With Swift mania sweeping the country, Blink 182 returning to the country for the first time since 2013, Pearl Jam announcing an Aussie tour and of course P!nk headed to Townsville next month there is truly something for everyone in the gig circuit right now.
Now the growing chorus of people yucking other’s yum is frustrating because when you think about the artist or entertainment that is your favourite, you cannot wrap your head around why others wouldn’t get on the boat with you. Interest is subjective to the individual.
I look at all these artists and while some of them I do love I wouldn’t say I’m a super fan by any means, but it reminded me of freshly 18-year-old Kaley, a student at Holy Spirit College, saved all my money from working at Eagle Boys Walkerston, flew to Brisbane to go to Rihanna’s September 2013 Diamonds World Tour solo. No regrets about that decision and would do it again in a heartbeat. The moment she hit the stage was euphoric, I sung my littles heart out, I cried, she touched my hand, and it will be a concert I’ll never forget.
Honestly, I’m so excited for the millions of people who will be having that with their favourite artists, especially in a post COVID world where there was a time when we thought we may never get the chance to see these people in person ever again.
So whether you’re into Swiftie, Blink, P!nk, Pearl Jam or anything else – I hope you have the best time and create memories that you’ll never forget to the sound tracks of your life. And if you’re a hater… I hope your favourite artists never come here because we have no time for negativity. Let people live their best life.
