I was over spoiled last time with the backstage and pit. So since I was able to buy pit for this I went for it. No backstage stuff this time, but I didn’t really expect it. There was nobody between me and the performers except Taylor’s personal security & the live video dudes. I was like 10 feet from the steps from the main stage that went to the center catwalk. I saw a video of Meredith before the show.

Casey James came on first and he’s CUTE! Then Ed Sheeran played his set all alone with no band back up, it was really amazing.

Taylor, WOW. Her performance just keeps getting better every time I see her. I loved being so close up again and I have a ton of awesome photos to share! She loved the energy so hopefully she’ll be back.

I had some issues with the internet on my phone (sorry for the lack of tweets) but was able to text my mom & aunt between Casey, Ed & Taylor. It took some trial & error to meet up after the show as I had to leave through the emergency floor exit to get out faster and I wound up outside so I had to go back inside to the coat check (there was merch in there before the doors opened, I bought a T-shirt).

We left by 1:30 and arrived smoothly around 3:30 so first thing was my food stop at Burger King (with red cherry icee). Then after a quick stop at CVS Pharmacy I left my mom & aunt at Buffalo Wild Wings to go get in line for my pit ticket. I’d guess I was about 20th in line and then I had to jump over to the A-M window to pick up my tickets and there wasn’t but a couple people in front of me. Once I had my tickets at 6:00 (the doors were already open for 30 min ugh) I entered the gates and went straight down to the pit and stayed put.

It’s like 1:45 am so I’m gonna scroll through my pics on the computer and weed out a lot since I did continuous shooting. I’ll deal with the videos & everything uploading tomorrow. I have sinus & allergy problems right now so I need to get my after show rest if possible.
