An Inside Look At Taylor Swift's Invite Only Superbowl Pre-Show

As far as I'm concerned, there was no better way to kick off Superbowl Sunday than with a T. Swift show.

As difficult as it is to find a ticket to the Super Bowl. Finding a ticket to the Saturday night pre-show would be as equally challenging. ATT sponsored the Super Saturday night show featuring Taylor Swift. The invite-only event was the Pre-Superbowl Party, which many wanted to attend.

Unlike the shows leading up to Saturday, general admission tickets were not for sale. The individuals who attended were either invited by ATT, Taylor Nation or were VIP guests. Simone Biles, Chrissy Teigen, Lea Michele and Tim Tebow were a few of the VIPs at the show. Having been invited, I received the great privilege of seeing Taylor perform at the exclusive show.

A girl from Texas who had won Swiftstakes tickets invited me to be her plus one. It just so happened, that my friend from Florida also received an invitation. So like any sensible fans, we got in the car and drove 15 hours to Houston to see Taylor perform. We were exhausted by the time we arrived. With a little coffee and lots of anticipation, we made it to Saturday night.

While waiting in line, I gathered that aside from the VIPs, many of the people at the venue were not in town for the Super Bowl, but primarily for the Taylor Swift show. Individuals from across the nation came to watch Taylor take the stage at Club Nomadic. The doors opened at 9 pm and Taylor took the stage at 11:30 pm. You could feel the energy in the room when Taylor walked onto the stage. It was electric.

Taylor gave phenomenal performances of songs from 1989, Red, Speak Now and Fearless. Swift also performed an acoustic version of her new single “I Don't Want to Live Forever.” With Zayn absent, she asked her fans to duet with her. Even though there wasn't a surprise guest appearance, there were a few surprise songs. She performed "This is What You Came For" and "Better Man" both songs she has written for other artists during her "break." Whenever I listened to "Better Man" I could always hear Taylor singing it in my head. Getting to see her perform the song live was one of the many highlights from this weekend. The glittering grand piano made an appearance also. When the keys were rolled out the crowd began chanting “All Too Well” like they had previously done at Taylor's Grand Prix show which took place in Austin, TX in 2016. While she didn't perform "All Too Well" at the Austin show, she heard their plea. Taylor is so in tune with her fans. She listens to them. She played "All Too Well" for the overwhelmed crowd in Houston. Of course, Taylor ended the show with her hit "Shake it Off."

Shaking it off was not all Taylor did. Every time Taylor takes the stage she makes an effort to connect with her fans on a personal level. Whether it's a crowd of 9,000 or 60,000, Taylor finds a way. I think this is what makes her fans so drawn to her. I'm convinced it's what makes her fans travel hours and hours to see her perform. I know it to be true for me. She takes interest in them. Saturday night, she joked with a few fans who asked for her sweat towel. She sat on the side of the stage and signed a few autographs; She also asked fans to help her fix the buttons of her Versace outfit. She deeply cares for her fans. Her genuine effort to make her fans happy is truly astounding. By liking their photos on Tumblr, having conversations with them at the show, or simply making eye contact with them while she is on stage, she makes their world a little brighter.

During the show, she let the attendees in on her plans for the future. As far as she knows the Super Saturday Night will be her only show in 2017. As far as new music, we are going to have to wait and see. Taylor did not drop any hints that she would be releasing an album in the near future.

As far as I'm concerned, there was no better way to kick off Superbowl Sunday than with a T. Swift show. I am extremely grateful that I got to be one of the many standing in the crowd. The show was amazing. Taylor was phenomenal, as always. She looked so happy on stage. You can't watch her and think that she was not born to perform. She's a real gem in life and in entertainment.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
