There are so many accolades I could list of why TS is the absolute best & deserves all of her success but what stood out for me was how the tour provided connection between parents & kids in a way I haven’t experienced before. I was fortunate to attend two of her shows, once in 2023 with my then 17 yr old & again van n1 with my 12yr old. The experience from start to finish bonded us in a way that felt new & meaningful. I don’t remember a pop culture event in my childhood that my mom or dad could have experienced at the same level as me. Where parents & kids are equally starstruck & fully engaged fans. This is also part of the far reaching inclusivity these shows provided. Everyone was welcomed, accepted & celebrated together. I’ve not experienced that before. In the city, in the venue, one could simply be a fan, nothing else required. Being a TS fan was like an equalizer for all. It was beautiful & uplifting. Hoping we can all keep a slice of that magic alive.
I was in YVR for an unrelated reason. The hotel I stayed at had an entire area all pink carpet, balloons and glitter, life size Taylor cardboard, swag bags, makeup corner and of course bracelet making station. My inner ten year old girl was swooning. It seemed like a lot of fun.

Yes, great point. I kept thinking the only thing that feels similar is Disneyland!

Yes! A big part of it was how involved the cities and businesses were. Such a cultural force
