We are home but I forgot to post a blog yesterday! Our neighbour, Don, who was on our cruise told me: "I met an old friend from Burnaby who was on our Cunard cruise today. I didn't meet him onboard or even know he was taking this cruise. He asked if I saw Rod Stewart onboard. He spotted him twice! Apparently, he was in a suite on our cruise." We didn't see Rod Stewart. On Cunard the suites have their own area no accessible to non-suites. They can also eat in their staterooms. That's the first cruise I've been on with a star!
Cheryl, Dave, and Lexie adore Taylor Swift. They had no problem at the US border going south as they have Nexus. Cheryl reserved a parking spot remarkably close to Lumen Stadium. I got this picture before the concert with the caption: "What a vibe. The Swifties are in full force tonight!"
They really enjoyed the concert. Hotel prices in Seattle were exorbitant so they decided to go home after the concert. It took them one hour to get out of the parking lot and it was 3 AM when they got home!
This was reported:
From ‘Shake It Off’ to just ‘shake’: Taylor Swift fans who attended the singer's performances on July 22 and 23 in Seattle danced with such excitement that they actually caused seismic activity. Seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach told CNN the activity was equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
This event, dubbed the 'Swift Quake,' has been compared to the 2011 'Beast Quake,' when Seattle Seahawks fans erupted in celebration after an impressive touchdown by Marshawn 'Beast Mode' Lynch.
When comparing the 2 events, Swifties have NFL fans beat. 'The shaking was twice as strong as ‘Beast Quake’. It absolutely doubled it,' Caplan-Auerbach said.
