I've always been partial to car rides. I love riding with the windows down and the music blaring and sightseeing along the way. Needless to say, my love for car rides means I haven't spent much time in planes. After flying for the first time, I had some thoughts and feelings that are likely common for anyone trying to navigate their first flight.

1. Do I have everything with me?

2. I hope my luggage doesn't weigh too much.

3. How much will it cost if it's overweight? *checks online* That is TOO much money.

4. I wonder how many layers of clothes I can wear before people will start judging me.

5. Okay, check in went well, now onto security.

6. What if they find something in my bag?

7. There's nothing in my bag.

8. But what if there is?

9. There shouldn't be anything.

10. Act cool, act cool act cool.

11. Why do I have to take off my shoes for security?

12. This is gross. I hate walking around in my socks.

13. Do my feet smell?

14. Can everyone else smell my feet?

15. Okay, metal detector time.

16. Don't beep. Don't beep. Don't beep.

17. Phew, that was easy.

18. Where's my stuff?

19. Found it.

20. Shoes back on.

21. Oh, my god, there are people behind me I'm holding up a line.

22. Don't fall trying to put your shoes on it's okay.

23. Okay, that was more stressful than it needed to be.

24. Now, where's my gate?

25. Gate?

26. Wait, shopping!

27. Of course, I need to buy a magazine before my flight, what else will I read on the plane?

28. And I need gummy worms. Just in case.

29. Five dollars for water? I'd rather dehydrate.

30. Just kidding I'm going to buy it anyways.

31. Wait, is that my flight boarding?

32. Yes, it is.

33. Where's my gate?

34. Okay, do I have everything?

35. Ticket? Passport? Wallet?

36. I found my gate!

37. Now I just need to board.

38. Why do we board so soon?

39. Is that really how small my seat is?

40. There is no space in this overhead compartment.

41. Who am I sitting next to?

42. Okay, they seem normal.

43. Hopefully.

44. This seat is not comfortable.

45. *Baby cries* Oh, no.

46. Okay, ready for take off.

47. How often do those oxygen things actually come down though?

48. But what if this plane crashes?

49. Planes taking off feel like rollercoasters.

50. Okay, but why is this plane so loud?

51. Maybe if I play some music I can get some sleep.

52. How does this seat go back?

53. Oh god I have no idea.

54. Maybe I can sleep sitting upright.

55. *Tries sleeping* Or maybe not.

56. I've never realized how important legroom is until I now.

57. These seats are not comfortable.

58. Okay, just try sleeping again.

59. *Baby cries* Maybe not.

60. How much longer until we land?

61. Oh, wait, we're landing so soon?

62. Time to refasten my seat belt!

63. Darn, now I have to pee.

64. It's fine I can wait.

65. This decent is really making my ears pop.

66. Ouch, you call that a landing?

67. Taking off is better than landing.

68. Okay, now I can stand. Where's my luggage?

69. Why can no one make their way toward the exit? Let's move people!

70. Okay, leaving the plane now.

71. That wasn't too bad.

72. I'd still rather not do it again.

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. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
