bae-tay:Saturday, February 14, 2015 was the best day of my life because Igot to spend Valentine’s Day with the most amazing woman in the world.On that Thursday, I had gotten an email from Taylor Nationasking me when I was going to be in New York, and after a day of emails andphone calls I was told that my family and I would be going to Taylor Swift’shouse for lunch. To say I was speechless would be an understatement. I keptgoing back and forth between crying and not being able to talk, or process whatwas about to happen.We arrived outside Taylor’s apartment a little before2:00pm, and were greeted by a man who worked for her. He took us up theelevator and into Taylor’s home, where she quickly greeted us with hugs andkind words. Let me tell you, she gives the best hugs ever. I was in so muchshock of everything that was going on that I completely forgot to speak. I juststood there with the biggest smile on my face until we walked into her kitchenand handed her flowers and presents we brought. She even said she was happythat we brought the flowers!!! And then she opened the presents right there andread my card and told me I was really sweet. I could barely reply but I think Imanaged to muffle out a, “thank you.” She also told me that I sound older thanfifteen, which she probably took back after meeting me because like I saidearlier, I could barely talk, but if I wasn’t in so much shock I would havestarted sobbing.She then gave us a tour of her home, which was by far themost beautiful home I have ever been in. She explained to us that she pickedout all the furniture with her mom, and got most of it from a store in L.A.. Italso smelled INCREDIBLE because she had so many candles everywhere. She showedus her piano room, which she said used to be an office, and she showed us theguest rooms where she had snacks for her guests because she is an actual angel.There were vintage night gowns in one of them that were SO BEAUTIFUL andbasically everything about everything in her home was beautiful.We went back to the kitchen to eat lunch, and she MADE USSHIRLEY TEMPLES. Like, they were amazing. I don’t think I can ever drink anotherShirley Temple ever again because nothing will compare to hers. She made us thebest sandwiches ever, along with an amazing salad, and the whole thing feltlike a dream. She was so real and genuine the entire time, and despite beingthe biggest popstar and my biggest role model, talking to her felt like talkingto a big sister or a friend – only she was even nicer. We talked about feminism,boys, the Grammy’s, tumblr/anonymous hate/people being salty, Stone Harbor,Nashville, friends, and so much more. I won’t go into details of what she saidexactly, because I tried that once and was misquoted and drama occurred haha,but she was so inspirational, honestly. She said this one comment when we weretalking about anonymous hate that really stuck with me, so I’ll share that. Iknow I’m not saying exactly what she said though, so PLEASE don’t quote me hahabut basically she said that you’re a mountain. There are going to be stormsthat pass but they can’t knock you down. She followed by saying that she hopesthat none of the negative people bring down the positive and excited people,and that she always stays positive by thinking about what is coming next. Ialmost cried.We baked these amazing pink cookies and put in a ton ofm&ms to make them extra Valentine’s Day-esque. They were SO GOOD. She useda type of strawberry mix to make them pink, and they literally tasted like themost amazing strawberry cake in cookie form ever. Haha :). Oh, and while wewere baking we sent a selfie to her mom!!! And her dad called but she didn’tpick up because she said he would talk forever about his boating trip, haha :)After we talked some more and ate some cookies, we tookphotos! She was super excited about the snow, so we took photos by the window!We also took photos with Dibbles, THE SOFTEST AND SNUGGLIEST CAT EVER, andlastly she offered to take some photos on the piano. While we were taking thephotos, she started to play. I figured it was just to make the photos lookreal, but when I was about to get up she started to sing. I almost lost it. Shesang ‘Wildest Dreams’ and it was literally the most incredible thing I had everheard. Her voice was so magical and beautiful and I just wanted to sit thereand listen to her forever. I kept telling myself not to start crying because itwould ruin the performance, but it was so hard haha. I couldn’t believe that Iwas sitting next to my idol of seven years as she sung one of my favorite songsever (It is now, obviously, my all time favorite song). Her voice was sobeautiful and clear and incredible and I wish that I had recorded it I couldshow you all, but we were all such in the moment that nobody thought to do so(and we had been told beforehand not to take any videos). When she finishedsinging I could hardly breathe. It was the most beautiful thing I had everheard and SHE WAS SO CLOSE TO ME. I honestly don’t know how else to describeit, but SHE JUST SOUNDED SO AMAZING.She gave us each a hug before we left, and even brought usback in to see a cute position that Dibbles was in. She let us take her carback to our hotel, because like I said before, she’s an angel :).The whole experience was one I will never forget. Taylorwelcomed us and made us feel like longtime family friends, and I could neverthank her enough for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime. When we left itwas more than just saying goodbye to an incredible musician/celebrity, but itwas like saying goodbye to a best friend. I was pretty awkward and quiet butshe made us feel so comfortable and welcome for the entire three and a halfhours we were there. I only wish that I could have thanked Taylor more foreverything. For the experience and for everything she has done for me the pastseven years. I will never forget how happy I was on Saturday, and how kindTaylor was to my family and me, and everything she said and everything we did.She is the most wonderful human being ever, and even if she were not famous,she would definitely be my role model.PS sorry if there are tons of typos or grammar mistakes in this, i’m currently crying. -- source link
