Dear Ms. Taylor Alison Swift and Taylor Swift’s Management Team,

Subject: A Symphony of Strength and Gratitude

@taylorswift I hope this letter finds you well, Taylor. My name is Kelley Sagiv, and I’m writing to express my profound admiration for you. For years, your music has been my sanctuary, guiding me through life’s highs and lows. You’ve been the soundtrack to my most challenging moments, and today, I want to share a piece of my story with you. @taylornation

When I was ten years old, my family and I embarked on a road trip from Brooklyn, NY, to Florida to celebrate Passover with our extended family. It was meant to be a time of joy and reunion. However, on Sunday, April 13, 2003, everything changed. As we were driving through South Carolina, a tire blew out, causing our car to spin out of control and roll over multiple times. I, along with my father, sister Lily, twin sister Ashley, and our two dogs, was ejected from the car. That day, I suffered a brainstem injury that left me quadriplegic with paralyzed vocal cords.

In the aftermath, life became an unimaginable battle. But through it all, your music has been a constant companion, offering solace when I needed it most. I’ve often found a piece of myself in your songs, and I’m forever grateful for that.

One of the most meaningful moments in my relationship with your music comes from my bond with my sister Lily. Together, we’ve shared laughter, tears, and healing, and your songs have been woven into the fabric of our lives. We’ve even reimagined some of your lyrics to reflect our unique journey. For instance, in “You Belong With Me” from Fearless, we playfully adapted the line to “You Belong With Me” She wears high heels, I wear sneakers, She’s Cheer Captain, and I’m in a wheelchair. “It’s a playful twist. We also frequently create videos where we recite the bridges of your songs, finding therapeutic comfort in your music.

One song that deeply resonates with me is “Clean” from the 1989 album. While the song speaks about recovery from addiction, for me, it reflects my struggle as a quadriplegic with vocal cord paralysis. I relate to the line, “The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing.” It perfectly captures the frustration of being trapped in a body that can’t always express what I’m feeling. Yet, like in the song, I’m always striving to feel “clean” again—to regain my voice, my strength, and my sense of self.

In 2016, I was hospitalized with pneumonia, and your music once again became my refuge. My sister Lily would sit with me and play your songs, including “Clean,” to lift my spirits. We even created our own version of the lyrics to reflect my battle in the hospital:

“The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing… Medicine drips, now I can finally breathe. “Your music provided a sense of calm and healing when I needed it most.

There’s something I’ve always wished for: that we could be friends in real life. I imagine us telling each other everything, sharing our thoughts and experiences without holding back. I want to learn from you—not just about music or life, but about how to be a better person. Most importantly, I want to learn how to love myself again, the way your music has helped me begin to do.

There are also times when your song “Anti-Hero” speaks directly to my deepest insecurities. “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me”—those words have echoed in my mind as I’ve grappled with feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and fear of never being enough. Most of my life, I've been embarrassed about my appearance, and sometimes I feel like everyone around me is "gorgeous on the inside and outside." While I'm like the ugly duckling of the wicked west, who has no regard for her own appearance because she believes she’s too worthless, unattractive, useless, and fat to everyone around her, according to her, she does not believe she is worthy as a person and will never find true love. The more I look around, the more I find myself feeling jealous of what other people are doing in the world where I am not able to do. When I see people doing everything, they want without depending on anyone, I become emotional, teary-eyed, and depressed. I believe in my heart that they live a better life than I do. They do not need to rely on anyone for assistance, as I do. When I am among other people, sometimes I feel like saying, "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby." "And I'm a monster on the hill." Mentioned in the song, “Anti- Hero” by Taylor Swift from her “Midnights” album.  But again, your music reminds me that I’m not alone in feeling this way. It’s comforting to know that even someone as strong and accomplished as you can relate to such vulnerability.

I faced another health challenge when I was hospitalized for sepsis and pneumonia, just weeks before your Eras Tour at MetLife Stadium. I was on a ventilator, fighting to breathe, and once again, your music played on repeat, providing a steady rhythm in moments of struggle. My sister Lily even made posters to put on my hospital wall that said, “Shake it off, shake it off!” to keep my spirits up.

On May 6th, I was discharged from the hospital, but I had to stay in Florida to recover. I was heartbroken when I couldn’t attend the Eras Tour at MetLife Stadium. However, my spirits were lifted when you announced additional shows in Miami on October 18, 19, and 20. I was filled with immense joy and excitement, but when I tried to purchase tickets, I encountered numerous challenges. I had trouble entering the queue and, when I finally did, the tickets were all sold out. I was devastated.

I understand that being a verified fan doesn’t guarantee tickets, but what made it especially difficult was the lack of ADA-accessible tickets offered by Ticketmaster. It was deeply disheartening to discover that there were no accessible seats available. After much difficulty, I managed to buy a few tickets from resellers at an extremely high price, just to be able to attend your Eras Tour in Miami on October 20, 2024.

I would be so grateful and feel like the luckiest person in the world if you were to pick me to receive the hat giveaway during your performance of “22.” It would be a moment I’d cherish forever.

My Swiftie journey began with “Love Story,” and being a Swiftie has always been dear to my heart. With each passing day, my admiration for you only grows stronger. Your music has been a steadfast companion, a testament to the transformative power of art. Thank you, Taylor, for being a constant source of strength, hope, and inspiration in my life.

Since the age of ten, after my accident, I’ve had to learn how to mask the pain I carry every day. I’ve perfected the art of smiling through the agony, because I didn’t want the world to see just how shattered I felt inside. Your song “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” resonates with me on such a profound level. The line, “'Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit,” is something I’ve had to live every single day. I’ve been forced to be strong, to put on a brave face when all I wanted to do was scream and cry. The truth is, it’s exhausting to fake being okay when inside you feel like you’re falling apart.

But your music gives me the strength to push forward. “I was grinning like I’m winning, I was hitting my marks, ‘cause I can do it with a broken hea \rt.” Those words capture the relentless fight I’ve been in for years. Even when my heart feels like it’s in pieces, I’ve kept moving forward. There are moments when the weight of everything feels unbearable, but I’ve had to keep going because that’s what survival looks like. Your music has been my lifeline through it all. @taylornation

The raw honesty in your lyrics makes me feel seen, understood. I can relate so deeply to the idea of being broken, yet still fighting, still finding the strength to show up and face the world. And it’s through your music that I’ve found the courage to embrace my vulnerability, to let go of the shame in feeling broken, and instead, see the power in continuing to move forward. You’ve taught me that there’s strength in the struggle, and that even with a broken heart, I can rise above it all.

