Many months ago, Nana said that she wanted to go to the TS concert with her friends. I said ok and agreed to bear 50% of the ticket cost, provided that she is able to get the tickets. I heard how difficult it was but she got her ticket! It was a physical purchase at duno where and I heard that the physical purchase was actually easier (and higher success rate) than online purchase. I supposed so too in this tech era, where everybody is comfortable with online purchases and the overseas Swifties were fighting for the online tickets too.
Since then, we occasionally talked about the concert. It seems like an event that is so far away. Then in a wink, it happened! Just last week, Nana was bugging me to buy her swifties bracelets online but it was too little time for delivery. I have no idea what those are or purpose.
On Friday, she rushed off to her friend’s house to make more bracelets. Her excitement rubbed off me as she talked about the bracelets, outfit and pre-concert prep. I was educated that the Swifties exchange these bracelets, signifying friendships. I thought that is such a nice hype to the concert.
Nana was busying preparing on Saturday morning and planned to meet her friend at 12pm. Her pink and white outfit was aligned to the “Lover” theme.
She was busy looking for pink accessories at home. We have so little bcos she was just in that phase recently about hating anything pink. I suggested sticking pink post-it. So idea. Lol. She almost wanted to wear her glasses that ta-match with her outfit. I had to stop her. She said that she is worried that she can’t see TS properly with her contacts. Ehhh.. with the ticket that she bought, I am quite sure she would be very far away from the stage and wouldn’t be able to see even with her glasses. Plus, there must be big screens, right?
This was what eventually she had.
We sent her to the mrt station at 12pm and I didn’t see her until more than 12 hours later.
There must be a lot of fun bcos she almost didnt at all reply to my texts. She only sent me a picture.
And a video of her and her friend in Kallang Wave Mall NTUC, make-up all done and hiding from the heat.
Nana said that the door opened at 4pm and the concert only started at 6pm. There was a burger joint in the stadium but she didn’t buy anything, opting to steal some of her friend’s fries. I know that food and drink cannot be brought into the stadium and cleverly packed her snacks and mineral water in a plastic bag, asking her to eat those while queuing and conveniently throw
them away before entering the stadium.
In the past, Popo would have waited up for her if she comes back late. I have now resumed the role, which was mine to begin with. She texted at 10.30pm that the concert has ended. I had imagined that it would take her a long time to come home, having to fight MRT with thousands of other Swifties. Instead of heading home, they had decided to go to Serangoon Mac for supper. Don’t ask me why Serangoon.
They hopped onto the train again at 12mm and ended up stranded at Caldecott bcos the trains had ceased operations. So they ended up taking a grab and her friend came for a sleepover, which I thought was a safer option than the originally plan of her walking home alone from BP MRT station, assuming that the LRT would have ended.
I had dozed off while waiting. Not fun. She made it home at probably close to 1am. I duno actually. I saw them home and staggered off to bed.
Of course the 2 girls slept in. I only saw them when I brought lunch back. They raved about how great the night was and were trying to recover from the post concert blues by watching and listening to more TS songs and videos. So funny,
Their Swifties bracelets didn’t go to waste. They had so much fun exchanging with other Swifties.
I have only these few pictures to post bcos Nana only took videos. I can see them having so much fun, singing, shouting and dancing with thousands others. I am glad that she had enjoyed her 1st ever concert… unless we count the Barney show that we brought her when she was 2? Hoho.
