Emma Rodriguez was 28 years old and had her wedding planned June 15th, 2024 in Austin, Texas. 200 guests, a perfect summer wedding. But then Taylor Swift announced the era’s tour dates. And June 15th, 2024 was the Austin show at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium, the exact same day as her wedding.

 Emma jokingly said to her fianceé, Michael, “Should we postpone the wedding?” Michael laughed. But Emma was serious. A week later, Emma sat down with her family and announced, “I’m postponing the wedding. I’m going to see Taylor Swift.” Her family was shocked. Michael supported her. It’s a once- ina-lifetime thing. Let’s postpone.

 On her wedding day, Emma wore a full bridal outfit, white dress, veil, bouquet, and went to the era’s tour. She made a sign. I was supposed to get married today, but Taylor was more important. Taylor scanned the stage, saw the sign, and froze. Wait, you were supposed to get married today? She called Emma on stage. Michael was in the audience. Taylor gave Emma the 22 hat.

Then Michael came on stage and proposed again in front of 70,000 people. Emma said yes. Taylor cried. It went viral. 400 million views. Emma Rodriguez had always considered herself an average Swifty. She loved Taylor Swift, listened to the albums, knew the lyrics, occasionally went to concerts, but she didn’t organize her life around her.

 She wasn’t obsessive until the ERS tour was announced. In October 2022, Taylor Swift announced a massive world tour for 2023 2024. The ERAs Tour. Each album era was a section, 44 songs, three hours and 15 minutes, a celebration of 18 years of musical career. When Emma saw the announcement, she felt her heart racing.

I have to see this. Ticket sales began in November 2022, and it was a complete disaster. The ticket master site crashed. Millions of fans tried to log in at the same time. Tickets sold out in seconds. Prices on the secondary market reached $5,000. Emma didn’t get a ticket. She tried for months, resale sites, Facebook groups, Twitter ticket hunts, nothing.

 But then in March 2023, additional dates were announced. Taylor was adding more cities and dates to meet the demand. Austin, Texas, June 15th, 2024. DKR Texas Memorial Stadium. Emma lived in Austin. This was a perfect opportunity. She set an alarm for the ticket sale, logged in early, and miraculously got a ticket. $450 about 50 m from the stage.

 A decent middle spot. Emma called her fianceé, Michael, screaming, “I got it. I got a ticket for Austin Aerys tour.” Michael had laughed. Congratulations, babe. When is it? June 15th, 2024. Silence on the phone. Emma, that’s our wedding day. Emma’s stomach dropped. The wedding, their wedding, was planned for exactly June 15th, 2024.

 Emma and Michael had been together for 4 years. Michael had proposed in December 2022. Wedding planning had started in January 2023. Date selection June 15th, 2024. The venue was reserved. Invitations were printed. 200 guests were invited. And now Emma had accidentally bought a ticket to a Taylor Swift concert on the same date. Oh my god, Emma whispered.

“How did I not notice?” “Probably because you were so busy with the wedding that the date was automatically blocked in your head,” Michael said reasonably. “I can return the ticket,” Emma said immediately. “Or sell it.” “No problem.” “M I know how much you want this,” Michael interrupted. You have a Taylor Swift ticket. This is amazing.

Maybe we could postpone the wedding. Emma stopped in shock. Are you kidding? No, I mean, think about it. Guests will understand. We can change the venue. We can move our date to July or August. I want to see you happy. And a Taylor Swift concert will make you happy. But this is crazy. Emma said, “We can’t postpone a wedding for a concert.

” “Why not?” Michael asked. “Whose rule is that?” Emma thought. Michael was right. Technically, they could, but what would people say? Over the next few weeks, Emma tried to decide. She talked to her family. Her mother was horrified. “You’re thinking about postponing the wedding for a pop concert?” Her father was calmer.

 If it’s important to you and Michael supports it, why not? Her close friends were mixed. Some girl, this is Taylor Swift. Do it. Others, a wedding is once in a lifetime. Taylor will come to a concert another time. One night, Emma sat with Michael and asked, “Are you really okay with this? With postponing our wedding for a concert?” Michael held her hand.

 M I know how much you love Taylor Swift. This concert, as far as I know, is a dream for you. I’m already married to you every day. If making it official waits one more month, it’s fine with me. Emma started crying. I don’t deserve you. You do? Michael smiled. Just get me a ticket, too. In April 2023, Emma and Michael announced that they were postponing the wedding date.

 New date, August 10th, 2024. Guests were generally understanding. Most already knew Emma was a big swifty. A few elderly relatives thought it was disrespectful, but most were understanding. As June 15th, 2024 approached, Emma had an idea. Talking to Michael one night, she said, “I was thinking, what if I go to the AIS tour as a full bride?” Michael raised his eyebrows.