Lastly, I’ve tried writing a song about my story, but I’ve struggled to find the right lyrics or melody. If you ever have the chance, I would love your help in bringing this song to life. You have such an incredible talent for turning emotions into beautiful art, and it would mean the world to me to share in that creative process with you. @taylorswift

With all my love and gratitude,

Imagine a single moment that takes away your voice, your mobility, and everything you once knew—yet somehow ignites a fire inside you to fight back. That’s my story, and your music has been the soundtrack to every step of my journey.

Dear Ms. Taylor Alison Swift and Taylor Swift’s Management Team, @taylorswift @taylornation

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Kelley Sagiv, and I want to express my profound admiration for you, Taylor. Your music has been a beacon of light in my life, carrying me through some of the darkest times. You’ve inspired me in ways that words struggle to capture, but I hope to share a piece of my story with you to show just how deeply you’ve impacted me.

In 2003, when I was ten, my family and I took a road trip to Florida for Passover. It was supposed to be a time of celebration with loved ones. But on April 13th, as we passed through South Carolina, everything changed in an instant. The tire blew out, and our car spun and rolled over four times. I was ejected from the vehicle, along with my father, my sisters Lily and Ashley, and our two dogs. In that moment, I suffered a brainstem injury that left me quadriplegic, and I lost the ability to speak.

Life, as you so beautifully express through your music, is filled with both triumphs and unimaginable trials. And through each of mine—moments of heartache, resilience, and unimaginable struggle—your music has been my companion.

My sister Lily and I share a bond not just born from our experiences, but from our love for your music. Together, we’ve playfully rewritten your lyrics to reflect our own reality. For instance, from Fearless, “You Belong With Me” became, “She wears high heels, I wear sneakers, She's Cheer Captain, and I'm in a wheelchair.” It’s these little twists that make your songs so deeply personal to us, offering joy, laughter, and healing in ways only music can.

The song that holds the deepest connection for me is “Clean” from 1989. Though the song speaks to recovery from addiction, I relate to it on an entirely different level. Each day I fight to reclaim my voice and my strength, often feeling like I’m drowning in my own silence, with no one to hear me scream. “The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing.” These lyrics capture that sense of isolation, yet your music reminds me to keep fighting.

I can hardly contain my excitement to attend The Eras Tour in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024. It would be beyond my wildest dreams to be chosen for the hat giveaway during your performance of “22.” That hat, and the moment it would represent, would be more than a symbol—it would be a testament to everything I’ve fought for and everything your music has helped me overcome.

@taylornation I became a Swiftie the moment I first heard Love Story on Fearless. Your music has been the soundtrack to my growth, my pain, and my healing. With every album, that bond deepens. Your ability to transform heartbreak into empowerment has guided me in transforming my own heartache into resilience.

@taylorswift Receiving the hat during “22” would feel like a dream come true—a physical token of everything your music has given me: hope, strength, and the will to keep fighting.

Thank you for being the voice that carries me forward. Your art truly transforms lives, and mine is one of them.

With all my heart,

Kelley Sagiv

Dear Ms. Taylor Alison Swift,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Kelley Sagiv, and I just wanted to express my deep admiration for you. You have been a source of inspiration and have played a significant role in helping me through difficult times. I’d love to share a little bit of my story with you. @taylorswift @taylornation

When I was ten years old, my family and I took a road trip to Florida to celebrate Passover with extended family. On Saturday, April 12, 2003, we left Brooklyn, NY, to begin our journey. When we reached South Carolina on Sunday, April 13, 2003, I asked my mother, "What time is it?" She said, "It's 1:30 p.m., Kelly," and in that instant, my whole world changed.

A tire blew out, causing my mother to lose control of the car. Our vehicle spun four times and rolled over four times. The sound of screeching tires and blaring horns faded as I was ejected from the car, along with my father, sister Lily, twin sister Ashley, and our two dogs. I suffered a brainstem injury that left me quadriplegic and paralyzed my vocal cords.

Life, as we both know, paints its canvas with both triumphs and tribulations. Through my highs and lows, your music has been a constant source of comfort, resonating in the echoes of my heart during moments of uncertainty and despair.

My sister Lily and I share a special bond, one that has been strengthened by our shared love for your music. We've even altered some of your lyrics to fit our personal experiences. From the Fearless album, we’ve reimagined "You Belong With Me" by adding our own twist: "She wears high heels, I wear sneakers, She's Cheer Captain, and I'm in a wheelchair." These playful adaptations have become a part of our journey, and your music has been incredibly therapeutic for us both.

While I love all your songs, I feel a particularly deep connection to "Clean" from the 1989 album. Though the song is about someone recovering from addiction, I relate to it differently. Every day, I feel like I'm struggling with myself. As a quadriplegic with vocal cord paralysis, I often feel like, "The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing." Despite this, I continue to fight for my voice and my strength, and your music has been the soundtrack to that fight.

I am beyond excited to attend The Eras Tour in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024. I would feel incredibly grateful and like the luckiest person in the world if you chose me to receive the hat giveaway during your performance of "22."

My journey as a Swiftie began the moment I first heard "Love Story" from the Fearless album. Being your fan has always held a special place in my heart, and that bond only grows stronger with every album and every year.

Your music has had an immeasurable impact on my life. It’s been my steadfast companion, helping me through both triumphs and challenges. Your ability to turn heartbreak into empowerment has guided me through my own moments of heartache, resilience, and personal growth. It would be a dream come true to receive the hat during the "22" performance, symbolizing everything your music has given me.

Thank you for everything you do. Your art truly transforms lives. @taylorswift @taylornation @universalmusiclegends @universalmusic @universalmusic

Imagine a life altering moment that takes away your voice, your mobility, your movement and everything you once knew yet sparks a fire inside you to fight back. That’s my story and you've been the soundtrack to every step of my life. Taylor @taylorswift @taylornation I hope you can help me bring the magic back my voice and kindly record the song and sing it. I really appreciate it 💖😘 

Dear Taylor Swift, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Kelly Sagiv, and I’ve been a huge fan of your music for as long as I can remember. Your songs have always spoken to me on such a deep level, and they’ve been a source of strength and inspiration throughout my life. @taylorswift @taylornation @tswiftdaily @taylorswiftstyle @taylor-swiftfacts

I recently wrote a song about my personal journey, which I’d love to share with you. At ten years old, my life was forever changed by a car accident that left me quadriplegic and unable to speak. Despite everything, I found strength in my struggles and have been fighting every day to reclaim my life and my voice.

This song is a reflection of that journey—a story of resilience, determination, and hope. Your music has been a guiding light for me, and I thought you might appreciate hearing how it influenced and inspired this piece.

Unfortunately, I’m unable to sing the song myself, so I was hoping that you might consider taking a look at it, perhaps even editing it to make it sound amazing and fabulous. If it resonates with you, it would mean the world to me if you could record it and bring it to life with your voice.

