Taylor Swift

I went with several of my friends down to Tampa to see Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour. Eleanor was pretty upset I wasn't taking her, which was hard, but it was for my friend's 40th birthday so it wasn't in the cards. The flights down went smoothly, but unfortunately we got a flat tire in the rental car on our way in to Tampa so had to deal with that for much of the morning of our first day.

We got breakfast at a very delicious bagel place before heading to the tire shop.

We took a walk around a lake and then went home to get ready and go out to eat prior to the concert.

Then it was off to the concert!

The concert was just incredible!

I saw Taylor Swift a long time ago as an opener for Brad Paisley, but this experience was so different. She was amazing.

Some of the show was very "showy" but some was very down to earth - just her and the piano or her and the guitar.

Bejeweled

We were all handed these bracelets upon arrival that lit up throughout the show in various patterns - I had never seen anything like it! There were hearts during Lover, snakes during Reputation...it was amazing.

The next morning we went to brunch on the beach.

Then we spent pretty much the entire day at the beach, which was so lovely.

That night we went out to a nice dinner, and then the next morning we headed home. It was a really fun trip!
