Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I've uploaded a blog post and I just wanted to post a little something to show everyone that I'm still alive!

On June 24th 2015 after a whole school day of exams I ran out of school to the car which was parked around 1/4 of a mile away where my Mum was picking me up so I could get the train from the city centre around 3 miles away. School finished at 3:10 and the train was leaving at 3:38. Risky I know. There was no time for error, I was scared about traffic and anything that could possibly stop us from getting to the station on time but that was what made it even more exciting, The risk factor. I quickly got changed in the car trying to hide so nobody could see me from the outside and panicked.
"Mum! Where are my shoes?" I practically shouted.
"They're in the boot, I'm not having glitter all over my car." I breathed a sigh of relief, hopefully nothing was going to go wrong, this was a day I'd planned for ages.
The only thing that had gone wrong so far was my Sister saying that she had ordered a tutu for me but two days before the concert she told me that she may have accidentally forgot to click 'buy'. I made her go into town to buy one from the only costume shop in the city which was £6.01 more expensive than if she had ordered it but whatever, Taylor Swift is totally worth it.

The train arrived on time and my sister and I stepped on going to find our reserved seats that somebody was sitting in... The volunteered to move which made me feel a lot calmer as I didn't want to make a fuss.
And that's where the fun began. We had 3 hours on the train and not much to do.
After doing me make up I realised that I needed to write lyrics on my own- The traditional Taylor Swift thing to do and without a picture I had to trust my sister to do it properly. She didn't. And there was no hot water on the train to get it off so I have to make do with cold water and soap which didn't work very well but it didn't really matter because we had planned to get some food from McDonald's before we went to the concert and I was sure that they would have hot water in the toilets.

The train came to a halt earlier than I had thought so I had to cram everything into my bag and run off. Then we had a problem. From a small city that I lived in to Manchester with crowds. We got lost... More than once.

We finally found the shopping centre with the McDonald's in and straight away we went to the toilets to try and get the lyrics off my arms which worked (yay!) and then went to stand in the queue for McDonald's where my sister tried to put the lyrics back onto my arms after showing her a photo which allowed her do it properly this time.

Walking out briskly with my 3 chicken selects I gasped, looked at my sister and said "Where is my wristband?" This was a big deal, when you plan something for ages you don't want anything to go wrong you start to panic when something that doesn't really matter happens.
"I think it's in the toilets" I said, so back we went.
Usually my sister would have just told me to get on with it and stop being so stupid because it's only a wristband but she knew how much this day meant to me so we went back to the toilets were cleaning signs and a barrier had been set up to stop people going past a certain point. I went through anyway. No wristband in sight so I came to the conclusion that someone else who was going to the concert must have taken it so we walked out. As we were walking out we came across a trolley with cleaning things on and I thought that the cleaner may have packed it up but it wasn't on there either. As I was looking on the trolley a women with a cleaning uniform came out of a room and I asked her if she had picked it up.
"Yes!" She said which was like music to my ears.
"It was left in the sink so I picked it up" She said as she went back into the room and picked it up from a shelf.

Wristband back on my wrist we made our way (again) to the concert venue- Manchester Arena. After getting lost many time and trying to follow other people who it turns out weren't going to the same place as us so we looked at a map and a guide who was hanging around must have seen us looking confused and pointed us in the right direction of the Arena.

We finally found the Arena and after standing in the queue for a little while we were let in. It was hectic in the Arena but luckily I knew which merch I wanted and went to the merch stand in the entrance who were selling the tour books. I bought a book and straight away we went to the proper merch stand. We waited in the queue for around 15 minutes and finally my turn was there. I asked for what I wanted and was greeted with "Sorry we don't have it in that size but if you go to the stand down there they might have it in your size".

I sighed. My sister and I walked to the next stand where I couldn't be bothered to stand for ages so I kept trying to push my way through as soon as somebody came out and I was only there for around 5 minutes and I got the top I wanted while my sister went to get some drinks for us.

We arrived at where we were supposed to be sitting and put on the light up wristbands, took a few selfies and waited for the show to begin.

Vance Joy Started to show off with his songs, warming the crowd up for Taylor Swift. After playing his last song the crowd got excited and then the real show began!