@taylorswift @taylornation Thank you for all that you do. Your music has touched so many lives, including mine, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.

Wishing you all the best,

Kelly Sagiv

Verse 1: I was born into a world of light, A voice so loud, a life so free. Ten years of joy, ten years of dreams, But fate had other plans one fateful day, A crash, a moment, everything stripped away.

Pre-Chorus: But I won’t break, I won’t give in, A fighter’s soul burns deep within. From the shadows, I’ll rise again, Through the pain, I find my strength.

Chorus: I’m a warrior, I stand tall, Through every tear, I break the wall. Blink by blink, I claim my ground, In the silence, I’m profound. I’ve got the fire, I’ve got the fight, I’m a storm, a force, pure might. I won’t back down, I won’t retreat, In my veins, the battle beats.

Verse 2: Therapy days, battles to win, Fighting to move, to feel again. Mouthing words, no voice to share, But in my heart, I’m loud and clear.

Pre-Chorus: I won’t give up, I’ll stand my ground, In every challenge, strength is found. With every breath, I push ahead, Through the storm, I’m never dead.

Chorus: I’m a warrior, I stand tall, Through every tear, I break the wall. Blink by blink, I claim my ground, In the silence, I’m profound. I’ve got the fire, I’ve got the fight, I’m a storm, a force, pure might. I won’t back down, I won’t retreat, In my veins, the battle beats.

Bridge: Every scar’s a mark of pride, Proof that I’ve fought and never died. In every fall, I rise up higher, In the flames, I’m the fire. No chains can hold, no fear can bind, In my soul, a warrior’s mind.

Chorus: I’m a warrior, I stand tall, Through every tear, I break the wall. Blink by blink, I claim my ground, In the silence, I’m profound. I’ve got the fire, I’ve got the fight, I’m a storm, a force, pure might. I won’t back down, I won’t retreat, In my veins, the battle beats.

Outro: Unshakable, I’m unchained, Through every storm, my strength’s retained. No defeat, just victory clear, This is my roar, for all to hear. With every breath, I seize the day, In every fight, I pave my way.

The world is an enchanting place, filled with a harmonious blend of strength and gratitude. 💖💕💞💕💕💞💕💖💖

Dear Taylor Alison Swift, @taylorswiftsdaily

I hope all is well with you. I wrote you this letter, I hope you find a way and get to read it. My name is Kelley Sagiv. I just wanted to express my deep admiration for YOU, Taylor Swift. You have been a source of inspiration and have played a significant role in helping me through difficult times.

When I was ten years old, my family and I decided to take a road trip to Florida to celebrate Passover with my extended family members. On Saturday, April 12, 2003, we embarked on a road trip from Brooklyn, NY, to Florida. When we arrived in South Carolina on Sunday, April 13, 2003, I asked my mother, "What time is it?" She said, "It's 1:30 p.m., Kelly," and my whole world changed in an instant. Tires were screeching, and horns were blowing, but I did not hear anything. I was ejected along with my father, sister Lily, twin sister Ashley, and two dogs from the SUV. Luckily, an off-duty nurse was driving behind our vehicle at the time. I had a brainstem injury what led me to became quadriplegic and vocal cords paralysis.          

Life, as we both know, paints its canvas with both triumphs and tribulations. Through the highs and lows, your melodies have resonated with the echoes of my heart, serving as a sanctuary during moments of uncertainty and despair. @taylorswift @taylornation

My sister Lily and I share a unique bond, forged not only in the crucible of paralysis but more profoundly, in our shared love for you, Taylor Swift music. We've playfully altered lyrics, adapting words to resonate with our own experiences. In the album Fearless, Taylor Swift sing, "You Belong With Me, She wears high heels, I wear sneakers, She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers, and we added I'm on a wheelchair." A playful twist capturing the spirit of our shared journey. We also frequently create videos where we recite the bridge sections of Taylor Swift songs. Lily and I both find Your music to have a therapeutic effect.

I love all your songs, but I truly relate more to the song "Clean" from the 1989 album. I know "Clean" is about someone getting clean and recovering from drugs, which doesn’t apply to me, but I relate to the lyrics in a different way. Every day, I feel like I'm struggling with myself. Being quadriplegic and having vocal cord paralysis, I constantly feel like, "The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing."

In 2016, a Friday night marked the onset of symptoms—coughing up green phlegm and difficulty breathing. Hospitalized and diagnosed with pneumonia, all I craved in solitude was the comfort of your music. My sister Lily, understanding the healing power of your lyrics, joined me, and together we playfully adapted "Clean" to capture the moment. 

All I wanted to do was change another lyric to Taylor’s song; Lily and I decided to change the lyrics to "Clean," "The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing," and I added, "Medicine drips; now I could finally breathe!" A week later, discharged from the hospital, your music became the melody of my recovery.

Your lyrics are not just verses; they are profound reflections of the human experience. As you sing in "All Too Well," "Time won't fly; it's like I'm paralyzed by it. I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it." This sentiment resonates deeply with me—I, too, am on a journey to rediscover and love myself again, to reclaim the person I was before my accident. @taylorswift

Taylor, your music has been my refuge and a conduit for self-expression when words failed. Your ability to transmute heartbreak into power has guided me through moments of heartache, resilience, and growth. "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby" mirrors the vulnerability I've known, your music reflecting my path of self-discovery. @longlovelive @tswiftdaily

There are instances when I get the sensation that I am conversing with a ghost who is there in the room while I am talking to myself. My mood swings fluctuate like a scale that fluctuates up and down. It's never consistent. My critical internal monologue tells me that I am ugly, fat, hopeless, and worthless, and have a big, unsightly nose. It also tells me that I am obese. In my opinion, there will never be anyone who wants to be with me. In my mind, I think that my friends only spend time with me because they feel sorry for me and want to make me feel better about myself. I feel like this is the only reason they hang out with me. I know it’s not true. I know that they really love me and want to hang out me. It’s only my brain making up these thoughts, but I can’t help but feeling like this. Sometimes I get the impression that no one appreciates my personality or the kind of person I am. I get the feeling that I am "always" the problem, much like how Taylor Swift referred to herself in the song "Anti Hero" from her album "Midnights," saying "It's me, Hi!" I'm the problem; it's me, it's me, hi! I'm the problem; it's me. Everybody agrees. I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror. It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero." @taylornation @taylor-swiftfacts

In the darkest corners of my existence, your songs became beacons of hope. Your words inspired me to fight through adversity, to never lose sight of the strength within. "I best believe I'm still bejeweled. When I walk in the room, I can still make the whole place shimmer" encapsulates the essence of standing tall despite the storms.

