Have you ever been to a concert? A Taylor Swift concert to be exact. Have you ever gotten to go backstage and meet her? Well, I was lucky enough to go and do exactly that for free. I was the most ecstatic teenger in the world that night. Meeting her is the most amazing experience anyone could ever have.
It was August 19th and my dad, Kenny, was at Marsh where he had been working for for eighteen years. He had arrived at work around 1:00 p.m. Having nothing more to accomplish, he decided to check his email and saw that there was an unread email from Coca-Cola. He opened it. The unread email aforesaid,”Enter for a chance to win a Meet and Greet with Taylor Swift!” So, my dad decided to enter just for the fun of it for the reason of knowing that it was

And it was sold out. The opening act of the concert was Vance Joy, who sang about five or so songs then introduced Taylor Swift. When Taylor Swift entered onto the stage, she was flabbergasted by all of the cheering fans who were chanting her name. She just looked around like she was watching pigs fly or something. Her First song she performed was “Welcome to New York and the stage was set up like Broadway. She sang another seven or eight songs and then she grabbed her black, shiny guitar and the entire walkway of the stage started rising up a couple stories and started spinning in three hundred sixty degrees while she was singing “Fifteen”. After she sang “Fifteen”, she told us that she had a surprise for us at the end of the show if we would keep up our enthusiasm. A few songs later, she said,”Are you guys ready for your surprise?” Then the Band Perry walked out and everyone started screaming. Including me. The Band Perry sang “If I Die Young”. The awesome part was that my dad was singing along to entire time to every song he
The seats my parents and I had at Wrigley field were not great. The steps were so high that it felt like we had climbed Mount Everest and the seats were so close together that you couldn’t move without elbowing your neighbor, but that didn’t matter as Billy started to play Miami 2017. The first notes that Billy played rocked my core and actually made my eyes water not because Miami 2017 is a beautiful ballad but because it brought me into reality. It finally hit me that I was in Chicago watching my favorite singer belting out lyrics I had listened to hundreds of times live instead of just watching YouTube videos and listening to my Spotify playlist.
When I went inside there was all old people, everywhere. I was surprised. I never saw concert like this where only old people are present. They all were in casual dresses. They have wines in their hands and hearing the music in the peaceful manner. I was the only one who had Gatorade to drink. There was applause after every instrument played, and after the voice. Old couples were dancing on the side, I was happy and thinking this is how old people enjoy. There was no loud noises and screaming during the concert. Old man, who was hosting the stage welcomed everyone, and announced the names of donors who helped the society to organized that concert. He announced recording of songs is prohibited and requested everyone to switch off their
Only a small percentage of the people who had bought tickets were unable to make the show. And it was really too bad that they were not able to make it, because it was reviewed by many who attended to be the best show that Interstate 35 had ever put on. And I got to be a part of it! Ziggy Springer was able to sing, “Oh Baby!”, at the top of his lungs to screaming teenage girls dressed in poodle skirts, sign plenty of autographs, and give his fans lots of hugs. The show was amazing, and everyone around me was amazing. The night was simply
The lights would turn off, a song would start playing and everyone would cheer for the new singer.Those are the memories of my very first concert. Tyler Farr,Rodney Atkins and Miranda Lambert were the best 3 out of 7.
My journey all started in the car. It was the last day of school, sunny and just a good day. We were listening to the radio and jamming out to the famous song “Schools Out.” As the song started to die down we dropped off Olivia, my little sister at school. Now it was time to take on the last day of school. As we were driving to my school, the radio man came on. He said “Be caller number 9 and you could win 4 tickets now for a trip to the Amazon Rainforest!!” We usually never call and try because we know that we would most likely not get it but for some reason my mom decides to call as soon as I'm getting out of the car. I ask her, “Why are you signing up?” She replies with “You never know until you try right?”
She is a 10 time Grammy award winner, and among the five artists to ever win a Grammy for album of the year she is the only female to ever win more than once. Her hit song “You Belong with Me” resonated with millions of young girls many of which connected with the lines “If you could see/ That I’m the one /Who understands you/ Been here all along/ So why can’t you see/ You belong with me”. She turns ordinary teenage girl experiences into fresh country and pop songs. She grew up fascinated by music which led to her success as a Country/Pop artist. She constantly strives to make sure that her fame does not get in the way of her truly being herself.

Taylor has made a huge impact on music industry, from selling out Madison Square Garden, to record breaking songs and albums. Award winning singer and song writer Taylor Swift, is still forming her legacy as she continues to make history in the music industry, while garnering a large fan base worldwide.
It was June of 1993. My dad, Ernest Scammell, was stationed in Leticia, Columbia, and my mom, Briahna Scammell, was in the city as well. The whole city was partying and there was a parade honoring Miss Columbia, who had won second place in the Miss Universe pageant. Both of my parents, my dad with his air force buddies, and my mom with her friends, were out on the town unknowingly about to meet each other. Now, my dad tells this story all the time. He says “The whole busy street of partying people went silent as soon as I saw her. Like they weren’t even there.” However, this is not the ending, this is hardly the beginning.
Towards the end, he welcomed one of his roadies to the stage to perform ‘Highway to Hell’ by AC/DC, which is when the show started to become pure awesome. The crowd was all warmed up as the band transitioned into ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire.’
I went to this concert not really expecting much, however I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the concert interesting, it was also fun and a good learning experience. I went in thinking that I wasn’t going to know anything, however, I knew some of the songs, and I was able to recognize many things that happened. I knew three of the songs that were played. These songs include “Take the “A” Train” which we learned in class, I also knew “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong and “In the Mood” by Glenn Miller.

It did not hurt so i sat down then chloe's brother who is 5 years older than me.
Addie and I were jumping and screaming so much that we had to take off our shoes! About 5 songs after the concert started, a couple came up to us and told us that they had front row tickets and
It was a freezing winter day in December and my mom’s cousin, Emanuel, was coming in from out of town to enjoy his short winter break. The agenda for that particular day was a trip to Universal Studios, which I was dreading due to the weather. As my family and I approached the Universal Studios gates I could hear the piercing noise of speakers projecting someone's voice greeting us to their amusement park. When I walked into the actual park, there was the smell of freshly made hamburgers, which my family and I were craving because we had skipped breakfast to get there early. After eating the delicious meal my older sister and I split away from the group to go enjoy the rides we wanted to.
The guy that’s won 14 BET awards and has 31 nominations Chris brown. A Lot of people consider him a mini Michael Jackson because the way he moves. Right now he's the best in the music industry and entertainment business but his success didn't come easy.
I could not believe it. We were getting a free trip to Hollywood and given the opportunity to perform in Kodak Theater. Celebrities were going to judge us and thousands were to attend.
Halsey has always been my favorite singer/songwriter. I’ve been listening to her music for three years and she is my idol. She is an bisexual singer who isn’t afraid to be herself and I want to be like her. She is one of my favorite and if I could meet anyone it would be her. One day I actually got to meet her. Let me tell you how this went.