 What? Wear a full bridal outfit, white dress, veil, bouquet, everything in the sense that I was supposed to get married today, but instead I’m watching Taylor. Michael laughed. That’s crazy. I know, but it would also be iconic. And maybe Taylor would see. You’re 50 m from the stage. It’s not very likely she’ll see. Maybe I’ll make a sign.

 What will it say? Emma thought. I was supposed to get married today, but Taylor was more important. Michael burst out laughing. That’s perfect. Do it. The morning of June 15th, 2024 arrived. Emma woke up with a feeling of excitement and a bit of surrealism. Today was supposed to be my wedding day. Instead, I’m going to wear my bridal outfit at a Taylor Swift concert.

 She went to the salon for hair and makeup. Real wedding hair. Real wedding makeup. The stylists were confused, but when Emma explained, they got excited. She didn’t wear her actual wedding dress. She was saving that for the real wedding, but she bought a white flowing showy dress, a white veil, and a fake bouquet.

 As they drove to DKR Texas Memorial Stadium, Michael was wearing a formal suit like a wedding groom. People in cars started staring in front of the stadium. When other swifties saw her, they screamed, “Are you wearing a wedding dress? Today was supposed to be my wedding day.” Emma shouted back. The crowd went crazy. Phones came out. Photos were taken.

 Emma was famous for a moment. They went inside. Emma’s seat was in front of the stage, exactly where it should be. When she sat down, she held up her sign. I was supposed to get married today, but Taylor was more important. People around her saw the sign and went crazy. They were taking photos, recording videos. Emma’s story spread. That girl in the wedding dress.

The concert started. Taylor came on stage with Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince. The stadium went wild. For the next two hours, Emma sang every song, knew every choreography, lived every moment. But the real moment came during quote 22. In Taylor Swift’s era’s tour, there was a tradition. During 22, at every concert, Taylor wore a red 22 fedora hat, ran around the stage, and gave it to a fan.

 She decided randomly at each concert which fan to give it to, usually someone who caught her attention at that moment. At the Austin concert when 22 started, Taylor came on stage, started singing the song, and began scanning the stage. Emma was holding her sign high, glowing in her wedding dress, waving the bouquet, shouting every word, and Taylor saw.

Taylor’s eyes locked on Emma’s sign. She read it. Her face froze in shock. Taylor stopped singing the song. In front of 70,000 people, she lowered her microphone and screamed, “Wait, you were supposed to get married today?” The stadium went crazy. Emma raised the sign higher, nodding and shouting, “Yes!” Taylor covered her face with her hands incredulously. Then she pointed at Emma.

“Come here. Get on stage right now.” Security ran to Emma. They helped her get on stage. Wedding dress, veil, bouquet, sign, everything. Emma was standing in front of Taylor Swift under the gaze of 70,000 people. Taylor hugged her. You’re wearing a wedding dress. This was your wedding day. Yes. Emma was somewhere between crying and laughing.

We postponed our wedding to August so I could be here. Taylor put her hands to her face. Oh my god. Where’s your fiance? Emma pointed to the crowd. Over there, Michael. Taylor shouted into the microphone. Michael, where are you? Camera operators found Michael. He appeared on the stadium screens. He was standing, laughing, crying, waving.

Michael, you’re a legend, Taylor shouted. Your fiance postponed your wedding for me, and you supported it. You’re incredible. The crowd cheered for Michael. Taylor turned back to Emma. Okay, here’s the plan. I’m going to give you the 22 hat because you clearly earned it, but also I want to bring Michael on stage. Emma’s eyes widened.

Really? Yes. Because today was supposed to be your wedding day. And even though you’re not officially getting married, maybe we can do something. Security brought Michael to the stage. Michael climbed on stage. Suit, tie, a bit sweaty but smiling, and ran to Emma. Taylor smiled at them, then turned the microphone to the crowd.

 So, today was supposed to be Emma and Michael’s wedding day, but they postponed it to see me. So, the least we can do, maybe a kind of unofficial ceremony. The crowd started going crazy. Taylor turned to Michael. Do you want to propose to her again in front of 70,000 people? Michael laughed, cried, nodded. Taylor handed the microphone to Michael.

 Michael turned to Emma. Both of them in the middle of the stage. Wedding dress and suit, bouquet in tears. Taylor Swift 2 meters away. 70,000 people watching. Emma, Michael began his voice trembling. I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t write a speech. But I love you. I’m not sorry you postponed our wedding because now you’re here on stage living your dream.

And when we finally get married, we’ll have this story. So, let me ask again. Emma Rodriguez, will you marry me? Emma was crying, laughing, nodding. Yes, yes, I will. Michael kissed her. Taylor was crying. The stadium was standing, applauding, screaming, going wild. Taylor put the 22 hat on Emma’s head, then hugged them both again.

 “You have to send me photos from your August wedding,” Taylor whispered. “I was invited.” Emma and Michael walked off stage. No longer just a swifty and her fiance, but as a viral legend.
