Taylor Swift

So, the girls had their very first concert experience... and oh what an experience it was!

Taylor Swift: Speak Now Tour

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

I think this was an extra special night for me because my dad took my to my first concert when I was little (well not as little as these lucky ducklings). I got to see both Madonna and Billy Idol when I was about in 6th grade and I remember every moment of those nights with my dad!

I totally believe that Ryan and Charlie will take this night with them forever...

The final outfit choices

(after several try on possibilities)

Everyone (even daddy) wore their cowboy boots for the big night.



Daddy looked more handsome than ever.

Waiting for our ride to arrive... but shhhh... they had no idea...

that not only was this going to be their first concert but also

their first LIMO ride! "Awesome!" as Ryan screamed!

Can you believe that we have waited since Christmas for this night to arrive? The girls got the Taylor Swift tickets in their stockings!

Mommy and Daddy were so happy that the girls were so excited for the night ahead!

We also picked up our friends Genny and daughter Ally to join us for the ride to the Staples Center!

Look at those smiles!

When we got close to the Staples Center, we were still way too early. We told the limo driver to drive around a bit until it was a better time to go into the show. Charlie and Ally had this great idea to wave out of the limo and have Charlie show her blonde curly hair out of the window in hopes that people would think it was Taylor in the limo. They thought this was hilarious.

Sneaky girls.

We finally decided to get out of the limo and head in.

The girls were priceless inside the theatre. So happy. So mesmerized. So wanted to know when the cotton candy guy (think Angel game) was going to come down the aisle. LOL...

The girls spent the day in curlers so that they could get their hair to look just like Taylor's hair.

the glowsticks were a hit... for sure.

time to dance and sing to a little Taylor Swift... they knew every song.

Signature Taylor Swift sign... nice Charlie.

Taylor did start on stage until about 8:30. Can you tell who started to get a little sleepy mid show?

A second wind for Ryan Corinne...

(yes, a few unnecessary concert shots on the blog, I know.... but I wanted there to be a few pics on here so that when the girls look back they will remember the night and Taylor)


10:40 p.m.

Uh oh...

They missed the encore :(

Oh well... a few missed songs didn't ruin the night! They spent the next few days wearing their new concert shirts full time, singing every song to the top of their lungs, and telling anyone who would listen that they got to ride in a limo! Great experience for sure.

Nighty night Grace Girls!

Oh ya, they also asked the next day, "When is Justin Bieber doing a concert?"

Oh no, not again... at least not for a little while I hope.
