Kelsey and Danielle's friendship is one of fate. It all started when 15-year-old Kelsey heard Taylor Swift's Teardrops On My Guitar, and she was hooked. She soon became a devoted Swiftie, and made friends both online and in real life through the fandom.
When Taylor announced her first headline tour, Kelsey couldn't wait to go. Along with her best friend, Claire, they planned out their outfits and cat-themed gifts to give her. But what they didn't expect was to get the chance to meet Taylor themselves.
The girls attended the May 2010 show, but they were sat in single seats a few rows away from each other. Claire was seated right in front of the sound booth, where Taylor's mum stood during the show. She handed the gifts that Kelsey and Claire had brought to the singer, and Kelsey was overjoyed at the thought that Taylor would know she existed.
Unfortunately, the night didn't end as planned. After the show, Kelsey waited in a pre-agreed meet up point for Claire, but she never showed. Someone explained to Kelsey that Taylor's mum had offered Claire two spots to the 'T Party' - Taylor's VIP hangout for the Fearless Tour - as a thank you for the gifts. Claire had chosen to take someone else.
Kelsey was distraught. She was sat on the floor of the station, silently weeping alone. That was when a group of girls approached her, and one of them, Danielle, asked if she was okay. It turns out that Danielle, who Kelsey vaguely knew of online, had heard about the incident and was deeply upset for her.
Danielle had been given pit tickets to Taylor's show that night from the singer's publicist. She had also got matching Taylor tattoos with her friends, which caught the attention of the publicist. When she heard of Kelsey's situation, she invited her along with her friends to make up for what happened the night before.
Kelsey was elated, and the girls attended the show together. It was a bonding moment for them, and it was then when their friendship was truly sealed.
Five years later, Kelsey was finally able to meet her idol. She and Danielle drove four hours from their city in Ontario to Detroit to see Taylor Swift together during her Reputation Tour. At one point during the show, Taylor's mum noticed the girls and asked if they'd ever been brought backstage to meet Taylor. In an incredible twist of fate, she invited them to meet the singer after the show.
Kelsey and Danielle have marked their Swiftie friendship by getting matching tattoos. They also love brunching, travelling, attending concerts and events, and going for birthday dinners together.
Kelsey says that meeting Danielle was fate. She believes that they were meant to meet each other first, become close friends, and meet Taylor together. Do you have a similar story to share? Get in touch by emailing email.
