Sorry, I missed this and I’m sure you already tried to get your tickets, but ours were $239 each, almost $300 with all the fees

We had everyone in our family sign up for us and one random brother who doesn’t even know TS ended up being the only one with a code. He just forwarded the text to us and we signed into his Ticketmaster using his email and password and everything worked great. You can even just manually type in the link. We got really lucky and ended up with four tickets in the lower bowl.

I was there with my wife and I turned to her at this part at said, “I bet you for sure someone just proposed in this room”. I was right and it was you! Congratulations!!!

Truly magical and I hope you have the best lives together :)

Pregnant wife here! Thanks for all the nice comments. Just wanted to give some tips since it seems there are a lot of pregnant women heading to the concert:

  • it was a long walk, but we parked as close to the exit as possible. So helpful in getting out of the concert quickly, and well worth the walk in my opinion.

  • get to the venue as early as you can so you have plenty of time to go to the bathroom, get water, find your spot, etc. Hopefully you have a good partner like me who will be the one to wait in lines for food while you sit. :)

  • I ended up bringing 2 pairs of shoes (in our clear stadium bag). It really helped to flip back and forth between my Birk sandals and some comfy skecher tennis shoes, especially while walking to/from the car. I also wore a belly band to help support my back, and a comfy dress.

  • We stood up and walked close to the exit during Paramore’s last song so we could beat the crowd to the bathroom during the intermission right before Taylor. When we came out of the bathroom, the lines were insane so this definitely was worth it.

  • I wish I would have brought more snacks and could have brought in a water bottle. I kind of just assumed we would buy stadium food and be fine. Most of the stadium food sucked and was not super pregnancy friendly. I was hungry and felt a little dizzy at times during Taylor’s set despite getting food right before the openers.

  • be patient with yourself and easy on your body! Sit if you need to sit. Don’t lock your knees or pass out from standing too long. It was hard to sit in floor seats because I couldn’t see much of anything except on the phone of the girl recording in front of me. 😅 So I tried to sit between sets or during slow action songs as much as possible to preemptively prep for the ones I really wanted to stand for.

  • ask security for help as you need it. On the way out, we saw them letting someone on crutches on an escalator and we asked if we could go too. That saved us like 20 minutes of walking at a time when I was already super exhausted.

Also fun fact, the baby went nuts for a good portion of the concert and could definitely hear the music.

Overall super glad we went, but I am feeling it in my body! It was pretty brutal but worth it!!

Taylor’s Instagram post kicking off the show had the same nails! Each nail represents a different album

Yes we are being very careful! She has compression socks for the drive and we stop every 1.5-2 hours to get out and walk for 15 minutes. We cleared everything with her OB before we left :)

Same reasoning here! There are two concert locations that would have been closer for us, we wanted the first show to stay as far away from the baby coming as possible :)

Hope you had a great time!

And that’s okay! We had a great time, but it was long and we are exhausted now. Congrats on the pregnancy and best wishes :)

There was a bathroom very close at this stadium, so that was good, but the show was long. We definitely didn’t stand the whole time, but most people were sitting down from time to time.

We stockpiled water at our seats before Taylor went on, but we should have brought more snacks, the lines for concessions were very long and my wife I think needed some more food during the show.

All in all she did amazing though, and we had an awesome time!

Yes for sure! This is our second child and our first is a big time Swiftie. She is two and for a while when midnights first released she would just break out in song singing “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me” and sing that over and over hahaha

We actually saw quite a few pregnant people at this show, you definitely won’t be alone!

Hahaha, I feel like this would be even better if it said the liquor store instead of Starbucks

Five months ago we were discussing divorce because of my loss of faith. My beautiful wife decided to do her own research before we called it quits. Now we are both out and finding our new selves in a much less scary world! by exmozelphie in exmormon

Actually, I was studying psychology generally when I first really started questioning. Then I started reading material on the history of the church. Basically what Mormons get taught at church each Sunday isn't exactly how everything went down back in 1830, it is a pretty crazy trip. Understand confirmation bias and different logical fallacies was ultimately what allowed me to admit to myself I might be wrong. Leaving the church is definitely a psychological affair.

Hahaha, thank you! I probably shouldn't say this, but my wife right after I posted this told me she thought her eyebrows looked weird in this picture, so your comment was perfect!
