    I'm even more out of touch. How in the world is Taylor Swift a thing?

      I must admit, I chuckled to myself at all the adolescent girls at the concert who, like Taylor, had been jilted by Jake Gyllenhaal. And then I looked over to my daughter who surprisingly had also been jilted by Jake Gyllenhaal! And after three hours, I found out that I too had been jilted by Jake Gyllenhaal! Bastard.

      In all seriousness, she writes very good songs. And that was an amazing concert. 44 songs!

          60k went to see her over two days at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas this last weekend. Overnight lines just for MERCH.

          You are the outlier here.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            I don't really follow Taylor's music but her songs come up in my daughter's playlists when I am driving her quite a bit and I don't dislike them, for the most part. Like her or not, she obviously has a ton of talent.

              I was chauffeuring my son around for Prom. We ended up driving most of the Strip, and fortunately, managed to avoid the worst of the traffic. His date had gone the night before and loved it.

                My daughter drove down from Provo for the Saturday show. Totally loved it. And she is only a casual T Swift fan.

                  Walking back to Excalibur took 45 minutes. It was just a sea of humanity. Glad we didn't try to Uber it.

                  I play up my Swift fandom to my kids for laughs. I'm a fan but not at the Levin level. But I can't imagine even a casual observer not loving that show. It really was amazing. She deserves the shload of money she's going to get.

                    What you went to Vegas for a T-Swift concert, but you were nowhere to be found at the Pokemon Go Tour: Hoenn event? Priorities man, priorities.

                        That is just because you are friends with people like you who are rich and living in mansions in Alpine.

                                The stage was in an end zone area, so that portion of the seats was unfilled. Still, Taylor thanked 60,000 fans for coming to the show.
