First let me start by saying, welcome to Seattle! And second, I recognize you’re bombarded with messages from fans and I can only imagine how annoying it might be, but I hope you’ll consider reading on, not for me but for my sister.

My sister is (one of) Taylor Swift’s biggest fans. Tomorrow, we will have seen her concerts in three different states, driving from Colorado to Kansas for the RED tour. And my sister will also be flying to Denver to see the show in Colorado on Friday after working as a night shift nurse Thursday night into Friday morning.

It would be her dream come true to meet Taylor and she deserves it (I know I’m bias). It’s true for a number of reasons.

I’d like you read an essay she wrote in high school and then revisited 4 yrs later… “I remember the day as clearly as I remember the lyrics to every Taylor Swift song. The year is 2010, and Taylor has launched her first headlining tour. Her stop in Denver happens to fall on my birthday. I remain unaware of the fact that every girl in the car has a ticket to the show until someone has a slip of the tongue. Tension briefly hangs in the air, but then the discussion of outfit ideas and hairstyles covers up the awkwardness. I feel myself physically shrink while reality sets in. I realize that somehow I did not earn an invitation from my “friends” to the concert of my dreams on my 16th birthday. A new kind of pain hits me like a wall, and right then I became Taylor Swift’s biggest fan. I love her because she would never want anyone to feel the way I felt that day.

The year is now 2014, and my love for Taylor has never been stronger. I find a way to sneak her into most conversations, my room might as well be a Taylor Swift museum, the kids I nanny are forced to sing along to her music in my car, and I drove over 1,000 miles to see her concert last summer. Not only do I devote myself to loving Taylor, but I also devote myself to living my life by some of her wisest words, ‘no matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.’”

Reading this breaks my heart. Megan is kind, thoughtful, and genuine and truly tries to emulate the good of Taylor. I, for one, don’t know what I would do without her. In 2012, we almost lost her to blood clots in her lungs (pulmonary emboli) and legs (deep vein thrombosis) at 17. She’s been on blood thinners ever since; she’s only 23 years old.

Megan followed all the rules by watching videos, buying albums, etc. to gain points for the new purchasing system aimed to sell tickets to true fans. But Ticketmaster broke down when her time came up and customer service wasn’t able to fix it. She was devastated. We are now seated in section 337 row M seats 11-13. I know she certainly doesn’t take this for granted, but it definitely bummed her out that she saved her money to be able to afford closer seats.

I know for certain there are a number of people that deserve the opportunity to meet Taylor, but I have to fight for my sister. I won’t bother you further, but I had to take a chance; I hope you understand.

Thank you for taking the time to read, even if nothing comes of it, it’s nice to be heard. Have a great show! Don’t forget to visit the amazon go store and the spheres, it’s quite an experience.
