Yeah, so me and my posse –Michelle Kinney and Margaret Conlan, got onto Ticketmaster at noon yesterday and after various attempts which left the two girls hitting panic mode while I tried to convince em 60,000 seats at Metlife would not be an automatic sell out appearances notwithstanding, we all gets tickets for Taylor Swift at Metlife on July 10 th. Tickets went on sale at 10am, I tried again at 3pm and they were still available.
Because, however sick you are of Tay, you can’t be sick of her live because she has so damn terrific.
How terrific? I’ve seen her maybe ten times so far and she has sucked exactly once. In maybe the second best time I’ve ever seen her, at the Prudential in March 2013, I wrote this: “Taylor gave her fans a superbly crafted set. A just about perfect two hours of pop rock with a good band and a minimum of acoustic hi-jinx. She treated her young fans with all the love and respect they deserved while, impossible to overstate this, streamlining the Speak Now esthetics to a fine point, a study in a simple design well executed and the least indulgent, most creative arena rock show anywhere.”
I am upset there doesn’t appear to be an equivalent of the Prudential concert on her 2015 tour, though we do get the MSG Jingle Ball set, that is all we’re getting so far. No Arena, only Stadiums. And only one night.
And I will be going to both Jingle Ball and Metlife, I mean of course, since her one chance, the chance I mentioned in 2010, to tour theatre size rooms performing acoustic sets are just about over now, is completed. Indeed, even the Tay I was friends with on Facebook has disappeared. In 2010 she is way too big, that’s all.
