11. Assume the staff can predict the future.

"So I'm looking to make a reservation for a month from today, but do you know if it's going to be rainy that day?" I'm a hostess, not a meteorologist. Try Google.

13. Sit down with a party of 15 and ask for 15 separate checks.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city.
