香蕉视频直播業 DON香蕉视频直播橳 KNOW THAT I香蕉视频直播橵E EVER BELONGED THAT HARD香蕉视频直播

Before she was a friendship-bracelet-making, glitter-wielding Swiftie, Maya Klein was a Deadhead.

Klein, from Castle Rock, Colo., is still a fan of the rock group The Grateful Dead, but was slowly converted into a Taylor Swift fan by The Eras Tour.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 a classic rocker and we香蕉视频直播檙e all kind of snobs about our music,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淚 just thought 香蕉视频直播榯his girl is beautiful, so they give her hits to sell香蕉视频直播 and I could not have been more wrong.香蕉视频直播

She now deems Swift 香蕉视频直播渢he best songwriter in history.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 looking at you, Sir Paul McCartney, and I香蕉视频直播檓 looking at you, Mr. Bob Dylan and all the classic rockers can fight me over this, because if they don香蕉视频直播檛 agree with me, they just haven香蕉视频直播檛 listened,香蕉视频直播 she said.

香蕉视频直播淭his woman is gifted in the extreme, and so that香蕉视频直播檚 why it feels OK, at 52, that I香蕉视频直播檝e made 470 bracelets like a psychopath.香蕉视频直播

Klein has tickets to Saturday香蕉视频直播檚 show in Vancouver, having seen the Milan show in the summer.

香蕉视频直播淚t was the most fantastic show I think I香蕉视频直播檝e ever seen, and not even necessarily because of my view,香蕉视频直播 she said, noting she was in the 香蕉视频直播渘osebleeds.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播淚t was 100 per cent the Swifties. I don香蕉视频直播檛 know that I香蕉视频直播檝e ever belonged that hard anywhere before.香蕉视频直播

Klein is bringing a copy of Swift香蕉视频直播檚 Eras Tour book to Vancouver to treat like a yearbook.

香蕉视频直播淚 am taking this thing with some silver Sharpies and some glitter markers, and I香蕉视频直播檓 gonna beg Swifties to please find your song, sign it,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淭his thing is gonna be the most amazing concert memento.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播業 SPENT HALF THE SHOW IN THE BATHROOM香蕉视频直播

Kayla Zimmerer from Fresno, Calif., hopes it香蕉视频直播檚 third time lucky in Vancouver.

A self-described 香蕉视频直播渆lder Swiftie,香蕉视频直播 who香蕉视频直播檚 been a fan since Swift香蕉视频直播檚 2006 debut album, Zimmerer has already attended two Eras Tour shows last year, in Las Vegas and Seattle.

In Vegas in March, Zimmerer was in a VIP box 香蕉视频直播 but she forgot her glasses. She says she is 香蕉视频直播渂lind as a bat香蕉视频直播 without them.

香蕉视频直播淥ne of our friends that was there in the box 香蕉视频直播 we shared glasses for half the show. So, even though I had gone, I still felt like I hadn香蕉视频直播檛 really seen it and experienced the show.香蕉视频直播

Then came the Seattle show in July, by which time Zimmerer was five months pregnant.

香蕉视频直播淚 spent half the show in the bathroom, (and was) sitting down for most of the show,香蕉视频直播 she said.

香蕉视频直播淚f you香蕉视频直播檙e sitting on the floor, you can香蕉视频直播檛 see the screens and I barely got through standing for one full song 香蕉视频直播 which was 香蕉视频直播楲ong Live,香蕉视频直播 which I will hold on to 香蕉视频直播 but it was really, really sad.香蕉视频直播

When the Vancouver dates were added late to the tour, it became a chance to finally get the full Eras Tour experience.

Zimmerer and her husband scored resale tickets for Saturday night, while a friend who is joining them in Vancouver bought a solo ticket for Sunday. Zimmerer is still hoping to find a last-minute ticket to join her friend for that show, too.

13 CHOCOLATE BARS? 香蕉视频直播業T香蕉视频直播橲 A SIGN香蕉视频直播

Calgary resident Heather Roy had almost given up hope on attending The Eras Tour, missing out in every ticket lottery and competition she tried.

Then her 12-year-old daughter, Harper, went trick-or-treating on Halloween. In her bag at the end of the night were 13 full-sized chocolate bars. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 an Easter egg from Taylor,香蕉视频直播 Harper declared. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a sign we香蕉视频直播檙e going to get tickets.香蕉视频直播

Thirteen is Swift香蕉视频直播檚 favourite number. She wrote the number on the back of her hand before each show of her 2009-2010 Fearless tour.

The next day, Nov. 1, Roy says she got a call from a dentist香蕉视频直播檚 office that had been running a promotional contest. The Roys had won two tickets to Saturday香蕉视频直播檚 show in Vancouver.

Swift香蕉视频直播檚 music provides an ongoing link to Roy香蕉视频直播檚 first-born daughter, Evelyn, also a fan, who died of cancer in 2020.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 just this connecting point through Taylor to good memories in dark spaces and just brought us so much joy,香蕉视频直播 Roy says.

香蕉视频直播業T STARTED OUT WITH JUST MAKING BRACELETS香蕉视频直播

Becky Mercereau is a driving force of Taylor Swift fandom in an unlikely location 香蕉视频直播 Hudson香蕉视频直播檚 Hope, the tiny B.C. Interior community best known as one of the oldest European settlements in the province.

She and her 14-year-old daughter secured tickets for Saturday香蕉视频直播檚 show through a friend of a friend who let Mercereau use her Ticketmaster account. 香蕉视频直播淲e were successful, but it was a bit of a nail-biter,香蕉视频直播 she says.

That was more than a year ago. To keep up the excitement, Mercereau helped form a group of local Swifties who would meet monthly. 香蕉视频直播淚t started out with just making bracelets,香蕉视频直播 she says.

Then it grew. Now, they get together for Swift-themed barbecues, brunches, listening parties, and Kansas City Chiefs football games 香蕉视频直播 Swift香蕉视频直播檚 boyfriend Travis Kelce is a player and Swift is a regular at Chiefs games.

The group from Hudson香蕉视频直播檚 Hope and nearby communities has about eight regulars but the biggest turnout was 17. 香蕉视频直播淎 cool thing about our group is that it spans six decades,香蕉视频直播 she says of the attendees香蕉视频直播 ages.

She says that after the concert, she and her daughter plan to meet with the group to share their experience, and exchange gifts. They also hope to keep the meetings going.

香蕉视频直播淲e did say we should continue, probably not every month, but we香蕉视频直播檇 love to still get together and do some fun things together,香蕉视频直播 she says.
