I wrote a REALLY short chapter. Oh well. *shrugs*
Taylor Swift concert in Sacramento for her album "Red". Melanie really wanted to see it. I didn't want to, but I went to see it with her anyway. It was supposed to be a holiday special concert.
We bought our food and drinks and settled down into the seats provided. Melanie giggled excitedly. I smiled enjoyed her company. We arrived an hour earlier than the concert actually started. I played Candy Crush on my phone and Melanie talked to me. I listened and played.
The hour dragged on. At long last it was 7 o'clock and Taylor Swift came out on stage, starting by singing "Red."
"Loving him was Reh-eh-eh-ed. Reh-eh-eh-ed. Mm reh-eh-eh-ed. reh-eh-eh-ed Burning reh-eh-eh-ed." Melanie sang along and I just listened. I wasn't a HUGE Taylor Swift fan. She's alright, though, no matter how much I may tease her online.
After Red, Taylor stopped to talk about life and greeted us. She was very warm towards us. She told us a story about her love life and then sang "Treacherous."
"This slope is treacherous. This path is reckless. This slope is treacherous. And I, I, I like it." Taylor sang with lots of feeling and emotion. The song sounded, kind of, like her original songs. I thought the song was nice.
Then she talked and sang "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". In the middle of the song, she did a wardrobe switch and was dressed in a short "Santa" dress, with a Santa hat. Taylor grabbed her guitar and started singing Silent Night. After the clapping she did a bunch of songs, both hers and covers of Christmas songs, overall doing a great job. I looked over at Melanie's captivated face and knew something I HAD to do for her.
Something I'd do for Melanie on Christmas...