Most of my life, I've been embarrassed about my appearance, and sometimes I feel like everyone around me is "gorgeous on the inside and outside." While I'm like the ugly duckling of the wicked west, who has no regard for her own appearance because she believes she’s to worthless, unattractive, useless, and fat to everyone around her, according to her, she does not believe she is worthy as a person and will never find true love. The more I look around, the more I find myself feeling jealous of what other people are doing in my environment that I am not able to do. When I see people doing everything, they want without depending on anyone, I become emotional, teary-eyed, and depressed. I believe in my heart that they live a better life than I do. They do not need to rely on anyone for assistance, as I do. When I am among other people, sometimes I feel like saying, "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby." "And I'm a monster on the hill." Mentioned in the song, “Anti- Hero” by Taylor Swift from her “Midnights” album.  @taylorswiftstyle

Unfortunately, scalpers purchased most of the tickets, and each ticket is triple the price! Wheelchair-accessible tickets cost more than regular tickets. I find it disgusting and unpleasant. I feel like scalpers bought the wheelchair accessible tickets on the floor and then changed the price for each wheelchair accessible ticket by quadrupling the price. They take advantage, and it’s disgraceful! I needed to purchase at least 5 tickets, and each ticket costs $2700, and that doesn't include the tax fees.

I purchased tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert in April and planned on coming to the concert on Sunday, May 28 at MetLife Stadium; however, about on April 14, 2023, I got a major infection and was hospitalized for a month. I became septic from a UTI, and the infection spread to my lungs, and I got double pneumonia. 

As I navigate life's twists and turns, I am profoundly grateful for the gift of your artistry. Your ability to capture the complexity of human emotions has made you a timeless beacon of strength and vulnerability. During moments of uncertainty, when life threw unexpected twists my way, your lyrics provided comfort and understanding. "Shake It Off" became an anthem, a reminder to dance through difficulties and let go of what I couldn't control.

On a ventilator, fighting to breathe, your music played on repeat, providing a steady rhythm in moments where breathing became a fight. Your resilience once again became a guiding light, illuminating a path of optimism and hope.

My sister Lily constantly played Taylor Swift's music on repeat or on shuffle with all her albums, knowing how much her music filled my heart. In the hospital, my sister Lily even made posters to put on my wall saying, "Shake it off, shake it off!"

On May 6th, I was discharged from the hospital, but unfortunately, I had to stay in Florida for my recovery. Unfortunately, I was unable to travel to New York to attend The Eras Tour.

I was depressed and heartbroken when I had to miss the eras tour in MetLife Stadium. I felt my world was over I experienced a profound sense of despair, sorrow, and anguish. I wasn't sure if I would ever get the opportunity again to attend The Eras Tour. But Taylor Swift, you filled me with renewed optimism when you revealed that you would be including additional shows in Miami, Florida on October 18, 19, and 20. I was filled with immense joy and a sense of elation. 

I was extremely delighted to learn that you have included additional Eras Tours in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024. I successfully obtained a pre-sale code and received it. However, when I attempted to enter the queue waiting room half an hour before the ticket sale began, I encountered an issue and was unable to access the room. For an hour, it wasn’t working for me. At 3:45 p.m., I was finally able to enter the queue waiting room, but I found myself 8,000 spots behind everyone else. When it was my turn, every ticket that I was about to buy said that someone had already beaten me to those tickets. Each time I attempted, it consistently provided me with the same response. Sadly, I couldn’t purchase any tickets.

I understand that being a verified fan does not guarantee the purchase of tickets. Unfortunately, Ticketmaster did not offer any tickets that were accessible for individuals with disabilities. I am deeply disappointed by Ticketmaster's decision to not offer any ADA-accessible tickets. It is truly disheartening and unacceptable.

I am having the same issues that I previously had to try to purchase Taylor Swift tickets. The scalpers and other people are selling Taylor Swift tickets to The Eras Tour in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024, each ticket is selling for $5000+. I’m trying everything I can think of to be at The Eras Tour in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024. I would be so grateful and feel like the luckiest person in the world if you would pick me to receive the hat giveaway during the performance of the song "22" and give it to me. I am going to be at the Eras Tour in Miami, no matter what. If I must spend thousands of dollars for each ticket, then that’s what I will do.

My transformation into a Swiftie began when I first heard "Love Story," a song from the Fearless album. Being a Swiftie has always been dear to my heart, and it only gets stronger with every passing day or year.

Taylor, your impact on my life is immeasurable. Your music has been a steadfast companion, a testament to the transformative power of art. I extend my deepest gratitude for the strength, inspiration, and solace your music has gifted me.

I wish that we were friends in person. I wish that we talk and tell each other everything. I want to learn everything from you. I want to learn how to be more confident in myself, how to love myself, and how to be a greater person. I would be so grateful and feel like the luckiest person in the world if you could pick me to receive the hat during the performance of the song "I’m feeling 22" and give it to me. I didn’t purchase tickets for the Eras Tour in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024. But no matter what I need to do, I’ll be present at the eras tour on Sunday, October 20,2024, in Miami.

Thank you for being a source of inspiration, a constant presence in my life. I eagerly anticipate the day when I can attend one of your performances, not just as a fan, but as someone whose life has been profoundly touched by your art.

I am quadriplegic and have vocal cord paralysis, but I still know how to shake it off! And dance like a disco ball who is always shining bright like a shimmery diamond.

Thank you for being a source of inspiration, a constant presence in my life. I eagerly anticipate the day when I can attend one of your performances, not just as a fan, but as someone whose life has been profoundly touched by your art.

Thank you, Taylor Swift, for taking the time to read my letter; I respectfully await your reply, as this is extremely important to me. @taylorswift @taylornation

With heartfelt gratitude,

To Whom It May Concern

Hi there, I'm Kelley Sagiv, a quadriplegic with vocal cord paralysis. I'm reaching out to you via email today, seeking your assistance. I noticed that @taylorswift released a holiday collection and I was really excited to take a look at it.  I came across a Clean Denim Jacket from 1989 (Taylor's Version) that is currently being sold on the website. I love the denim jacket. I have a profound admiration for all of Taylor Swift's songs, but I feel a personal connection with the song "Clean" from her 1989 album that goes above words. I understand that "clean" is primarily about someone overcoming drug addiction, which may not directly relate to my own experiences. However, I find a personal connection to the lyrics in a unique manner. @taylorswift Every day, I face internal challenges that test my strength. Being quadriplegic and having vocal cord paralysis, I constantly feel like, « The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing. » But deep within me, there is a fire that refuses to be extinguished. That's why the song "CLEAN" holds great significance for me. @taylorswift @taylornation @taylornationonline

I was really excited about getting the 1989 (Taylor's Version) Clean Denim Jacket, but unfortunately, being in a wheelchair all the time due to my C1 condition has made it a bit challenging for me. The backrest completely covers my entire back. I was eager to buy the stunning denim jacket, but unfortunately, the back of it would go unnoticed.   And the entire design is featured on the back of the denim jacket. I have a request that I hope you can help me with. I would absolutely love it if @taylorswift could design a special denim jacket for her album "1989 (Taylor's Version)". It would be amazing if the jacket could feature photos of Taylor Swift and a meaningful saying on the front. I think it would be a truly inspiring piece.   I hope that everyone will be able to appreciate the denim jacket when I wear it! Thank you for your kind attention to my email. I truly appreciate it.

