When it was announced that Taylor would be returning to the Sprint Center in April of 2010, I knew that I wanted to go. I also wanted to reconnect with her so I began brainstorming how I could do that. I thought back to how this whole thing started. So I sat down and began to write a letter to my favorite radio station. I was able to secure two meet and greet passes for the show. I was so excited!!! I always try to take new people with me to meet Taylor. The only person whom I have taken multiple times has been my mother. This time I decided to take my friend Grace. I kept it a secret until we arrived at the venue! I picked up the wristbands from will call and we headed inside. I had mixed emotions. I was really anxious, nervous but excited! It had been nearly 3 years since we had last seen each other. Would she remember me? I prepped myself for the possibility that she wouldn't know who I was. Grace and I headed backstage and positioned ourselves near the end of the meet and greet line. We finally made it into the room where Taylor was greeting her fans. I watched in awe as she took the time to talk to each person and to give them a big hug. She can make people feel so special. And then it happened...Taylor and I made eye contact. In that moment, I knew that she recognized me. The next question, "Will she know my name?" The line moved forward and it was now our turn. She gave me a giant hug and said, "Hey Ann!" I couldn't believe it! I introduced her to my friend Grace and we chatted a while. I told her about Cale and how we were engaged. She immediately wanted to see the ring. She loved it. We chatted for a little while longer but then our time was up. We took a picture and said our goodbyes.
