A new year means new concert tours. Every year my friends and I like to go to a few concerts, and this year won’t be any different. Last year I got to see two of my favorite artists, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, so I am not sure how I am going to top that this year.

For starters, I do have tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras tour in Vancouver, Canada, in December. My Aunt Reen and I are supposed to go, but we haven’t figured out the logistics yet. We are hoping to go, but are worried about traveling to Canada in winter. Neither of us have been to Vancouver before, so we would make it a vacation and explore the area. Although I have seen The Eras Tour in Philadelphia, my aunt didn’t get to go, so I am hoping we get to go for her. I also wouldn’t mind seeing her again, as it was one of the best concerts I’ve been to.

Another concert I have my eye on this summer is Kenny Chesney with Zac Brown Band. I’ve never seen Kenny Chesney before, but I heard he puts on an amazing show. I have, however, seen Zac Brown Band, and it was one of my favorite shows. Not only do they sing their songs but they also cover classics from people like Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and more. They know how to have fun on stage, and it transfers to the crowd.

Other artists I want to see this year include Zac Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Tate McRae, Avril Lavigne and Pink! Although I know I probably won’t make it to all, I hope I make it to some.
