That Night was Sparkling

It's been almost a month since the Taylor Swift live in Manila event and it's just now that I've thought of writing something about that wonderful experience I've had. FAIL! But... it's better late than never right? :P So here's my brief story about that wonderful event...

I really thought I won't be able to watch her since just a few weeks after the release of tickets, the next thing I know is that those were already SOLD-OUT! I was going crazy thinking where I'd find a pass but there seemed to be nothing left for me that I even came to the point when I had no other choice but accept that I couldn't go. I was sad. Oh how sad I've felt at those times. Luckily, I've met someone who was actually looking for someone who'd buy her excess ticket. I grabbed it! And I was like OMG! OMG! Haha. I was so happy. I've been waiting for her to have a show in the Philippines for quite a long time. Then the most awaited event came...

TSPH people with Taylor Swift's web guy, "Mr. Jordan Connect".
Let's just pretend that "CONNECT" is his last name.

Last February 19, the Taylor Swift Philippines' officers as well as the members gathered at the General Admission entrance wearing the free I love Taylor Swift shirt from Candie's, along with the other fans who were also in line waiting to get inside. There we also get to meet Taylor Swift's web guy, Jordan who was then touring around the venue with some of the foreign concert crew.

After doing a lot of waiting and falling in line, we were in at around 6 in the evening. Forget about the other things that happened and the expensive foods being sold inside the Araneta Coliseum and let's just continue the story with where Sam Concepcion did the front act, performing hit songs such as Katy Perry's single, Firework. Around thirty minutes later, Taylor Swift finally showed up singing Sparks Fly in her glamorous dress. The stage lights were awesome. Taylor is so gorgeous. I was stunned.

We were wearing these shirts all-throughout the concert with
number "13" written at the back of our hands.

The crowd went wilder when she spoke in Tagalog words like, "Magandang gabi (Manila)", "Kamusta kayo", "Salamat" and "Mahal ko kayo" which were quite endearing. During the concert, she showed her skills on playing music instruments like, the guitar, piano and ukelele paired with her own sweet voice and an astounding production. There were several moments on the show when I just can't stop the tears falling from my eyes... especially when she was singing Enchanted... 'Cause I was enchanted to see her and I wished she knew it. Ah! You should've seen my friends beside me crying, too. I bet we all felt the same. It was crazy. Oh, how we adore Taylor Swift so much.

Everyone was singing along with her all-through, that it almost seemed like a big karaoke party. Taylor was surprised on how enthusiastic her fans were. It was such a wonderful experience. There was never a dull moment. Aside from seeing one of the best-selling international artist giving her all for the sake of an extraordinary performance, you might also get astonished seeing her like a real-life Barbie doll ruling the stage. That show was amazing! Her band did a great job, too. They were all awesome.

Wasn't it enchanted huh? That night was really sparkling.

I'm happy for my friends who had the chance to see her and hug her and talk to her. I didn't get to meet and greet her unlike them, but I'm still happy I'd get to watch it. It was unforgettable — the frenzied screams, the singing voices, and the look on Taylor Swift's face. Everything felt surreal. Ah! I hope, she'd come back to the Philippines for another concert. That would be great! :)
