Thanks a lot Steve!

Here’s their story. Sounds like they were having great times. (:

I brought my 13 year old daughter, Sophie to the Nashville Rising concert. I had been trying to get her tickets for Taylor Swift forever, her most favorite singer in her long 13 years on this earth! She has been singing Taylor’s songs in every talent show at school or any place she can. Sophie runs down the stairs every time tickets open up for her concerts telling me how many minutes it took to sell out for the show!

The only tickets I could find available were the Nashville Rising Concert tickets. When I found out the seats she would want (the closer floor seats) were the seats that had to be bid on I didn’t have much hope of winning any. After I bid on them and was actually fortunate enough to win them I was afraid Sophie would not like it because of all the other country stars that would also be there. She “thinks” she is not a fan of country music but………I had been listening to her play along with Taylor Swift Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Uncle Kracker, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, and Miley Cyrus in her room. I told her I hated to break the news to her but “she has been listening to country music”!

I waited to give her the tickets on her 13th birthday at the beginning of June. It was her most favorite gift of the year! This was the first time I have ever done anything with my daughter – just the two of us and it was the most amazing night I can remember!! My husband is in the military and is an instructor at Fort Rucker, Alabama. He had class that week so I had to drive the kids (3) by myself to Kentucky to stay with my parents. They live 1 1/2 hours from Nashville so I guess we made it a concert and trip to grandmas house!

I got to see my 13 year old daughter who rarely gets off her Face Book, I pod, out of her room, give us a smile or laugh have the most amazing night of her life! That meant more to me than even getting to see Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan!! It was an awesome well put together concert. It was a very amazing and special night for us.

Thank you Taylor for being a part of this benefit. Without you we never would have even know about it. I really enjoyed Taylor’s performance but we also got amazing performances from so many others that evening. It was so great to see all the people that are willing to pitch in a and help their community. It is unfortunate we don’t have a lot more of those people to spread out around the USA!

Again, thank you Michelle (and Sophie) for sharing with us.

Also, below is an article from MTV prior to the concert (thanks Steve for the link).

Swift said she and her band weren’t immune to the destruction. “The flood definitely affected all of Nashville. You know, for me, the fact that there were members of my band that lost their homes really affected me, because those are my friends,” she told MTV News. “Those are the people I call up as soon as we get home. The fact that it affected my band, that’s the most directly it affected me.”

While some of her bandmates have struggled to get their feet back on the ground, Swift said, “Thankfully, my home wasn’t damaged, but seeing people that I’ve known for years trying to figure out where they’re going to stay, it was really painful to watch. Nashville is really being rebuilt, and everybody’s been so wonderful.”

Presenting Swift with the Hal David starlight award, John Mayer praised her as “not a product of the hype machine” but rather of “everyone agreeing that something is fabulous. I’ve never in my life seen a more fearless creator.” With acoustic guitar in hand, Swift sang White Horse and described what she loved about songwriting: “For me, songwriting is an escape — an escape from reality, where you have to say exactly the right thing at exactly the right time.”

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Though Swift was born in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, and lived there until she was 14, there is a specifically Southern flavor to much of her appeal. She loves flouncy miniskirts and candy-colored strapless dresses and halo-style headbands with silk flowers sewn on. She says “Y’all” and “Thay-nk ewe!” She prays. She bakes. (When she’s home in Nashville, she regularly delivers homemade pumpkin-spice cookies with cream cheese frosting to the construction guys working on her new condo.) But there’s a clear-eyed, laser-focus quality to Swift’s attention, too — you sense there’s a mighty brain ticking beneath all those blonde curls. “I love having a goal, feeling like I’m on a mission,” says Swift. “I love trying to beat what I’ve done so far.”

At the moment, that’s a tall order. Swift’s second album, Fearless, was the best-selling album of any genre in 2009. An addictive confection of country/pop love songs, Fearless stole the hearts of little girls and not-so-little girls all over America, sitting at number one on the Billboard Top 200 for 11 weeks, which is longer than any other album in the last decade. Come awards time, Swift took home four Grammys (including Best Album of the Year) and the MTV Moonman for Best Female Video (aka The Kanye Incident) — along with a truckload of other trophies, including the CMA award for Entertainer of the Year in 2009. Tickets for Swift’s recent concert at L.A.’s Staples Center sold out in two minutes. Last year, she earned $18 million from albums and touring alone.
