The “meet & greet” was not typical. It was a casino thing where you had your picture taken with him by the casino photographer. They took you in groups. I went in with Meg (CrazyBoutSomeTaylor on TMS). She said if I posted it, I could crop her out. So I did! Thanks Meg. We each got a free picture after the concert.
It was wild. Here’s what I remember. We go in the door and you’re not in a room but a long hall. I’m looking around to give my pass to someone. No one’s telling me anything. And there’s Taylor at the end of the hall waving at us. I can’t quote him directly ‘cause it pretty much was a blur. Something like, “Come on ya’ll, down here.”
Now I don’t care who takes my pass because Taylor is wanting me “down there.” Should I run and jump on him or just walk casually but quickly? I chose the latter. I can be gentile and ladylike. He reaches for my hand, takes it and says, “Hey, how ya’ doin’?” I wanted to reply “without”, but instead just said, “I’m doing ok. Good to meet you.” or some such drival…..
So I think he greets Meg, I was too busy staring at his profile…yes, that’s what I was staring at. Then I think Meg was coming to stand next to me. I was not moving from his side. He kind of waves his arms in the air and say something like, “You each get on a side and I’ll be in the middle.” OMFG……“I’ll be in the middle.” That is all I heard. That did it…I was officially a goner. I’m making it part of my siggy.
The photographer is standing there and that’s when I felt it. His arm came around my shoulder and stayed lightly on the back of it. OMG…..so I said to myself (not aloud) wtf and loosely put my arm around his waist. It took every ounce of ladylike willpower not to slide my hand down and into his back pocket. The photographer took 2 pics and then he slid his hand off my shoulder and I said “Thanks so much Taylor.” He said something….I have no idea what, because I was literally starting to shake. A woman was directing us to an exit door. I immediately went around her and into a storage area, out of sight of Taylor, and proceeded to tell the nice employee, “You’ll have to wait a minute because there is no way I’m passing out in this hallway in front of him.” I did the classic hands on knees bend-over, and took deep breaths. HE TOUCHED ME!
So, I know…I’m crazy…but you must all remember this was my first time seeing him….ever…..
Here’s the picture. You’ll notice how cute and color-coordinated we are. I think we make a loverly couple.
And I so hate having my picture taken….so much hate….but I made an exception for him and Stephen.
I’ll post some pics later. Mine were pretty dark…the lights weren’t all that great. But I did sit right in front of him…directly…
And Loren so loves giving the ladies "the eye".