I am a dedicated fan of @taylorswift and her music brings so much joy and love into my life. Her songs resonate with me on a deep level, and I am forever grateful for the inspiration she provides. 💖💗❤️💕💕💘💖💖💞💜💞💓💗 @taylornation

Hello Taylor Swift @taylorswift @taylornation my name is Kelley Sagiv. I just wanted to express my deep admiration for Taylor Swift. She has been a source of inspiration and has played a significant role in helping me through difficult times.

When I was ten years old, my family and I decided to take a road trip to Florida to celebrate Passover with my extended family members. On Saturday, April 12, 2003, we embarked on a road trip from Brooklyn, NY, to Florida. When we arrived in South Carolina on Sunday, I asked my mother, "What time is it?" She said, "It's 1:30 p.m., Kelly, and my whole world changed in an instant.           

The front right tire has blown out. Our automobile rolled over four times and whirled around four times because of my mother losing control of it. Tires were screeching and horns were blowing, but I did not hear anything. I was ejected along with my father, sister Lily, twin sister Ashley, and two dogs from the SUV. 

Fortunately, there happened to be an off-duty nurse driving behind our vehicle at that moment. She called the police, first responders, firefighters, and ambulances to help us despite everything. The police and firefighters successfully located my father, Lily, Ashley, and our two dogs. However, they were unable to find me. My mother was still stuck in the car, so she started screaming, "Where is Kelley?" 

Having heard my mother's shrieking, my twin sister Ashley immediately crawled out of the grass and began searching for me. Even though she was bleeding profusely, she crawled as fast as possible to look for me. It felt as though an internal force compelled her to venture into the forest. It had not even occurred to Ashley that the firefighter was following her. As she ventured further into the woods, she stumbled upon my glasses resting on the ground. Ashley began walking further into the forest, and then suddenly, Ashley saw my body lying in the woods. 

After checking for a heartbeat, Ashley did hear one. However, she immediately screamed, "Why isn't Kelley breathing?" I was unconscious when Ashley smacked me in the face. A firefighter shouted on his walkie-talkie, "OH MY GOD, she has found her sister!” Taylor Swift mentioned this in one of the tracks on her 1989 album, Out of the Woods, for instance. Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good!"

The firefighter lifted Ashley onto his shoulder and carefully carried her away from the scene. Twin intuition is a genuine phenomenon! My mother and an off-duty nurse rushed to where my body lay, and the nurse immediately began performing CPR in an effort to revive me. After a few minutes, she resuscitated me; however, I was still unconscious. "Light! Give me light!" Helen Keller -

Years later, my sister Maggie revealed to me that the doctor had gathered my mother and siblings in a room. There, the doctor presented them with my brain scan, illustrating what a typical brain scan should look like. In a solemn tone, the doctor delivered the distressing news, saying, "Prepare yourselves for a funeral within forty-eight hours." The doctor did not give my family any hope.

In the early days, everyone stepped in to take shifts while sitting by my bedside. My cousin Marlene sent my mom home for a much-needed break. Many years later, my cousin Marlene shared this story with me. It had been years since she had prayed. In her heart, she said, "God, give me this chance to pray and get Kelley back!" She picked up the books of Psalms and immediately began reading. 

She reached a particular section in the Psalms and continuously repeated the phrase, "Vatitpalel Chana." The machines were beeping, beeping, and beeping, so she called the nurse, and when the nurse came into my room, the beeping stopped. The nurse asked her, "Why did you call me over?" Marlene explained that the machine was beeping, and the nurse responded, "It's a busy night, so unless you're certain that you need me, I'll come back during the next rounds!" As soon as the nurse left my room, the machine began beeping and beeping again.

Marlene glanced up at me and asked, "Kelley, what is it that you want?" What is the message you are trying to convey to me? Marlene tightly grasped my hand and pleaded, "Oh God, please bring Kelley back to me." Then the machine was beeping, beeping, and beeping again. I opened my eyes! 

She was unsure if she should leave my side, and she was afraid to yell to call the nurse. The doctors and nurses warned my family about the potential dangers of excessive stimulation for me. Marlene informed me that she was standing at the edge of the bed, vigorously waving her hands and jumping up and down in an effort to capture the attention of the nurses and beckon them to return. She whispered in my ear, "Kelley, please keep your eyes open so we can alert the nurse and get the doctor!" She sprinted to find the nurse and swiftly returned. Upon reentering the room, my eyes remained open. Marlene tightly grasped my hand once more and whispered, "Kelley, the nurse has arrived, and the doctors will be here soon." I will not leave again until they have figured this out!

            One day in South Carolina, the doctors and nurses did not have any idea what was wrong with me, but they decided to put me on my mother's lap.

            After arriving at Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC, I underwent a series of tests, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a few days later. After so many tests, I was diagnosed with a tare of the brainstem, which resulted in quadriplegic paralysis and vocal ford paralysis. Additionally, the doctor discovered that a vertebra in my neck was dislocated and not properly connected to my body. My mother asked the doctors, "Why would nurses and doctors put Kelley on my lap in a South Carolina hospital?" They stared at her with a mix of shock and anger and admonished her, "Consider yourself fortunate that she didn't lose her life."

Over time, I began to receive speech therapy, and gradually I noticed improvement in the movement of my lips. During this long and painful process, I had to relearn my words' articulation and facial movements. I learned how to pronounce two and three-syllable words, which took many hours, days, weeks, months, and years to relearn. 

Regrettably, I have not been able to regain my voice, but there has been an improvement in my speech. Communication remains a challenge for me, as some individuals are unable to comprehend my speech due to their inability to read my lips. There may not be a way for me to fly freely like a bird again, but I have faith that technology will improve to the point where I can once again fly free.

            I never imagined that experiencing a brainstem injury, vocal cord paralysis, or quadriplegia could be so brutal, complicated, challenging, and painful at times. I experience double vision constantly, without any breaks. Whenever I attempt to read a book or any other written material, I find myself repeatedly going back to the same sentences. I feel the need to cry, but I am unable to shed tears from my brown eyes. I have no intention of lying to you. I continue to face ongoing challenges, and at times, I experience thoughts of wanting to end my life. I feel like my life is constantly being tested, and I'm uncertain about when it will come to an end.

