Big News For Taylor Swift Fans In New York State

There is tons of hype surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce these days and most recently, the talk has been about their relationship and how it might affect the Kansas City Cheifs.

The entire world has been talking about Taylor Swift being at the game since last week when the superstar was seen in a suite with Kelce's mom and family and friends. The amount of attention that the game has gotten has been off the charts. There are some amazing stories and some unanswered questions,that we all have, that we seem to be slowly getting answers to.

Taylor Swift is not only the world's largest star, she may be the world's biggest influencer. Since the game against the Chicago Bears, the sale of Kelce jerseys has been incredible and the amount of tickets that Swifties are scooping up is helping to sell out upcoming games.

But Taylor Swift is certainly not an overnight success and Taylor Swift is certainly not an ego maniac that most other stars are. In fact, part of the appeal about Taylor Swift is how genuine and true to herself that she is. Taylor is the ideal role model for her fans and an inspiration for the entire planet!

I was fortunate to speak with Taylor for a brief couple of minutes prior to the Country Music Awards a few years ago in Nashville. The conversation could have gone in a million directions. However, we got to talking about the future and growing old and what Taylor is hoping for herself when she hits 50 years old.

"I hope that people focus on my lyrics and my songwriting", Swift told me. "I hope that I would be known for treating people well". She then went on to share a few thoughts about 53 versus 23...

TAYLOR SWIFT'S MASSIVE NIGHT IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK

Taylor Swift totally gets it. She has not forgotten what it is like to spend an afternoon painting the lyrics to songs on a home made shirt. She has not forgotten how exciting it is when a star recognizes a home made sign that you made in their honor. She has not forgotten what it is like to sing every word of every song hoping the star will see that you are the biggest fan in the audience. She has not forgotten what it is like to be bullied or put down by other girls and know how devastating that is to a girls life. I have met many girls that are scared for life by what others have said to them or about them. She has not forgotten what it is like to come home from school crying and begging not to go back. Or to wake up in the morning begging not to have to go to school or to beg to be transferred to another school because of the vicious verbal abuse that goes on from your peers. Taylor gives these young girls hope and courage through her music. I saw one girl completely overwhelmed with emotion. I mean crocodile tears. I have seen the videos of the girls that would faint when they saw Elvis or the Beatles and never really believed people would be so overwhelmed until last night. Taylor Swift is a star for a bunch of reasons. But after seeing her last night it all became clear as to what she really is all about. Those young girls that came out to see her are exactly what and who she was just a few years ago. I have met enough stars and seen enough shows to be able to say that too many of today's stars have strayed away from their "bread and butter."  THE FANS. In my opinion Taylor Swift is one of the few artists that is focused on what the fans want. She makes it a point to give them more than just a song or a story. She truly includes them in her fairy-tale life for an hour and a half at a time! Perhaps this will be a good reminder to other artists and a great lesson to newer stars who wish to connect with their fans the way that Taylor Swift is able to. If we have learned anything from a lack of concerts and shows in 2020, it's that if you take away the lights and the glamour, the most important part of being an artist, in any genre is relating to your audience and being real!
