That was honestly, hands down, the best night of my life. I can't believe I saw The Lord in real life. She sounded perfect. A little higher than I'd thought it'd be, but that was probably because I was up so high. I walked in just before the curtain dropped. It was ridiculous. She literally shut down the streets of the city. A 45 minute trip took like 2:45 hours. The traffic was a mess, and there was so many signs saying "concert at Moore park, be prepared for delays". It was insane. But I RAN to the stadium and I like scanned my ticket, and ran up the stairs, and the sight of the stadium all lit up, literally took my breath away  I honestly did not expect that many people. I was SO proud of her. I still can't function properly. I sat next to these group of girls who I'm pretty sure were off their face  . But honestly she has such a diverse fanbase. I saw every single age group there. But like I said the traffic was so bad. My friend got in the gate at 22 and there was an area of empty chairs at the beginning of the concert, but they filled all up during it. I felt so sorry for the people who missed over half the show she was so cute, before mean, I think, she was like "I've always wanted to try this. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE" and the whole crowd was like "OI OI OI"  . And during Begin Again, holy **** I was speechless, when all those lights lit up in the stadium. Honestly, she really ruled Sydney tonight, we've been in the same spot for over an hour because the traffic from the concert is so bad. My legs are so sore, my throat is so bad, I have no voice, I'm so thirsty, but it was the best night of my life. She was so beautiful. The atmosphere tonight was something I'm so happy I got to experience, the energy in the stadium was out of this world. I know I'm leaving stuff out but she made me so happy tonight, and I love her more than anything after tonight
EDIT; oh and while she was talking on the piano before all too well, it started sprinkling really lightly, and there was like a slight breeze through the stadium and it was perfect |

Review: Taylor Swift is the real deal - just hold off on the speeches, please
Reviewer rating:
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
December 4, Allianz Stadium, Moore Park
To fill a stadium, a proper pop superstar needs more than merely 40,000 die-hard fans. He or she also needs to have an appealing personality, a heap of irresistible anthems and enough slick visuals to make those who have come to see them feel like they've got their money's worth (not to mention to keep them engaged while they wait for them during costume changes and the like). A bit of genuine musical talent doesn't hurt, either.
American phenomenon Taylor Swift, 24 next week yet already a seven-year music-industry veteran, displays all of these qualities during her tour for current album Red – including the talent – yet weighs down what could have been a perfect stadium pop show by stretching barely an album’s worth of material (most of Red, including some of its weaker tunes, plus a handful of oldies) over nearly two hours.
For seemingly every other opportunity Swift takes to display her redoubtable skills on banjo (Mean), piano (All Too Well) or even just with melody (We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together) she seems to have a long speech to make on the hardships of love and how she pours her wealth of experience into her songwriting. Did we mention she’s 23?
Of course, to her fans, many of whom got to stay up way past their bedtimes with their long-suffering parents to see this show, Swift is a fountain of knowledge. And, more importantly, she does connect with just about all 40,000 of them, be it via sweetly handing her trilby to a disbelieving fan in the front row or performing a mini-set on a stage at the back for the fans in the (still not that) cheap seats.
She has seamlessly made the transition from country sweetheart to teen-pop titan and it’s hard to argue with the inventive, dubstep-infused I Knew You Were Trouble or the rousing You Belong with Me, which shows off her strong voice as well her guitar playing.
Yet for all her abilities and well-studied stadium techniques, there remain, tellingly, a few things for her to learn. Next time Swift could really cause some trouble.

I was looking at Tom Daley's IG and besides being surprised that there are so few pictures in which he looks both cute in the face and good in the body, I was struck by this:
One *could* make the obvious-in-the-gay-fan/hatedom joke about how surprising it is that she didn't get the chance to date him before he met his bf...

If its not gonna be "ATW" i hope they air "Begin Again" @ the Grammy nominations. Pure, raw singer-songwriter performance with the beauty of stadium being lit up. Also it would pretty much confirm it got nominated in country categories. One can dream...

Ellie said: "Me and Taylor [Swift] are similar in that we write about relationships, and we joke about that. We text and sometimes I only have to say one thing, and even if it’s cryptic she gets it. She’s an inspiration to me because she reinstated how honest you can be about a boy in your music.
"I thought maybe I should stop being so explicit at one point, then I slapped myself out of that: I’m always going to write about people.”

The Lord being an inspiration to other amazing artists.

I bought the vinyl lp version of Red and the background vocals in Starlight sound amazing. There are really quiet in the normal mp3 version. I'm talking about the ooh-hoo-hoos towards the end.
