Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour

My wife is an ENORMOUS Taylor Swift fan and we've been trying to get tickets to see this concert for months. Suffice to say, when tens of millions of people across Canada are also trying, it's not very easy. Taking her to see this was a treat, even if our theatre was kind of quiet and lame. We genuinely expected more of a concert vibe, but unfortunately, even the amazing staff at our cinema, who tried their hardest to hype people up, couldn't do it.

To say that this concert really fits the cinematic experience would be an understatement. You don't have to love TS (although, 17 years of making music, there has to be a couple songs you know...admit it), but this concert does a phenomenal job of showcasing what makes her special. The sets, the outfits, the distinct visual and sonic style of the Eras...let's just say, the whole room shimmers.

Taylor is an incredible performer and has amazing stage presence. She simultaneously feels like a a girl sitting on the bleachers and trouble as soon as she walks in. Her outfits gleam in the Los Angeles night and she commands the room in a way few artists do. For the film specifically, the cinematography is honestly fantastic and not only makes you feel as it you're on stage with her, but allows you take in the enormity of the moment too

Don't what else to say, if you're a Swifty, you belong in a theatre watching this thing. If you're not, you'll be enchanted to meet her.

(And yes, this concert did what all great concerts do. Make you appreciate the artist even more. I'm a soft Swifty now.)
