My twin daughters are huge Swifties

The Swiftie Era started in our house when our then 11 - year - old twin girls came home from two weeks at sleepaway camp last summer , confirmed Taylor Swift fans . But it really tipped over into a frenzy when they heard one of their friend 's parents had bought tickets as a birthday present to see the Eras Tour in Liverpool this June.

Growing up , I was fortunate to have everything I needed , but we could n't afford everything I wanted . I remembered things I had wanted ferociously as a child that would have seemed inconsequential to my parents . Like an expensive navy blazer with gold buttons that my tween brain thought would make me feel popular in the 8th grade . I cried , I begged , but my father said no . I also remembered when a parent made a wish come true . I was obsessed with horses and my mother got me riding lessons at a local stable where I eventually worked.

My girls were in their element

In the run - up to the concert , our apartment turned into a bead bracelet factory , and we were dress shopping up until the day before our flight . But the moment we stepped off the train in Cardiff amid a throng of other Swifties pulling their rollie bags to various city center hotels , the girls simply shone . They were in their element , surrounded by their fellow fans , who were decked out in spangles , sequins , and cowboy boots.

For the next three and a half hours , they sang every song and waved their arms . The girls got the royal treatment from fellow fans who came over to trade bracelets and coo over their outfits . When the girls learned that the Cardiff local sitting next to me did n't know the bracelets were a thing , they insisted on giving her four or five of their own , slipping them onto her bare wrist . And then it was over , but we saw Taylor walk from behind the stage and give a special wave . One twin turned to me and said , " This is the greatest night of my life , " while the other more darkly said , " We have nothing left to live for . " As for me , I have never had more fun at a concert.

In conclusion , the once - in - a - lifetime experience of attending Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour concert in Wales not only brought immense joy to the author 's twin daughters but also created lasting memories for the entire family . This unexpected decision to prioritize the concert over a traditional summer vacation turned out to be the best choice , providing a unique and unforgettable experience that will be cherished for years to come.