My sister, Lily, and I share a special bond as we both experience a form of paralysis. Furthermore, in various domains like sports and music, particularly our adoration for Taylor Swift, we even modify certain lyrics to suit our personal experiences. On her album Fearless, You Belong With Me, she sings, "But she wears short skirts; I wear T-shirts. She's cheer captain, and I'm on the bleachers. Instead of I am on the bleachers, we sing 'I'm in a wheelchair. It is our unique quirk. Taylor is also known as the queen of the "bridge." We frequently create videos where we recite the bridge sections of her songs. Lily and I both find her music to have a therapeutic effect. There is something powerful, talented, brilliant, brave, fearless, meaningful, and smooth about Taylor's music. Many people enjoy criticizing Taylor Swift for primarily writing songs about her past relationships. I disagree with that perspective; in fact, I find Taylor's music to be inspirational. She possesses exceptional talent as a lyricist. Like in her song Clean off her 1989 album, she sings, "The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing." Every day, I don't have a voice, but I feel these words within me consistently. Whenever I experienced feelings of sadness, whether they were connected to my paralysis or the state of the world, I would listen to the song "Shake It Off." I take a deep breath as the song blasts through the speakers, feeling the music pulsate through my body. I can't help but shake my head back and forth, completely immersed in the moment. With a burst of energy, I can't help but scream, "Yes! Shake it off!"

I have a deep appreciation for all of Taylor Swift's songs, but I find that I personally connect with the song "Clean" from her 1989 album on a more profound level. I know "clean is about someone getting clean and recovering from drugs, which doesn’t apply to me, but I relate to the lyrics in a different way. Every day, I feel like I'm struggling with myself. Being quadriplegic and having vocal cord paralysis, I constantly feel like, "The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing."

I find myself getting lost in Taylor's lyrics. She possesses an exceptional talent for crafting lyrics, and I am consistently amazed by how her words resonate with my own experiences and emotions, regardless of the subject matter of her songs. 

As Taylor Swift sings in All Too Well," Time won't fly; it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it." Honestly, that is exactly how I feel. I am still trying to love myself again. I used to be a person who loved life before I had my accident. That person is inside me, waiting to explode and discover the world again.

In 2016, on a Friday night, I began experiencing symptoms such as coughing up green phlegm and difficulty breathing. After undergoing X-rays and a CAT scan, Hatzalah and I went to the hospital. The doctors informed me that I had developed pneumonia because of my previous two-week stay in the hospital. Regrettably, my sole desire was to have some solitude in the hospital room and enjoy listening to Taylor Swift's music. After listening to her music by herself, my sister Lily made the decision to enter my room. At this point, all I wanted to do was make a modification to another lyric in Taylor's song. We agreed to change the lyrics to "Clean." The water filled my lungs. I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing, and I added medicine drips; now I could finally breathe. A week later, I was discharged from the hospital and allowed to go back home.

When such moments come, I discover that I am using my thoughts to wage war against the monsters that are inside me. My continuous battle with depression is something that I am aware of, and I am doing my best to cope with it. Because I don't always feel driven to accomplish anything, it is challenging for me to get anything done at all. My efforts to cultivate a more optimistic outlook in my life have also been a topic of conversation, as have my efforts to achieve greater levels of success in my life. My objective is to transform myself into a person who is more approachable and gregarious than I have been in the past. To get out with my power chair on a nice day, I must force myself to have time for it and make myself go outside. 

My mood seems quite low a lot of the time. I don't feel like doing anything at all, and I want everyone to give me as much space as they can. Please just leave me alone. Having a mental illness such as depression, I know that I cannot stay home and refuse to leave my house for a long period of time. Staying inside my home twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, is not a choice that is beneficial to either my overall health or my general welfare, and I am aware of this fact. Because I don't always feel driven to accomplish anything, it may be quite challenging for me to get anything done at all. There are times when I just don't feel like it. Doing nothing is terrifying for me because then I become like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

There are instances when I get the sensation that I am conversing with a ghost who is there in the room while I am talking to myself. My mood swings fluctuate like a scale that fluctuates up and down. It's never consistent. My critical internal monologue tells me that I am ugly, fat, hopeless, and worthless, and have a big, unsightly nose. It also tells me that I am obese. In my opinion, there will never be anyone who wants to be with me. In my mind, I think that my friends only spend time with me because they feel sorry for me and want to make me feel better about myself. I feel like this is the only reason they hang out with me. I know it’s not true. I know that they really love me and want to hang out me. It’s only my brain making up these thoughts, but I can’t help but feeling like this. Sometimes I get the impression that no one appreciates my personality or the kind of person I am. I get the feeling that I am "always" the problem, much like how Taylor Swift referred to herself in the song "Anti Hero" from her album "Midnights," saying "It's me, Hi!" I'm the problem; it's me, it's me, hi! I'm the problem; it's me. Everybody agrees. I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror. It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero."

Most of my life, I've been embarrassed about my appearance, and sometimes I feel like everyone around me is "gorgeous on the inside and outside." While I'm like the ugly duckling of the wicked west, who has no regard for her own appearance because she believes she is worthless, unattractive, useless, and fat to everyone around her, according to her, she does not believe she is worthy as a person and will never find true love. The more I look around, the more I find myself feeling jealous of what other people are doing in my environment that I am not able to do. When I see people doing everything, they want without depending on anyone, I become emotional, teary-eyed, and depressed. I believe in my heart that they live a better life than I do. They do not need to rely on anyone for assistance, as I do. When I am among other people, sometimes I feel like saying, "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby." "And I'm a monster on the hill." Mentioned in the song, “Anti- Hero” by Taylor Swift from her “Midnights” album.  

I've always been self-conscious about my looks, and now I often feel that everyone else is "gorgeous on the inside and out" as well. I feel like the overweight, ugly, worthless, and unappealing ugly duckling in the wild west. Who claims she is not deserving of happiness and genuine love because of the way she looks? The more I look around, the more I find myself feeling jealous of what other people are doing in my environment that I am not able to do. I find that it makes me extremely emotional, gives me wet eyes, and makes me feel unhappy when I witness other people achieving all they want without relying on anybody else. I have no doubt in my mind that they enjoy a higher standard of living than I do. They are not in the same position as I am in which they need aid from anybody else. When I am among other people, sometimes I feel like saying, "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby." "And I'm a monster on the hill."You don't realize how important you are to me and how much you contribute to my life. I'm emotionally writing this to you. You mean so much to me. Your lyrics are inspiring and powerful to me. Your songs help me get through life every day. You make me want to fight and never give up. You inspire me to remain optimistic about life. Your songs shine brightly and brighten my day. I want to attend The Eras Tour, not only because I love your music but also because I want to be there. I want to be there because your music keeps me optimistic about life and calms my mental health. "I best believe I'm still bejeweled. When I walk in the room, I can still make the whole place shimmer.”

