I remember my 1st concert - Huey Lewis & the News with all of my family and Erin's family. It was wonderful! A perfect family concert. Through my father's advertising agency, I was able to see many wonderful concerts (Ozzy Ozbourne, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Reba etc) but your 1st is always memorable!
What I truly loved most about this concert was that it was all moms and daughters. Seriously 12,000 moms and daughters packed into the Frank Erwin Center all decked out in Taylor merchandise and singing at the top of their lungs. We did not have a positive woman role model when I was growing up that my mother would have enjoyed with me - Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Janet Jackson,... Debbie Gibson might have been the closest but I don't remember her being the positive role model that Taylor has become and I definitely was not obsessed with her.
The concert was amazing!
A full Broadway style show with beautiful costumes, dances and most of all, I just loved how much Taylor talked about being a strong, independent girl. To not succumb to mean girls and negativity. I needed to hear it as much as Ash did. It was just so uplifting! I think I had an even better time than Ash as Taylor did not come onstage until 8p - which is our usual bedtime.
Ash, thank you for experiencing this first wonderful concert with your mommy. I loved watching your eyes light up and to see you dance and sing freely - with no embarrassment about being with your mom as I know that is coming all too soon. Thank you Nana for a great night!
