Rupp Arena was Rockin!

First let me start by saying that any chance I get to go to Rupp Arena I usually jump. Born and raised a University of Kentucky Wildcat fan, it's just a big deal to go there and see where all the that wonderful history has taken place. I love it there.

That being said, when it comes to music, I'm all about it even more. Concerts at Rupp are awesome! They never cease to impress me.

Now let's get down to the point, I have one absolute favorite singer, you may have heard of her... Taylor Swift! (aahh!!!!) lol. Sometimes  I feel like I am too told to be flippin out over a singer but then again, she's everything I wanted to be, a wonderful singer, a great style, and at some point in each of her songs I can relate to them all. She's got a genuine personality (from what i can tell in interviews and her twitter anyway). I have met her once, it was pretty cool, I wasn't as big of a fan at the time though, or it would have been a bigger deal.

But back on topic here, Rupp Arena the night of the concert was rockin!!

Britty & Me @ the show

The worst act was the "Need to Breathe" act that played just before Taylor came out, they were more of a hard rock band. How horrible of an opening act for a country singer? They were a mess and gave me a headache, I was thoroughly bored.

Prior to "Need to Breathe" there was another opening act that was awesome! David Nail, it was so cool! No one knew he was suppose to be there, but by no means were any of us upset about this surprise. It was simple, it was small, and it was great. I believe that an opening act for a country act doesn't have to be something huge and flashy, something simple and small worked well in this setting.

this is David Nail "Red Light"

On to the highlights of my night, the curtain closed and the set up began on Taylor's stage. Finally the lights darkened, the crowd was to their feet and the curtain arose, and there she was- it was GREAT! The music was pumping, the crowd was screaming and it was just a big adrenaline rush! After months of having these tickets sitting in my jewelry box it was finally time to have my big night out. The music started and I was ecstatic, honestly to the point that I did tear up a little bit at the beginning of the show, it was a stress relief to finally be there and actually not have to worry about anything- was a great relief!

Taylor was awesome! She was bubbly, upbeat, and connected. I love the way she draws the audience in and keeps them connected throughout the entire show. She's just got that personality. You can tell by watching her she really loves hearing the crowd go nuts and gets sincere pleasure out of that feeling that comes from them.  I also like that there is a "show" within the concert. Each song is acted out for the audience and that takes a lot of work to pull off every nigh.

She made my night when she sang "Never Grow Up," although it did make me cry, it is a beautiful song. What also made this special for me was that she doesn't sing this song at most of her concerts, only certain ones that her family is at. Her mother specially requested that she sing that song and she did, for her mother and father and brother that were there. I think it's beautiful, it reminds me of the Princess actually. I highly recommend that everyone listen to the song (i will post it below).

"Never Grow Up" by Taylor Swift

Sparks Fly was probably her most "electrifying" song, no pun intended. It was great seeing her jump around  and put her heart and soul into her music from the very first song. Also it proved that she was dedicated when you could hear her voice crack in  few places and then she admitted she has been sick, and didn't want to cancel another show. She's dedicated and hardworking.

All in all we had a great night- it was awesome and I haven't heard Rupp that loud before, ever...

I highly recommend that everyone check out her concert when she comes to a city near you!
