I went to Taylor Swift Red Tour last night in Sydney and it was so good. It was the best thing. Worth the money easily.

She did two songs to begin, then she started talking and I don't know why, but it was something to do with the fact that she was really there, like 100m away, and that I was sharing this in-person, physical event with Taylor Swift, made me cry. It just felt surreal.

I understand celebrity culture, the way people look at these people and relate to them, and are curious about every detail of their lives. I don't think it's ok, maybe, but I'll admit there isn't much I don't know/ haven't seen of Taylor Swift, if it's on the internet. Because the material she writes is so close to my heart, and because I've made all my own associations with it, and it's been the most prominent soundtrack of my life thus far, I think it makes sense that I got emotional hearing it live, in a dark stadium, with 40000 other people who also love her.

It was a good concert. She was confident and she really made me like some of the songs that I didn't know that well.

One thing though, you know who, stupid fucker that he is, had to message me 'Luuucccccyyyy :) Movies?' right before the concert started. Way to confuse me before a TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT where every song is about complicated and passionate love. That boy gets in my head like nothing else.

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way, and the story's got dust on every page.
But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now, and I see your face in every crowd...
Cos darlin', it was good. Never looking down. And right there were we stood... is holy ground.