After learning that you had added a show at MetLife on Sunday, May 28, 2023, on The Eras Tour, I waited for wheelchair accessible tickets to go on sale via Ticketmaster.

Unfortunately, scalpers purchased most of the tickets, and each ticket is triple the price! Wheelchair-accessible tickets cost more than regular tickets. I find it disgusting and unpleasant. The scalpers purchased most of the Taylor Swift's tickets and changed the price by quadrupling the price for each wheelchair accessible ticket. I found wheelchair accessible tickets on the floor in section 8, row 1, for $2700. This is too much for me to pay for each ticket. However, I found myself with no other option but to purchase tickets for the Eras Tour. Regrettably, I developed sepsis because of a urinary tract infection (UTI), and subsequently contracted pneumonia. I was required to use a ventilator for a duration of one week, and in total, my hospital stay lasted for 22 days. I was discharged from the hospital on May 6, 2023. It was a hard recovery, so I was not able to fly down to NYC with my sister Lily.

I am extremely delighted to learn that you have included additional Eras Tours in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024. I successfully obtained a pre-sale code and received it. However, when I attempted to enter the queue waiting room half an hour before the ticket sale began, I encountered an issue and was unable to access the room. For an hour, it wasn’t working for me. At 3:45 p.m., I was finally able to enter the queue waiting room, but I found myself 8,000 spots behind everyone else. When it was my turn, every ticket that I was about to buy said that someone had already beat you with those tickets. Each time I attempted, it consistently provided me with the same response.

I understand that being a verified fan does not guarantee the purchase of tickets. Unfortunately, Ticketmaster did not offer any tickets that were accessible for individuals with disabilities. I am deeply disappointed by Ticketmaster's decision to not offer any ADA-accessible tickets. It is truly disheartening and unacceptable.

I am quadriplegic and have vocal cord paralysis, but I still know how to shake it off! And dance like a disco ball who is always shining bright like a shimmery diamond.

My transformation into a Swiftie fan began when I heard Love Story, a song from the Fearless album. Being a Swiftie fan has always been dear to my heart, and it only gets stronger with every passing day or years. I respectfully await your reply. As this is extremely important to me. @taylorswift @taylornation

I learned how to pronounce two and three-syllable words, which took many hours, days, weeks, months, and years to relearn. 

Regrettably, I have not been able to regain my voice, but there has been an improvement in my speech. Communication remains a challenge for me, as some individuals are unable to comprehend my speech due to their inability to read my lips. There may not be a way for me to fly freely like a bird again, but I have faith that technology will improve to the point where I can once again fly free.

            I never imagined that experiencing a brainstem injury, vocal cord paralysis, or quadriplegia could be so brutal, complicated, challenging, and painful at times. I experience double vision constantly, without any breaks. Whenever I attempt to read a book or any other written material, I find myself repeatedly going back to the same sentences. I feel the need to cry, but I am unable to shed tears from my brown eyes. I have no intention of lying to you. I continue to face ongoing challenges, and at times, I experience thoughts of wanting to end my life. I feel like my life is constantly being tested, and I'm uncertain about when it will come to an end.

My sister, Lily, and I share a special bond as we both experience a form of paralysis. Furthermore, in various domains like sports and music, particularly our adoration for Taylor Swift, we even modify certain lyrics to suit our personal experiences. On her album Fearless, You Belong With Me, she sings, "But she wears short skirts; I wear T-shirts. She's cheer captain, and I'm on the bleachers. Instead of I am on the bleachers, we sing 'I'm in a wheelchair. It is our unique quirk. Taylor is also known as the queen of the "bridge." We frequently create videos where we recite the bridge sections of her songs. Lily and I both find her music to have a therapeutic effect. There is something powerful, talented, brilliant, brave, fearless, meaningful, and smooth about Taylor's music. Many people enjoy criticizing Taylor Swift for primarily writing songs about her past relationships. I disagree with that perspective; in fact, I find Taylor's music to be inspirational. She possesses exceptional talent as a lyricist. Like in her song Clean off her 1989 album, she sings, "The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing." Every day, I don't have a voice, but I feel these words within me consistently. Whenever I experienced feelings of sadness, whether they were connected to my paralysis or the state of the world, I would listen to the song "Shake It Off." I take a deep breath as the song blasts through the speakers, feeling the music pulsate through my body. I can't help but shake my head back and forth, completely immersed in the moment. With a burst of energy, I can't help but scream, "Yes! Shake it off!"

I have a deep appreciation for all of Taylor Swift's songs, but I find that I personally connect with the song "Clean" from her 1989 album on a more profound level. I know "clean is about someone getting clean and recovering from drugs, which doesn’t apply to me, but I relate to the lyrics in a different way. Every day, I feel like I'm struggling with myself. Being quadriplegic and having vocal cord paralysis, I constantly feel like, "The water filled my lungs; I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing."

I find myself getting lost in Taylor's lyrics. She possesses an exceptional talent for crafting lyrics, and I am consistently amazed by how her words resonate with my own experiences and emotions, regardless of the subject matter of her songs. 

As Taylor Swift sings in All Too Well," Time won't fly; it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it." Honestly, that is exactly how I feel. I am still trying to love myself again. I used to be a person who loved life before I had my accident. That person is inside me, waiting to explode and discover the world again.

In 2016, on a Friday night, I began experiencing symptoms such as coughing up green phlegm and difficulty breathing. After undergoing X-rays and a CAT scan, Hatzalah and I went to the hospital. The doctors informed me that I had developed pneumonia because of my previous two-week stay in the hospital. Regrettably, my sole desire was to have some solitude in the hospital room and enjoy listening to Taylor Swift's music. After listening to her music by herself, my sister Lily made the decision to enter my room. At this point, all I wanted to do was make a modification to another lyric in Taylor's song. We agreed to change the lyrics to "Clean." The water filled my lungs. I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing, and I added medicine drips; now I could finally breathe. A week later, I was discharged from the hospital and allowed to go back home.

When such moments come, I discover that I am using my thoughts to wage war against the monsters that are inside me. My continuous battle with depression is something that I am aware of, and I am doing my best to cope with it. Because I don't always feel driven to accomplish anything, it is challenging for me to get anything done at all. My efforts to cultivate a more optimistic outlook in my life have also been a topic of conversation, as have my efforts to achieve greater levels of success in my life. My objective is to transform myself into a person who is more approachable and gregarious than I have been in the past. To get out with my power chair on a nice day, I must force myself to have time for it and make myself go outside. 

