Who’s the crazy 6 1/2 months pregnant mom who drove 11 hours to take her kids to a Taylor Swift concert? Oh wait! That’s me!!!
Yes. I might be certifiably insane but it was worth every moment. My friend and I concocted this plan about 8 months ago. We bought tickets, booked lodging, and I found someone to watch C + L.
We didn’t tell our girls until an hour before the concert and let’s just say the squeals could probably be heard all the way in America.
H and S have been Swifties since 2009. Some of you long time blog readers might remember Harper singing “Love Story” in a video when she was 2 or 3. They know all of Taylor’s songs and just love her.
It was an incredible experience + occasion for bonding. She was talented, magnetic, energetic, authentic, kind, and SO gorgeous. It was all very appropriate and very inspiring. We’ll remember it forever and ever.
P.S. If you see me and say hi and I don’t say anything back…I’m totally not ignoring you. I’m pretty sure I’m partially deaf from the thousands (17,000!!!) of screaming teenagers. GAH.

Taylor Swift is an amazing talent and, better yet, a great role model for girls!
What a great plan, and a memory they’ll cherish forever. Love the pics!
How fun! And, yes, I couldn’t get over all the screaming! Ha!
I have three boys, so that is different for me! I went with my
sister, niece and son’s girlfriend at the time. We had a blast!
I have three girls, so I am used to having a very loud, rambunctious house, but even I couldn’t attend a concert with screaming teenagers. Your kids are lucky to have a great mother that will endure the screams for them. Glad you had a good time. How neat for the kids to tell their friends that they attended a concert in Germany! Sounds like the drive out was fun with friends!
That first picture is just priceless. What an awesomely cool thing to do for the girls. Hope you’re feeling good. {{{hug}}}
so exciting!!! so happy they got to see her!
we have always loved her and can’t wait to see her in July in chicago!
thankfully we only have a half hour drive!
love that you got to see her in Germany though! jealous!!!!

I have taken to two TSwift concerts plus we saw her at Jingle Ball last year. Nothing comes close to the high pitch screams elicited by her fans. Glad you had a great time! Your girls will remember it forever!
How cool are you!!! Love their faces!
Ha. Such an awesome mom!
Mom of the year! Kudos to you!
That trip makes you a Rockstar Mama!
AWESOME!!! do explain the shirts please.
Totally awesome Stephanie. Love it! You might appreciate this .. my 63 year old husband took his 13 year old granddaughter to her first concert last summer to see Katy Perry. Just this past Sunday, she told me how cool it will be to tell her kids the story !
Definitely true happiness for the girls!!

Stephanie, you’re a top mum! As you say, they will remember that for ever. Wonderful memories of what an amazing mum you are. You’re a star indeed. CJ xx
Mom of the year 🙂 Take care dear :****
Love the first picture!! What great memories you each made!!
That is SO cool! I went to my first Taylor concert last year when she brought her RED tour to NZ. It was SOOO amazing, the best concert I have ever been to. I know what you mean about her. She is fantastic and I love that you took the girls to her. I wish she was bringing the 1989 tour here. I’m sure the girls will cherish the memory for a long time!
oh Stephanie…I can not believe that you surprised them…THAT IS AMAZING! A memory they will have always have…I didn’t care much for Taylor in the beginning but my attitude has changed since I now believe she is one of the most talented person in my lifetime and I am turning 60 in a few months..your children are very lucky to have you as their Mother!

I love the shirts! Huge HIGH 5 to Harper and Sadie for being such huge Swiftie fans as well. I can’t believe you sprung that surprise on them and I really would love to hand you the BEST MUM AWARD of the year!! 🙂
Oh the looks on their faces are priceless!!! I was lucky enough to see Taylor when she was 16 and opening for Brad Paisley. You could hear all through the crowd and many conversations for days afterward about how awesome this young girl was and how huge she was going to be. Love her!!
What an incredible experience for all of you to share! Those are the special kinds of memories and stories that will be handed down for generations to come! You are such an awesome mama, Stephanie!!
Those little faces say it all <3
