Double Dose of Taylor Swift - Part 2

Here's some more of my Q&A with Elena about her Taylor Swift concert experience.

What did Taylor say about her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department"?
She said she was really excited to release it because it's been a while since she released a new album.

Did she make a comment about any difference from her other albums or what's new?
No, she didn't really say anything. She just said it was she was excited.

Any comments about being in Japan? Was it her first time here?
No, it wasn't her first time and she said Japanese people are super fashionable and that it was fun for her to come over here because it's pretty unique.

What was the musical highlight of both concerts for you?
During the concerts she played multiple songs from past albums. And I think the musical highlights for me were the songs she played from the albums 1989 and Reputation because those are my two favorite albums. And the visuals were great.

Did Taylor mention anything about the differences of performing at the Tokyo Dome versus other cities?
She didn't really say much about challenges and I don't think she would have said anything boring or negative anyway. It's a concert, man! She just said that people are style-conscious and it's fun for her to perform here, and how so many people were here and she was like, so grateful and stuff like that.

What time did the concerts end?
I think both started around 6 pm. I think it ended around like 9 pm; both concerts probably ended around 9 or 9:30-ish. Pretty long, but a lot of fun.

Overall, how would you rate your experience at the Taylor Swift concert? Was it worth 50,000 yen for both concerts?
I think it was worth it because I had fun with my good friends. Also, I got to go two days--I got to experience it two times. I kind of grew up with Taylor Swift's music so I think it was something that was really worth it. Also, the concerts featured all the albums from her past, not only one album and a few hits. So I was happy to hear all the songs.

Anything else you want to say about the concert experience?
I enjoyed myself and it was a great time with my friends. A little bit expensive but I think the whole experience was super good. And I got to dress up, buy T-shirts and make bracelets, and trade with people and stuff like that. It was a totally good time.
