The Five Stages Of Fangirls Going To Concerts

Summer is finally here. With the warm weather, longer nights and stress-free vibes, music lovers everywhere rejoice at the mere thought of attending a concert. While you're at one of these concerts, it may be difficult to ignore the signs of the classic "fangirl"—the one who is over-the-top in love with the artist and probably screams a lot. Let's dive into the fascinating specimen that is a "fangirl," in her five most common stages.

1. Discovering the tour announcement.

As soon as she hears the word "tour" and her favorite artist's name in the same sentence, she turns around so quickly, that it would snap a regular person's neck.

She scans through the list of dates and then stops at the one closest her residence. Maybe, the closest performance is three hours away, but that shouldn't stop her. Then she memorizes the on-sale time and date of the tickets, you know, as one does.

2. Getting tickets.

Pretty much the most stressful thing known to man, in her opinion, anyway. She's online five minutes (maybe even longer) before the tickets are first released. Once that clock hits the on-sale time, it's off to the races. She types in all of her info as fast as her little fingers can go, praying to the concert gods that she gets seats at all.

3. The countdown.

Once she finally gets her seats and calms down, the countdown to concert day official begins. First, she cancels all previous plans on said show date. Whether it be weeks, months or even a year away, that just gives her more time to find the perfect outfit (because it DOES have to be perfect), memorize the tour set list and save a lot more money so she can stock up on merchandise at the show. Although, with all this to do, it's still pretty hard to wait.

4. The day of the show.

This is it. TODAY IS THE DAY. Not even those fake fans in the audience, who only know the artist's hit songs (and may unfortunately have better seats than her) can put a damper on this day for her. When the artist finally hits the stage, all she can think is, OH MY GOD, THEY'RE REAL PEOPLE! Tears may ensue. She's seen them in pictures, videos and knows everything about them. Now, they're RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER FACE. No matter where she's sitting in the stadium, she can PHYSICALLY SEE THEM. So, for the entire 90 minutes to two hours, her reaction is basically this:

5. PCD: Post Concert Depression.

It's a very, VERY real thing. As soon as she walks out of the venue, she calls and/or texts her friends. She can't really talk, because of the shock and all, but she says something along the lines of:

While she could cry out in desperation her need to relive that night over and over again, all she can do is smile when she thinks back on how awesome it was.

The only way to get over the PCD is for her to repeat the cycle again and buy tickets to her next concert.

Let's eat our hearts out, fellow fangirls.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
