked at my job for exactly one year. I've been dreading this day for months now and yet I never really thought it would come. Yet it has, and to celebrate this momentous occasion, I've decided to recount my time at the Taylor Swift concert last Friday. It seems only appropriate as my friend and I decided to go as a treat to ourselves for making it through one year of post-grad life. Not to mention the fact that Shake It Off was released the exact same day I started my job, so the song is exactly one year old today. It's like Taylor and I both started off the next chapters of our lives at the same time, which makes the world bringing us together at this particular moment a little something like fate, right? ;)
Let me preface this by saying that this was my first Taylor Swift concert, and probably my first concert for anyone quite as famous. Personally I prefer my indie bands and music festivals when it comes to seeing performers live, but hey, this is a life experience too right? After all, how many times will you attend a sold out show at Levi's Stadium? Unless you go to both shows... Either way, that's 50,000+ people in the crowd. Each night.
As any frequent concert-goer would know, your experience begins the moment you set out on the journey to reach the venue. For us, this involved a light rail ride to Levi's stadium. At the station, we met a middle-aged man who asked us whether we paid face value for our tickets or not. It turns out his wife had bought tickets a month or so before, but she was in Turkey until Saturday. So he decided to brave the concert alone. That was one brave man. When the light rail arrived and we stepped on, we were immediately met with ecstatic little girls, dressed up in various Taylor music video inspired outfits holding homemade signs professing their love for the artist, and their families. A little disturbing to be honest, but not completely unexpected. It really did seem like everyone and their mother was going to this concert. I felt really bad for the poor souls who were just trying to take the light rail home.
It took four stations to reach the stadium. I'm going to take a moment here to say that I find Levi's Stadium to be really impressive. No wonder it has the most expensive tickets in the NFL. Walking up to the stadium, you get the chance to take in how astoundingly shiny, white, and big it is. We made our way to the entrance, stopping to get our tiny bags checked by the security. Pro tip: You can't bring bags larger than an adult's hand into the stadium unless it's a clear plastic one. They do hand them out before you get to security and there is a bag check, but honestly that's just more hassle.
We had floor tickets, so we headed through the gate the signs directed us to go, stopping by at the merch tent to take a glance. At the entrance into the tunnels, they gave us these snazzy wristbands that were going to light up during the show. Then it was into the depths of the stadium. It was pretty cool to be able to walk through the same tunnels the players walk before they head out onto the pitch. At the entrance to the floor, we ran into this line. At first I thought it was the bathroom line, but it turned out it was Taylor's meet and greet line. Had I been a more dedicated Taylor fan, I may have known about this stuff, but as it is I think I'm a little more casual in my reverence than the average Taylor fan. More on that later.
Emerging from the tunnel, I found myself on the field of Levi's stadium. The FIELD. Can you imagine the greats who have walked this path before? Granted the field was covered by this white plastic flooring, but still. It was pretty tremendous. We tracked down our seats. Section M. Row 18. Seats 13 and 14. Not super close but close enough. Having assigned seats gave us the freedom to wander before the start of the show (and also a place to sit during it). So that's what we did. Eventually, we made our way to the merch tent on the floor and purchased tour shirts because, well, they were pretty cute. And with this being my first TSwift concert and all, I felt like I should have the full experience.
As we waited for 7'o'clock to approach, Taylor's team kept us entertained by playing these video clips they had put together on the jumbo screens on the sides of the stage. There was trivia, interviews with Taylor, music video behind the scenes, album creation behind the scenes, and of course, YouTube clips discovered by Taylurking. My personal favorite was a frat's lip sync of Shake It Off. More people streamed in, filling the seats around us. More costumes. More signs. Young. Old. Female. Male. And everything in between. I had never seen a more diverse audience.
Then, out of nowhere, we're treated to the high-pitched screams of over-excited 12 year old girls, and out walked Shawn Mendes on to the stage. He seemed so small, especially when compared to the magnitude of the venue, but that didn't deter the newly turned 17 year old. I have to admit, I think the boy has potential. I only knew one of the songs he played, but he sounded pretty good live, even if it was just him and his guitar. He just needs to work on the whole audience engagement thing. And as much as I would like to give the 12 year old girls a hard time for freaking out over him, if I was 12, I would probably like him too, only maybe not quite at that decibel.
Next came Vance Joy, who I had been pretty excited to see. Vance clearly had a little more experience, and not to mention a band to back him up. I think he would be an excellent music festival contender. To be honest, I also didn't know most of the songs he played. But when he brought out the ukelele, I knew Riptide was coming. And getting to see that live made the $100+ ticket more worth it.
