Sometimes you have to make a decision...checkout how one couple actually cashed in with their Taylor Swift tickets. We all know how expensive tickets for Taylor Swift can be. So, when it came right down to it, one couple decided to take a woman up on her offer.

A woman in Idaho actually offered up her wedding venue for a couple of tickets to see Swift in concert. Well, according to an article in People magazine, that's all it took for one couple. The couple had six tickets all together, so to give up a couple of tickets in exchange for a FREE wedding venue was a no brainer!

The tickets cost about $300 a piece, as opposed to the venue that would normally run a little under $5000! Just do the math, that is a great deal for the couple that was planning to get married in the very near future.

Needless to say, when the couple heard about the offer, they thought it was a joke. But thanks to the bride-to-be's mom, she saw the video offer, passed it along to the couple and BLAMO!

Once the couple agreed on the date, found out the venue was available, the deal was done. All that was left was to walk through to see if the place was suited for them. Well, guess what? It was, so it was deal!

Considering what a wedding will cost you these days, it was worth the exchange. The couple tied the knot on October 8th of this year and said everything was perfect! The reception hall was beautifully decorated and everyone was more than delighted.

And in the end, everyone was happy. The owner of the wedding venue got to see her favorite artist and the young couple got their wedding. Oh, and it seems that everyone got to see Tay-Tay! True love wins again!

Concert Companions: 10 Types Of People You’ll Meet At Live Shows

There's something incredibly special about going to a concert and witnessing your favorite artists perform live on that stage. It's not just about the music anymore. It's about the whole atmosphere and the unique energy that fills the air. The experience can transport you to a different world, where you can momentarily forget about the stresses of everyday life and lose yourself in the melodies and beats.

One of the best things about concerts is the sense of connection and community they create. You're surrounded by people who share your love for the same artist or genre. It's like you're all part of this big, beautiful family. Singing along, dancing together, and cheering as one.

The people at concerts are just as fascinating as the concerts themselves.  When you gather thousands of music lovers in one place, you get a colorful tapestry of personalities and behaviors. It's a great opportunity for "people watching." And if you are an astute people watcher, you know that there are definitely types of people who you encounter at shows. Here, we break it down and list ten of the types that we seem to see at every show.

The Die-Hard Fan

From the minute the concert begins, the die-hard fan's energy level is at an entirely different level. They are the first to rise to their feet, pumping their fists in the air They know all the lyrics, and dance moves. And they are fully immersed in the music. They are often seen front and center, singing and dancing with a lot of energy.

The Social Butterfly

Concerts are seen to the social butterfly as an opportunity to socialize and make new friends. From the moment they arrive at the concert venue, the social butterfly exudes a warm and approachable aura. They strike up conversations with those around them, sharing their excitement and genuine enthusiasm for the music and the event.

The Casual Observer

These concertgoers are there to enjoy the music but prefer a more laid-back approach. They may not know every song, but they appreciate the experience and are content to relax and take it all in. You might see them nod along or tap their foot to the music, occasionally joining in during well-known choruses or catchy hooks.

The Selfie-Addict

For this person, attending a concert is all about capturing the perfect selfie or video to share on social media. They spend a significant amount of time taking photos, recording snippets of songs. From the moment they arrive at the concert venue, the selfie addict is armed with their smartphone or camera, ready to capture every moment. They meticulously plan their shots, searching for the best angles, lighting, and backgrounds to enhance their photos. They may even experiment with different poses, expressions, and even selfie sticks or tripods (if they can sneak them in) to ensure they get the perfect shot. They might need to be reminded that concerts are best experienced without a phone between their eyes and the stage. On the other hand, let them have their fun.

The Mosh Pitter

You know that person at a concert who just throws themselves into the craziness of the mosh pit? That's the mosh pitter. They're all about the energy, the excitement, and the physicality of the music. When the heavy tunes start blasting, you can find them right in the middle of the action. They'll push, shove, jump, and even try their hand at crowd surfing. It's like they're tapping into some primal energy, just letting loose and going wild.

The Dancer

This person has an irresistible urge to dance to the music, regardless of their skill level. If you're a "people-watcher," the worse their dancing skills, the more fun you'll have watching them. They can be seen moving to the beat with enthusiasm and encouraging others around them to join in the dance. An even if they're terrible, it's the thought that counts.

The Super Fan

They're the ones who take fandom to a whole new level. The kind of person who lives and breathes for the artist or band performing. They're like walking encyclopedias of everything related to their favorite musician. They might dress up like the artist, have handmade signs, or bring special props to show their unwavering support. You can see that they've been rehearsing for this show for weeks. Or months. Or years.

The Critic

This individual analyzes every aspect of the performance, from the artist's stage presence to the sound quality. The concert critic isn't afraid to point out areas where the performance fell short or could have been better. But they also make sure to highlight the artist's strengths and any standout moments that deserve recognition. They might even engage in discussions with fellow concertgoers, debating the artist's performance or comparing it to previous shows. (They might forget that they're there to have a good time.)

The Wallflower

These individuals prefer to observe from a distance rather than actively participate. They may be shy or simply enjoy the music in a calmer manner, quietly enjoying the concert experience. While the more energetic concertgoers are dancing, jumping, and singing along, the wallflower tends to sway to the music in their own subtle rhythm. They're not the type to scream or shout, but you can see the appreciation on their face as they close their eyes and get lost in the melodies.

The Party Animal

The party animal is an expert at making the most of every moment. Concerts are seen as an opportunity to let loose and have a wild time for them. They often arrive in groups, bring their own party supplies, and are usually the life of the after-party. They're not afraid to sing at the top of their lungs, even if they don't know all the lyrics perfectly. They're there to have a good time, and they make sure everyone around them is having a blast too. You might want to avoid them, especially during ballads. Unless you're into hearing loud off-key vocals (that may not even get the lyrics right).
