A Perfect Ending to a Dark Time
Keira Hacker attends Carmel high school in Carmel Indiana and will be a senior this upcoming year. Keira developed a love for music during the pandemic of 2020 because of quarantine and it being such a difficult and dark time in many people lives, music was a way to get away from the negativity in the world. Through discovering music, she began to listen to Taylor swift and ended up enjoying her music, and it made the pandemic a little more doable.
When the opportunity to see Taylor perform live became an option, her and her family signed up to get the presale code and the only one that was able to get it was Keira. She stated that she had an easy time getting the tickets and purchasing them unlike many who had difficulties. After getting great seats and a place to stay, she began choosing her outfit and making bracelets to later trade. Getting out of her comfort zone and meeting new people to trade bracelets was a highlight of the concert since everyone was so happy to be there and very nice. It was unbelievable for her to finally see Taylor swift after listening to her music in 2020 and it being an escape almost like a full circle moment for her. Being able to see Taylor live was an amazing opportunity and a special memory for Keira that she will never forget.
“I Had ever seen her live up until the concert and we don’t really go and see a lot of concerts and it was very surreal just seeing her up there and performing the songs that I really love was really really fun for me.” Said Keira Hacker.
Keira loved the energy that the concert gave with the upbeat and cheerful crowd, it was a once in a lifetime experience. Even now she still wears the bracelets she got from others and loves to talk about her experience at the concert. Music has made such a positive impact on Keira’s life in the past three years, and it will continue to be an important part of her life.