Now, it was time to wait some more as the crew cleared the stage of Vance's stuff and got ready for Taylor. During the intermission, they played some more of those videos I mentioned earlier. And some music as well. At this time, my friend turned to me and said, "You know who would have made a really good opener for Taylor? Fifth Harmony." Then someone famous walked by, and the crowd freaked out, but I couldn't figure out who it was. So we craned our necks for a bit, but then sat back down and continued waiting.
The sun was going down. A nice breeze had picked up. I was ready for Taylor. And then, Calvin Harris' Feel So Close came on over the loudspeaker. I laughed and turned to my friend noting how appropriate this song choice was. And what do you know, this was Taylor's "entrance song". Because right after it ended, the lights dimmed, the screaming started, and the band began to play. All of a sudden, there she was. Standing on that stage. Silhouetted against the darkness. A single ray of light. And of course, wearing her famous white rimmed sunglasses. Even in the madness, I couldn't help but appreciate that nice little tribute she paid to her beau, intentional or not.
And madness it was. The sheer volume achieved, well, I imagine could only be equal to something like an NBA finals game at Warrior Stadium, a World Cup game, or an Olympics opening ceremony. It was overwhelming and comforting at the same time. To be in the crowd. To be a part of something that big. There are no words.
Taylor kicked the concert off with Welcome to New York. Almost immediately our issued wristbands began to light up and glow. It was even cooler than watching an entire stadium turn on the flash on their cellphones. These lights changed color, changed pattern, and blinked to the beat of the music. In sync. Out of sync. It's a sight I will never forget. We realized that our wristbands were different than the ones we could see in the stands because we had floor wristbands. For a moment, I felt a twinge of jealousy for those farther back. The view must have been incredible. But then Taylor took off her sunglasses, and I could see her. She walked forward on the stage, and I could see her better. I could see her facial expressions. And I was no longer jealous of anyone behind me but rather those in front of me. My inner fan girl was coming out to join the party, and she was really digging the company that night.
So this is the point at which I embarrassingly admit that I don't remember every song from the set list that night. Again, as I've mentioned before, I'm a casual Taylor fan, though after that night it's likely that will change. Either way, this post is starting to get really long, so I'll just highlight some of my most memorable moments from here on out.
Taylor's musical talents apparently know no bounds. She graced us with her guitar during an acoustic rendition of Should've Said No (her meet and greet song of choice because apparently she does one each show, the Saturday night one was Never Grow Up, dedicated to her godson Leo Thames Newman, which is just the sweetest thing ever). Then there was We Are Never Getting Back Together on the electric. Lastly, a 1989-ed up version of Love Story and Enchanted/Wildest Dreams mashup that brought us Taylor the piano player. Two out of these four songs featured a crazy section of the stage that levitated and spun around. Taylor was literally flying over the crowd. If there is one thing that I would want to do, it's to fly over a crowd of 50,000 people. Maybe one day...
In addition to that incredible part of the stage, there were many other parts of this concert's production value that made it infinitely superior to even the Lord of the Rings films. There was a dress and umbrellas and rain made of lights (and maybe real rain?). Giant paper airplanes appeared on the stage during some point. Smoke. Lasers. Oh and fireworks. At one point during the show, there were fireworks going off somewhere else, I suspect Great America, and Taylor looked around confused asking "That's not me is it?" Because apparently she did have fireworks and was probably worried that they had been set off too early.
Oh and remember when my friend said that Fifth Harmony would be a great opener for Taylor? Well guess who was our special guest of the night? Whatever I had to go through to get me there in that moment was totally "Worth It" ;)
In general Taylor's shows tend to be pretty star-studded. Rumor is Julia Roberts and Joan Baez graced the stage on Saturday night. Plus in between some of the songs, when I suspect Taylor is switching costumes or getting some water, they showed clips of members of her crew talking about her and her life. Lena Dunham was by far my favorite. She was so funny, it made me want to start watching Girls again. Too bad I can't remember anything she said.
And what is a great show without a great finale? True to form, Taylor ended her concert with a bang (literally - fireworks, remember?) on a performance of Shake It Off. The levitating stage was involved. Wristbands lit up. 50,000 people sang at the top of their lungs. Dancing may or may not have been involved. Overall, a spectacular close to a spectacular night.
