That’s when I could finally breathe, Taylor Nation.
I’ve said this before but I prefer smaller venues. The stadiums are great, there’s more people, more exposure and more than likely you’re going to get bigger guests. Washington DC got Lorde and Jason Derulo. In a smaller venue, chances are you’re a bit closer to your artist. The other disadvantage for huge venues is the elements. Wind and rain can be a factor when we’re talking an open stadium.
The 1989 World Tour at Nationals Park in Washington DC had a bit of a rain issue. For the first night on Monday July 13, the catwalk lifts were affected leaving our Fearless leader stuck until the problem was repaired. For the second night on Tuesday July 14, prevention was in order. HAIM played a shorter set. A couple of songs had to be cut from Taylor’s setlist (collective gasp). That can’t be helped. It sucks and I hope you understand that Taylor and her team decide on this things primarily for the safety of the audience.
Lorde and Taylor sang Royals, while with Jason DeRulo they sang Want To Want Me.
Up next, the 1989 World Tour takes off to Chicago, Illinois which is one short flight from here and I could totally go. I can’t be that greedy though, I just had to sell my tickets to Nashville since I can’t afford hotel or airfare. That does mean two more fans will get to see the 1989 World Tour 🙂

Well-to-do Swifties could donate tickets, airfare, hotel room, & taxi fare to the writer of this blog since he is so gung ho to keep her fans up-to-date on everything Taylor.
Thank you! But I don’t need them to do that. Well-to-do Swifties should help people who are in real need.
Hi, have u thought of adding a “donate now” button to your blogs or site? I’m sorry you have to miss the Nashville show due to money. Being a self-employed author myself I know the days of little return 🙂 I’ve seen buttons like that on orher sites and I’d think #swifties would unite to keep another #swiftie afloat. Especially one that writes anout Taylor so well . Just a thought-e 🙂
I don’t like requesting donations… Then I feel I have to do something in return like other sites do, and then I feel like I’m holding back from the readers who just came here to read something good (or at least above mediocre). Thanks for the though!
The reason I didn’t invest in another trip to Nashville was because I have other expenses that are more urgent. I have a full time job and can pay stuff for myself. As much as I appreciate the thought, there are other people that are really in need.
I’m just cutting back on one trip. Thank you very much everyone for your concern, but the Nashville shows were always a maybe. I’m sorry that I’ve caused readers to worry about my situation. I am ok.
