Taylor Swift: A Little Girl's Dream

In lieu of a birthday party involving 8 girls and a sleepover, we thought we'd make some memories on a special girls trip to Taylor Swift and American Girl. When the news was delivered, Jackie and Leigh were uber-excited. They started the countdown until Taylor Swift!

 The girls wore matching outfits. They curled their hair and put on make-up.
Then we cheered with a little juice and it was off to dinner and a concert.
 How cool is this!?!
 Since we got tickets last minute, we had nose-bleed seats, which meant the girls alternated between binoculars and plugging their ears, b/c these concerts are LOUD.
 The concert started at 7p, but there were a few opening bands. Taylor finally came on at 8:45p and the girls were ready to jump out of their skin with excitement.
 It was an incredible show. Taylor had 7 outfit changes and all were kid-friendly, as was her music and dance moves.
 She played the piano, guitar, banjo and eukele.
 And Taylor played from the center of the main floor on a rotating, sparking tree. On her way to and from the center floor, she hugged every girl and shook hands with every fan.
 Despite the fireworks and thunderous beat you could feel in your chest, Leigh fell asleep in her mama's arms. And yes, Julie did have a costume malfunction with her sleeve.
 There were so many princess sets, it was like a Disney performance. By 10p, Jackie was tired and begged to go home. So we missed the last 2 songs and encores. Julie and I loved the show and would join the 14,500 girls for another sold out Taylor Swift show any day!
 Check out our little Taylor Swift fans!
 Off to the American Girl Store!
