TAYLOR SWIFT'SSPEAK NOW WORLD TOUR

I think people are looking for innocence and applaud or appreciate it when they find it. I believe this is one of the many factors attributing to Taylor Swift’s success and all new wholesome-rising sensations (until they turn). It’s refreshing in a world of hedonism and the inescapable sexual inundation present.

Though it’s been said many times before, I think Taylor Swift is the real deal. The very fact that her innocent songs were mostly, if not entirely, written by her, reveals the true princess heart and mentality of the singer. She places value on morality and purity. She exudes beauty from the inside out, reminding girls and women of all ages that you can be hopeful and “fearless”, beautiful and tender.

I’m so glad I had the opportunity, and night off, to see her concert. Thus far, my favorite concerts have been Tom Petty 2007, Lifehouse 2008 and this one.

Possibly due to her inexperience of stage performing, or just adolescent awkwardness; her body movements were uncomfortable head throws and embarrassing frolics. Unfortunately, allowing her band members to out stage her quite often. This can, and probably will, be easily finessed.

The video clips in between songs, while funny, lost some of the energy of the show. Not to mention the two times she stopped to walk through the crowds and sign autographs or hug fans. While endearing, it left the rest of the thousands to watch the screen and listen to her band continuously play melody.

She sat often during the first few numbers, with the first few songs sounding strained and a little squeaky.

But it was her lyrics and personality that left an indelible impression. She was very comfortable with showing her sincere gratitude for her fans and being frank about song inspirations and personal stories.

With that said; this I can guarantee, if you get to see a concert with Taylor Swift then that’s what you’ll get. Nothing fake, nothing staged, nothing practiced, just plain, in-the-moment genuine Taylor. Knowing this makes you second guess if she should, in fact, smooth her jarring body movements or perfect her stage presence; in fear of losing/compromising the bigger treasure of who she is, awkwardness and all.
