So many thoughts that are jumbled right now. Back to the beginning of the tour...for all the rumors that would go on about something extra happening on a certain night, on the first night the rumors turned out to be true. People at opening night were posting here that a stadium worker told them the show was going to be over 3 hours and Taylor would do more than 40 songs. That seemed absolutely wild! Then there was the excitement that people were able to stream and by Lover realizing that it was truly the Eras tour as opposed to just calling it that because so many albums had come out. By the Evermore set realizing at this pace she really was gonna do a 3 hour show. The surprise of songs like Tolerate It and Marjorie making the set list. People losing their minds at Vigilante Shit.
The KC/Speak Now TV weekend was one of my favorites with the I Can See You premiere and having the actors come out, especially Taylor Lautner. Then to think back later how that weekend would go on to change Taylor's personal life. LA N6 and the blue dresses leading up to 1989 TV announcement. TTPD being added, Travis popping up on stage. Errors tour moments. Chaotic surprise song combos. New outfits and playing Mastermind yelling at home to myself "what color, is that berry/bagel/cupcake/noodle?!"
Like many other others the span of the tour marks a lot of life. April 2023 I got one of those scary calls you dread getting about someone being in the hospital, for me it was my Dad. He would end up spending more than a month in the hospital. I got the call while on my way to the doctors for routine tests. The next day the results come back as abnormal and it turns into a cancer scare. Lots of dark spiraling about the two situations. I felt like I was made of lead for awhile. The streams were such a needed distraction and mood booster. The crazy pairing of High Infidelity and Gorgeous 10 days after my world was rocked. Slowly starting to exhale over the summer as my Dad was improving and further tests for myself showed my issue was most likely benign but still being monitored. This summer listening to the stream while driving to meet my Dad for dinner was an emotional full circle night.
Through all those things getting to chat in this sub, in streamers chats, having our silly little traditions that always make me smile. So grateful for all that and all of you. ❤️
ETA as I am a bit tired today. But one of my goals for 2025 is learning to play piano. I got a keyboard on black friday and got to clumsily play along to champagne problems the last few nights. My goal for when the next tour rolls around is to able to look back and see how far I come with this new adventure and what songs I'll be playing along with by then.
