"    Published in the October 2013 80th Anniversary issue At her shows, there aren&amp;#039;t all those cloying shouts of What&amp;#039;s happening, New Jersey! Orlando! Wichita! \u2014 wherever she&amp;#039;s playing on a given night across the globe. No How you all feeling? Because she knows how you are feeling. Instead, after her opening number, Swift puts her arms at her sides, pinches up her face as she&amp;#039;s wont to do, looks to the right side of the stadium, then to the left, and just takes it all in. And from there, she carries on a conversation with the girls \u2014 decked out in homemade T-shirts and holding light-up poster boards \u2014 that covers everything from the speculative colors of emotions to the best way to deal with a bully in a well-rehearsed spectacle complete with fireworks. Her banter has the leading, behavioral therapy\u2013infused lilt of a fourth-grade teacher: &amp;quot;You know, Jersey&amp;quot; (or Orlando, or Wichita), &amp;quot;I had a feeling that you would look beautiful, and so I just hope it&amp;#039;s okay if I ask you, Could I get a picture with you? Would that be okay?&amp;quot; You are validated by Taylor Swift at a Taylor Swift concert, and she is validated by you. That her songs go on to speak to the middle-school emotions many in the audience are wrangling with only cements the bond. &amp;quot;You know, I didn&amp;#039;t always have the kind of social life where 55,000 people wanted to hang out with me on a Saturday night,&amp;quot; she says, and the audience affirms her, cheering louder before songs than after when her monologue hints at what&amp;#039;s next on the set list. They toss up their hands into her signature heart shape, literally showing their love, and after her last song definitively ends the show \u2014 no encore for this girl, she&amp;#039;s already taken enough of your time \u2014 they flood straight to the merch booths.
