I’m 67. But she was playing in New Orleans in 2023?
I was on a flight that weekend from Panamá to MSY, and the joy on that airplane. I didn’t know it was a Swiftie weekend, but the pilot played her music. The flight attendant traded bracelets or whatever that deal was. The entire flight was hilarious and my favorite experience in the air ever.
It took me all these decades to really enjoy flying. And all these teens/ twenty something’s started calling me Grandpa, and it was SO the opposite of insulting.
