'Considering I cover the Browns, and have gotten to travel to see other stadiums as well, I was expecting a typical raucous NFL environment at these shows. Knowing how often I’m in those exact environments, I wasn’t expecting to be shocked.'
While James took care of my car, I did what more than 73,000 other people did on Saturday: Got ready for the concert.
For one, there was the number of people. According to a Twitter post from Acrisure Stadium, Saturday’s showwhen 73,117 fans packed in to witness the 3 1/2-hour tour de force by Swift, with performances from nine of her 10 albums spanning roughly 15 years of work. During the show, Swift said she made sure to clarify that the record included any Steelers games as well when that particular bit of news was broken to her pre-show.
It’s the fact that the 500-level section of the stadium was literally shaking to the point that I was worried about tumbling into the row in front of me during some of the fan favorite portions of the concert -- what can I say, Swifties go hard when it’s time to scream along to the bridge of “Cruel Summer” off of her “Lover” album.
With that relatability, the music becomes timeless. A teenage girl can listen to her second studio album “Fearless” today and feel the same way I did driving around as a 16-year-old high school junior in 2009. Couple that with just how hard it was to get tickets after the disaster that was Ticketmaster’s presale, and resellers scalping tickets for thousands of dollars apiece, and it adds another level -- appreciation and disbelief at simply being able to attend.
Because like James, I too had never seen an event quite like this one -- one that offered this level of excitement, catharsis, disbelief and awe for 3 1/2 hours.
