This blog is inspired by the website, A Hug from Taylor Swift, but I thought I'd change it a bit. I love Taylor Swift, but I'd actually prefer to meet the man himself, Brad Paisley! And as I couldn't think of a catchy blog name, I just made the name relevant for my aim...which is to meet Brad Paisley, and if a hug comes with it, I'd be happy!
Background --
I first saw and heard Brad in November 2007, when I was watching the CMA Awards at home. He performed 'Online' and I was an instant convert. By the time Christmas came around, I got his album, '5th Gear' and that just made me an even bigger fan. Since then, I've been listening to him, getting his albums, watching the CMAs, and trying to spread the name and music of Brad Paisley!
Back in 2007, I hadn't been to a concert since 2001. I looked online to see if he had plans in coming to England...and there were none. I was disappointed, but came to the reality that I had to wait to go over to the US before I could see him...so I continued to listen and buy his albums regardless!
2007 -----------J-U-M-P--T-O------------------------> March 2010
Then four days ago, I stumbled onto a ticket website and to my shock, I saw the words I was not expecting! 'BRAD PAISLEY - 23rd June and 24th June' - my heart leapt!! My birthday is on the 22nd June, where I shall turn 20 - so I phoned my parents and they agreed to buy some tickets for my birthday! What a day!
This is where this all intertwines...I have the tickets, I am now a fully fledged fan on his website...and I sure hope meet and greets are happening!
Keep watching for the next installment!
