Good concert review from Edmonton
Quote:
EDMONTON - As smart, musically gifted, and beautiful as she is, Taylor Swift always makes her fans feel even more so.
Every time she rolls into Rexall Place with her musicians, dancers, props, costumes and dozens of trucks, the 25-year-old superstar plays the perfect hostess — repeatedly thanking her crowds and looking like she’s having more fun than any other time in her charmed life.
As her fame grows — she’s now at Gaga-multiplied-by-Bieber levels — and Swift continues to surround herself with a Girl Squad of singers, Hollywood actors, and top models, will she start to lose touch with this gift?
Uh uh. Swift was her usual warm and welcoming self on Tuesday night, the first of two sold-out shows at Rexall Place. In between songs and special effects, she thanked fans for buying her records, for coming to her gigs, for treating her like a friend, for cheering at unexpected moments.
“We always make a point to come and play in Edmonton,” T-Swizzle said after her first four tunes — Welcome To New York, New Romantics, Blank Space and I Knew You Were Trouble.
“You are the absolute epitome of a crazy, mind-blowing, unforgettable crowd. We needed to come and look you in the eye and thank you for being so passionate about music.”
When she wasn’t gushing about her fans — 14,000 girls, women, moms, and a few dads — she was offering them heart-to-heart talks about love, self-doubt, and making mistakes. “The way that you treat me when I’m here or when I’m online, you treat me like I’m one of your friends,” she said, her voice quivering with emotion.
Aww, Swift could easily spend the rest of her career on the lecture circuit, if she wanted. Thankfully, she still loves to sing — and her voice seems to be getting stronger and more soulful with every tour, as she demonstrated on two of her old country tunes, Fifteen and Love Story.
