OH. MY. GOD.
Last night was the greatest night of my entire life, without a doubt. I can't believe how good she was.
I spent $170 on merchandise, but I got everything, including the lithograph (which someone sitting near me ended up getting a small rip in the middle of it, which made me so mad). I was so nervous waiting for her to come out. We got there by like, 6:00 and were escorted inside for presale immediately, so we barely had to wait at all.
We waited until about 8:30 when she came out. I was waiting and like, internally freaking out, and then all of a sudden, everything just happened very suddenly... Like, I heard her voice say, "Hello," and then the whole arena went dark and my body went numb! I couldn't even react... I had tears welled up in my eyes and my hand just went over my mouth the minute she came out. It was
incredible.
Surprisingly, I managed to keep my composure almost the whole time! I was choked up during "Hello," I got a little misty-eyed during "Make You Feel My Love," I was like, stifling back sobs during "Someone Like You," and then "When We Were Young" made me cry like a baby.

I really lucked out because every concert I've ever been to (except for Idina Menzel because the venue doesn't serve drinks), I've been stuck sitting next to a bunch of obnoxious drunks, and this time, I didn't have any of those people!
Her vocals were INCREDIBLE. I'm really happy because my sister filmed a lot of the concert for me, and I was able to just enjoy it. I snapped a few pictures during "Make You Feel My Love" because I already had my phone out, but that was really it. It just felt like such a blur, though. Like... I can't even believe it's already over.
But it was amazing. It was the best night of my entire life and I can't believe how blessed I am that I got to breathe the same air as her and stand in the same room as her while she sang the songs that have changed my life. It was an incredible experience.
Also, I can't even tell you how phenomenal "Rolling in the Deep" was live!
