I can appreciate your fear - absolutely. And I'm sooo happy your trip went so well! I have a friend who's a recent "Swiftie" and was telling me what she'd read and seen about this tour - and how after a terrorist threat, all the fans gave a concert of sorts to 200,000 people, singing all the songs (I might have some of those facts wrong but that's my memory of what she said). I'm sure you'll have heard about the event.

I haven't kept up with Taylor's work but did see a documentary about her a year or two ago and it was fantastic. The more I learn about her, the more impressed I am, and your beautiful telling of your experience has made me want to know more, and to dive in and check out all her music.

I was watching Survivor reruns recently (I don't have regular TV channels so I watch weird stuff sometimes!) and in one season, there were two guys having a 'song title battle' - one a Metallica fan, one a "Swiftie" and Swiftie fan Charlie won when they were somewhere over 100 titles and the other guy couldn't come up with another for Metallica.

I was blown away. I have favourite bands but rarely pay attention to the titles. I sure couldn't do what they did!

Thanks again for this story, Dana. It was really incredible - as are you. Dang, I wish you lived next door! 💜
