This isn’t exactly news or anything, but thanks to Lazeras, I found an amazing review/article written about Taylor’s performance at We’re All For The Hall the other night. It’s seriously an amazing article, really touching and beautiful!

That’s where we were Tuesday night, all 18,000 of us, when Taylor Swift performed.