I just wanted to take one last moment to appreciate some of the other aspects of this concert. First Taylor's band is first class. They're incredible musicians, and probably have one of the world's best gigs. Second her backup dancers...well...let's just say Taylor's got good taste. In addition to all the performers, there is all the crew. How many people does it take to put together a production of this size? How many hours did they spend slaving away? How much money does it cost to rent Levi's stadium. This concert was more high-cost production than mere musical performance. It probably had the budget of a small blockbuster film. To organize and put something like this together, not just one concert but an entire tour around the world, is an incredible feat, and I have mad respect for the people who contributed to the endeavor. After all, if it wasn't for them, I would never have had this amazing experience. So thank you. All of you. Every person involved. You may not be a celebrity like Taylor, but remember that she needs every one of you. You're a team, and even the star player needs supporting players to win the championship game. I hope she treats you with the respect and appreciation you deserve.
For those of you who made it this far, I commend you. And you're in for a real treat. This is where my post gets very insightful. The thing about Taylor Swift is that she, or someone on her team, is a marketing genius. Her PR campaign is by far one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen. Most celebrities are unreachable. They're famous, which is why we idolize them, but they're too famous and hard to relate to. Our relationships with them are one-sided, our appreciation is uni-directional. But not Taylor. She's different. She's personable. She'll always take time to meet her fans. She sends them Christmas presents and responds to their social media messages. She drives to their houses to surprise them. Being Taylor's fan comes with the promise that if you love her enough, that if you love her more than any other fan in the world, she'll find a way to know who you are. It is by far the cleverest marketing strategy to be devised by any celebrity's PR team. And the cherry on top of it all? She's so sweet and the things she does are filled with so much kindness that it's hard not to believe she does this because she genuinely wants to. Taylor Swift is the perfect package. The ultimate pop star. The ideal role model. You can see how wide her audience reach is just by the diversity of those in attendance. Parents want to take their kids to a Taylor Swift concert. She even has her entire family in on the game. Her mom wanders the aisles looking for ultimate Taylor fans to attend Taylor's after party (which apparently, from my personal experience, leads to a lot of screaming, hyperventilating, and freaking out of people in the crowd that's mildly disrupting to those who are trying to watch the show). Her brother posts backstage instagram photos of all the stadiums they visit. No offense Katy Perry, but in this fight you will always lose.
The truth is, I'm not a part of Taylor Nation. She wouldn't find me on social media while Taylurking. I'll probably never be a big enough fan to land one of those after concert backstage invites. I'll probably not even be a big enough fan to land myself in a drawing for a meet and greet. But I have to say, even I was affected by her pull. During the concert, Taylor mentioned that while many of the people there have seen her plenty of times before live, there must be a lot of people for whom this is a first time experience. Her response to that? "Yay new friends!". And for a brief moment, I actually thought I could be friends with Taylor Swift. She has this uncanny ability to make you feel special. To make you feel connected to her. And while she is speaking to a crowd of 50,000, somehow she makes every sentence feel like it's directed towards you and you alone. She smiles and it feels like she's smiling at you. She winks and it feels like she's winking at you. Until of course you realize that you're cheering along with, well, 50,000 other people.
Is it a charade? Perhaps. Are there millions of fans out there who dedicate their lives to her and yet may never meet her? It's likely. But you have to remember that at the core of it, she is running a business. She's the CEO of Taylor Swift Inc. and that comes with a lot of responsibility. And without her fans, her empire will surely collapse. Even if it's false hope, even if it's for business reasons, that doesn't mean that the few who do get to meet her aren't truly grateful. It doesn't mean that she isn't doing her darnedest to meet all the fans that she can. It doesn't mean that she isn't making some person's day right now knowing that they'll have the chance to talk to their idol. Most importantly, it doesn't mean that she's not inspiring millions of girls out there to want to grow up and be like her. In fact, I'm pretty sure she is. And teaching young girls that they can do anything they put their minds to is not a bad thing. She didn't get here in one day. It was a lot of hard work and dedication. As long as she continues to inspire future leaders (and not only build up obsessed followers), then it's a win-win situation. At the end of the day, I may still prefer indie band concerts and musical festivals to these sold-out, elaborate, teched up productions. I might still freak out over Vampire Weekend and George Ezra more than I will ever freak out over Taylor Swift. But as far as celebrities go, as far as pop stars go, as far as businesswomen go, you have to admit, Taylor Swift is pretty amazing.
Let me preface this by saying that this was my first Taylor Swift concert, and probably my first concert for anyone quite as famous.
