Thank you Taylor for all the Swifties!

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/17/opinion/taylor-swift-mental-health.html

When my wife and I first decided 13 years ago to surprise our daughters with Taylor Swift concert tickets, we had NO IDEA the impact Taylor would have on our lives.?We liked her clean-cut image and strong, independent young woman vibes. As her music became a staple on our family playlist, we were fortunate enough to attend another concert together with our daughters several years later. Her music and persona become almost like a very famous big sister for our girls, dispensing advice, wisdom, and strength through song lyrics. And, unless you live off the grid entirely, you have heard all the buzz about Swift's Eras tour which just baptized Minneapolis this past weekend. Why do I call it a baptism? Because it felt like a rebirth for the COVID and crime-ravaged downtown. Swifties of all ages descended upon the city, my daughters and several of my students among them, to breathlessly sing-along with Taylor and bring some of the best vibes Minneapolis has seen in years. So, from a dad who tried to raise strong, independent daughters and a Minnesotan who wants the best for his home state, I want to thank Taylor Swift for bringing her "Fearless" "Karma" to our town. I am truly amazed by how she unites people and spreads such incredible joy! #taylorswift #swifties

Spot on! Her writing captures people's hearts and minds, however for me her business skills are the best in the business. She is savvy, smart and not afraid to take a risk. #Taylornation!

What a wonderful perspective, Damon, thanks for sharing. I was blessed to take my then much younger daughter to see Taylor at her previous two appearances in the Twin Cities and though we didn’t take part in the festivities this time around, your comment warms my MN heart. I continue to feel the positive energy from all of those who attended. #goodrolemodelsmatter
