Taylor Swift‘s Super Saturday Night concert finally happened! It was a night that we will remember “All Too Well,” a song that Swift performed especially for the fans, who chanted it out last year during her only concert of 2016 in Austin, TX.

Swift’s cats even made the trip to show their support backstage. By support, that clearly means no one else is allowed in the dressing room.

On stage, Taylor revealed to the audience that she would not be going on tour this coming year when she said:

“I want to be really honest with you. As far as I know I’m doing one show in 2017 and as far as I know this is that one show. By coming to this show tonight you are officially attending 100% of this years tour date.”

Prior to Swift’s headlining performance, actress Ruby Rose amped up the crowd and hit the turntables for a DJ performance in front of a packed house of celebrities, NFL athletes and invited guests. Portions of her DIRECTV NOW Super Saturday Night Concert will be available on Taylor Swift NOW at a later date. More here.

Swift captivatedthe audience with first time performances of “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” and “Better Man.” She made sure to tell the crowd that Zayn sadly was not there, and she didn’t want them to get their hopes up, but that she was there to sing “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” and the crowd erupted in cheers, because she is who they came for.

Swift also performed two other songs she wrote “This Is What You Came For” followed immediately by “Better Man.” Coincidence? We think not.

Super Saturday Night Concert: What Taylor Swift Fans are Most Excited For!

2 Comments

The Super Saturday Night concert is just a couple of weekends away and Swifties can hardly contain their excitement! This is the first time 10 time GRAMMY winner Taylor Swift will be performing at the event, brought to you by ATT & DIRECTV.

 

We asked fans what they are most excited to see at the biggest concert of the year and here’s what they said:

  1. 1st TIME PERFORMANCES.

Although Swift hasn’t released any solo music lately, she did just put out a single with Zayn called “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.” Swifties are hoping for a chance to hear the song and possibly hearing her version of “Better Man,” a song she wrote and gave to GRAMMY award-winning group, Little Big Town.

2. SEEING OTHER SWIFTIES/MEETING SOME FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Taylor Swift concerts are definitely “Holy Ground.” It’s the time where people come from all over to attend her show. This being so far the only concert of 2017, and with only one concert in 2016, it’s definitely bring fans from across the world. Getting to know other fans who are huge Swifties is definitely a plus. Sometimes you follow people for years online and now, with so many coming to the same concert, they will be able to meet up in person to see all of their other Swiftie friends! It’s going to be magical!!

3. GOING TO AN ADULT ONLY TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT.

We’ve all heard the jokes that Taylor Swift concert are filled with teenagers and if you’re even in your mid twenties you will be “The oldest person there.” Well Super Saturday Night is an adult only show! That’s right, everyone has to be at least 18+ to attend. It will be a unique vibe for sure and one Swifties are anxious to see!

4. GOING TO AN INVITE ONLY SHOW!

There was no way to buy tickets to attend Super Saturday Night so everyone going either won tickets or were invited by Taylor Swift’s team! Being recognized for being such a great fan is something many are very excited about!

5. DANCING LIKE CRAZY!

Swifties can’t wait to get down “To this sick beat” and dance like no one is watching! A Taylor Swift concert is the perfect venue to jump and dance and scream with  no judgement, and with a club full of people obsessed with her as you are, what could be better?!

6. THE POSSIBILITY OF A NEW SINGLE!

Swift hasn’t dropped any personal new music since 2014, so the fact she might be giving Swifties a chance to hear something new for the first time would be magical! This event is one of the biggest, so saving a new song for the concert isn’t completely out of the question!!

7. SET LIST/SURPRISE PERFORMANCES

Swift is always one for surprises and her concerts are the perfect place for them! She had surprise guests at almost every stop on her 1989 World Tour! With this being the biggest concert of the year, we are hoping for some BIG surprises! Of course the set list is also always a surprise and hoping for a new spin on some classics and maybe even songs she doesn’t always perform!

Check out the poll below to see many Swifties weighing in:

Taylor Swift Fans React to Being Invited to ‘Super Saturday’ Concert!

2 Comments

There’s only a few weeks until Taylor Swift will be playing Super Saturday in Houston, TX before the Super Bowl! The concert is so far Swift’s only show of 2017 and is invite only! That’s right, fans cannot buy tickets to this show, making it even more special to attend!

ATT is sponsoring the event and has teamed up with Swift to give out over 500 pairs of tickets to those who entered their sweepstakes! Fans have also been invited via social media for showing their love and support of Swift!

Variety Beat got to talk with some fans about being invited and just how much it means to them! We also wrote a little poem inspired by this event!

Super Saturday

Super Saturday February 4, 2017 is not just another day
It’s “Holy Ground” for Swifties, attending Super Saturday.
They’re flying from all over, ready to dance around
And scream really loud, for it’s Taylor’s favorite sound.
These fans have been invited, their dreams are coming true
They get to meet their online friends and other Swifties too!
The costumes have been carefully planned, they’re going all out
Sparkles and glow sticks is what Swifting is all about.
They know the words to every song, they’re ready to scream
And watch as Taylor stands back to soak it in and proudly beam.
Her smile gives hope and a reason to keep believing
That life is worth living and our dreams worth achieving.
She gives to so many, we can only hope to give back to her
For she brings a greater healing, medicine can’t cure.
So for two hours we dance and sing without a single care
We forget all our problems, there’s magic in the air.
We hug and cry and don’t mind who will see
At a Taylor Swift concert, your mind is truly free.
Let the music transcend your soul and move you to your feet
It’s the perfect place to get “down to this sick beat.”
Jump as high as you can, dance until you’re sore
Being at a Taylor Swift concert is what Swifties live for.
There’s no greater feeling, than knowing you belong
Connecting with somebody because of words from a song.
Live your life boldly, don’t be afraid to be loud
Be true to yourself, you’ll make Taylor proud.

~ Jennifer R. W. Vargas

Superfan, Bianca has been excited about the concert ever since it was announced last year! Even her cat is excited about the big concert!

When asked how much this invite and concert meant to her she explained:

Superfan, Amy also shared similar sentiments about how much the invite met, especially since it comes following the news her father has cancer. Her family has had so much bad news lately that everyone broke down crying for they know how much this means to her and how it will lift her spirits.

2017 could not have started any better for me. On January 5th, I found out that I would be attending the Super Saturday Night concert and seeing Taylor Swift. I couldn’t believe. There were immediate tears and screaming. It was even better knowing that I would get to experience this event with my two best Taylor friends! The excitement of finding out that I would be seeing Taylor at an invite-only show is something that I will never forget. I just couldn’t believe how lucky and fortunate I was to get this opportunity. I have never been chosen for any of Taylor’s surprise or invite-only events, which made this moment even more special. I am beyond thankful for this opportunity and plan to treasure each moment leading up to the concert and the concert itself. I constantly remind myself that not everyone will get this same opportunity. I wish everyone could go, but there is only so much space. It is not lost on me how fortunate I am to be able to attend this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Amy goes on to say how much Swift means to her and how she has always been there for her:

Taylor means everything to me. She has taught me to be fearless, stand up for what I believe in and to not let others change you. She has also brought me some of my best friends and I will always be thankful and grateful for that. Taylor has always been there for me, through the good and the bad times. I hope she will be there for me in the future, when I need her then or, perhaps when I just want to relive beautiful memories…..such as Super Saturday Night. I already know February 4, 2017 will be one of my favorite days and I will never forget the day as long as I live. Taylor, I know I am going to have the time of my life with you! See you February 4th!

ATT is also giving fans additional ways to win with fan parties! See if they are coming to your city!

Wishing everyone the best time at the event!! Happy Swifting!
