Taylor Swift was Marvelous in Minneapolis (US Bank Stadium) | Purple Swifty

Hello Swifties! Welcome back to Purple Swifty, your home for all things Taylor Swift! The U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis was abuzz with anticipation and excitement as Taylor Swift took the stage for her two SOLD OUT shows. Performing a whopping 44 songs over three and a half hours, Taylor was dazzling on all fronts. But what set these shows apart was you, the Swifties. From kindergarteners to collegiates, parents, and even dads, you all brought your A-game, transforming the drab streets of Minneapolis into a kaleidoscope of colors and energy. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a throwback to Beatlemania and the early days of Elvis, with Swifties belting out every word of every song with unparalleled passion. The unity among Swifties was heartwarming to see, from compliments on outfits to helping each other find seats, holding places in long merch lines, and even trading friendship bracelets - the sense of community was electrifying. Taylor herself couldn't help but gush about the Minneapolis crowd, praising your welcoming, generous nature, and your party spirit. Swift also reintroduced 'Dear John,' a fan favorite that hadn't been performed in 11 years. She spoke about its forthcoming re-release on 'Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)', as part of her ongoing project to re-record much of her back catalogue. During the introduction, Taylor reminded fans that this re-release wasn't about dwelling on past relationships, but more about reclaiming her narrative. She said, 'I’m 33 years old. I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19... I’m not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago.' In a nutshell, these two nights in Minneapolis were a testament to the power of music, love, and community. As we continue on this Swift journey, let's remember these moments and how they made us feel. Share your favorite moments from the concert in the comments below. Let's keep this love story going! Until next time, stay safe, keep shining, and remember, in the words of our queen, Taylor Swift - 'Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.' See you next time, Swifties!
