I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser 🤷🏼‍♀️ (iykyk)⁣

Thank you for all the birthday wishes this weekend! I had a marvelous time at The Eras Tour + am so grateful to have had such a memorable celebration!⁣
⁣
I’ve been a fan since 2006 so it felt especially special to go through her Eras + remember the Eras of my own life on my birthday.⁣
⁣
When I had the brain injury + went blind in one eye nearly five years ago, I didn’t know if I’d ever go to a concert again. Even “normal” socialization—like sitting at a coffee shop or listening to music in the car—caused debilitating nausea + migraines from stimuli like light, sound + movement.⁣
⁣
In that time, I was isolated from everyone + felt like an alien in my own body. Movement of any kind made me dizzy, nauseous, unbalanced. Listening to music was torture. Watching TV made me physically sick. For this former musical theater kid, I couldn’t imagine a life without music yet I was stuck in this experience. Fortunately with time + lots of treatments I made progress, yet it took about two years before I could listen to music without triggering a migraine…and that’s when 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘬𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦 came out. It was the perfect album to escape reality + embrace the fantasy of what 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be—and felt soothing to my brain.⁣
⁣
And I think that’s what’s so special about music + other performing arts: they allow us to dream, to imagine, to create, and to connect.⁣
⁣
I could go on + on about why TS’ music is so important to me, but for now I’ll just say “thank you” for allowing me to share about something I love.⁣
⁣
An extra huge “thank you” to all the people who make the magic happen for nights like this: the band, the dancers, and the Starlights (singers) are all incredibly talented + brought so much joy; the crew, event staff, food + beverage handlers made everything go smoothly; and the security kept us all safe. ⁣
⁣
Extra shoutout to the lady who took this photo for me 🫶🏼 and for all the gals in section A13 who screamed their hearts out, showered each other in glitter + exchanged friendship bracelets. I was enchanted to meet you!⁣

It’s time to go…stretch before The Eras Tour!⁣ so tag your favorite Taylor Swift fan in the comments.
⁣
I can’t believe I get to see in my hometown in 1️⃣0️⃣ days!⁣
⁣
Lately I’ve gotten so many questions asking why I’m posting so much about Taylor Swift.⁣
⁣
Long story short, I want my social media to be a reflection of what I love 💞⁣
⁣
The longer version: the last concert I went to was Taylor’s Reputation tour in May 2018. Shortly after that, I had the brain injury & I couldn’t listen to music at all. For about three years, any noise (even a fan running in the background) caused migraines.⁣
⁣
Music has been a part of my life my entire life (playing piano, singing in choirs, performing in musical theater). When I couldn’t listen to music, a part of me died.⁣
⁣
There was a time I didn’t think I would ever be able to enjoy music again. That was a dark time.⁣
⁣
I’m fortunate to have healed a lot. And now that I’m able to listen to music again, I have so much appreciation for it.⁣
⁣
Getting to re-live periods of my life where these songs meant so much to me is some much-needed nostalgia. I feel so lucky to get to see Taylor next week!⁣

THE STRETCH TOUR⁣
⁣
For the next 10 days, I’ll be counting down to the kickoff of the Eras Tour with my own Stretch Tour ☺️⁣
⁣
Each day, I’m highlighting one of Taylor’s albums with a series of mindful movements inspired by her album.⁣

A HUGE thank you to for utilizing her skills to help me recreate these photos, album covers + posters. I am so thankful for you!⁣