My mood seems quite low a lot of the time. I don't feel like doing anything at all, and I want everyone to give me as much space as they can. Please just leave me alone. Having a mental illness such as depression, I know that I cannot stay home and refuse to leave my house for a long period of time. Staying inside my home twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, is not a choice that is beneficial to either my overall health or my general welfare, and I am aware of this fact. Because I don't always feel driven to accomplish anything, it may be quite challenging for me to get anything done at all. There are times when I just don't feel like it. Doing nothing is terrifying for me because then I become like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

There are instances when I get the sensation that I am conversing with a ghost who is there in the room while I am talking to myself. My mood swings fluctuate like a scale that fluctuates up and down. It's never consistent. My critical internal monologue tells me that I am ugly, fat, hopeless, and worthless, and have a big, unsightly nose. It also tells me that I am obese. In my opinion, there will never be anyone who wants to be with me. In my mind, I think that my friends only spend time with me because they feel sorry for me and want to make me feel better about myself. I feel like this is the only reason they hang out with me. I know it’s not true. I know that they really love me and want to hang out me. It’s only my brain making up these thoughts, but I can’t help but feeling like this. Sometimes I get the impression that no one appreciates my personality or the kind of person I am. I get the feeling that I am "always" the problem, much like how Taylor Swift referred to herself in the song "Anti Hero" from her album "Midnights," saying "It's me, Hi!" I'm the problem; it's me, it's me, hi! I'm the problem; it's me. Everybody agrees. I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror. It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero."

Most of my life, I've been embarrassed about my appearance, and sometimes I feel like everyone around me is "gorgeous on the inside and outside." While I'm like the ugly duckling of the wicked west, who has no regard for her own appearance because she believes she is worthless, unattractive, useless, and fat to everyone around her, according to her, she does not believe she is worthy as a person and will never find true love. The more I look around, the more I find myself feeling jealous of what other people are doing in my environment that I am not able to do. When I see people doing everything, they want without depending on anyone, I become emotional, teary-eyed, and depressed. I believe in my heart that they live a better life than I do. They do not need to rely on anyone for assistance, as I do. When I am among other people, sometimes I feel like saying, "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby." "And I'm a monster on the hill." Mentioned in the song, “Anti- Hero” by Taylor Swift from her “Midnights” album.  

I've always been self-conscious about my looks, and now I often feel that everyone else is "gorgeous on the inside and out" as well. I feel like the overweight, ugly, worthless, and unappealing ugly duckling in the wild west. Who claims she is not deserving of happiness and genuine love because of the way she looks? The more I look around, the more I find myself feeling jealous of what other people are doing in my environment that I am not able to do. I find that it makes me extremely emotional, gives me wet eyes, and makes me feel unhappy when I witness other people achieving all they want without relying on anybody else. I have no doubt in my mind that they enjoy a higher standard of living than I do. They are not in the same position as I am in which they need aid from anybody else. When I am among other people, sometimes I feel like saying, "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby." "And I'm a monster on the hill."You don't realize how important you are to me and how much you contribute to my life. I'm emotionally writing this to you. You mean so much to me. Your lyrics are inspiring and powerful to me. Your songs help me get through life every day. You make me want to fight and never give up. You inspire me to remain optimistic about life. Your songs shine brightly and brighten my day. I want to attend The Eras Tour, not only because I love your music but also because I want to be there. I want to be there because your music keeps me optimistic about life and calms my mental health. "I best believe I'm still bejeweled. When I walk in the room, I can still make the whole place shimmer.”

After learning that you had added a show at MetLife on Sunday, May 28, 2023, on The Eras Tour, I waited for wheelchair accessible tickets to go on sale via Ticketmaster.

Unfortunately, scalpers purchased most of the tickets, and each ticket is triple the price! Wheelchair-accessible tickets cost more than regular tickets. I find it disgusting and unpleasant. The scalpers purchased most of the Taylor Swift's tickets and changed the price by quadrupling the price for each wheelchair accessible ticket. I found wheelchair accessible tickets on the floor in section 8, row 1, for $2700. This is too much for me to pay for each ticket. However, I found myself with no other option but to purchase tickets for the Eras Tour. Regrettably, I developed sepsis because of a urinary tract infection (UTI), and subsequently contracted pneumonia. I was required to use a ventilator for a duration of one week, and in total, my hospital stay lasted for 22 days. I was discharged from the hospital on May 6, 2023. It was a hard recovery, so I was not able to fly down to NYC with my sister Lily.

I am extremely delighted to learn that you have included additional Eras Tours in Miami on Sunday, October 20, 2024. I successfully obtained a pre-sale code and received it. However, when I attempted to enter the queue waiting room half an hour before the ticket sale began, I encountered an issue and was unable to access the room. For an hour, it wasn’t working for me. At 3:45 p.m., I was finally able to enter the queue waiting room, but I found myself 8,000 spots behind everyone else. When it was my turn, every ticket that I was about to buy said that someone had already beat you with those tickets. Each time I attempted, it consistently provided me with the same response.

I understand that being a verified fan does not guarantee the purchase of tickets. Unfortunately, Ticketmaster did not offer any tickets that were accessible for individuals with disabilities. I am deeply disappointed by Ticketmaster's decision to not offer any ADA-accessible tickets. It is truly disheartening and unacceptable.

I am quadriplegic and have vocal cord paralysis, but I still know how to shake it off! And dance like a disco ball who is always shining bright like a shimmery diamond.

My transformation into a Swiftie fan began when I heard Love Story, a song from the Fearless album. Being a Swiftie fan has always been dear to my heart, and it only gets stronger with every passing day or years. I respectfully await your reply. As this is extremely important to me. @taylorswift @taylornation

If you are a c1/c2 how come you don’t have a ventilator?

The doctors said that I'm a miracle and how i am able to breathe on before because they never saw it before.

Why are your vocal cords paralyzed?

I was in a car accident 20 year ago with my family. I have a brainstem injury, which led me to become quadriplegic. The brainstem signal your brain to control your mobility, language, muscles and your vocal cords. so that Is how I have vocal cords paralysis.

@ticketmaster @taylorswift @taylornation Hi, I am quadriplegic, and my sister is paraplegic. I was a verified fan for the ERA’s tour. When I logged into my Ticketmaster account, I was not able to join the queue, and Ticketmaster wasn't working. When I finally got in the queue for every ticket that I tried to buy, it told me that "someone already beat you to it." Unfortunately, there were no tickets left, and I didn’t see any accessible seating while looking for tickets at Ticketmaster. I was ecstatic to hear Taylor would be performing in Miami, where I live. How do I purchase ADA tickets on the floor for the ERAs tour on October 20, 2024?Sincerely, Kelly (a die-hard Swiftie) @taylorswift @taylornation

A frustrated Swiftie!!!

Hi, I’m super bummed. I got lucky with receiving the ERA’s tour verified fan. However it took a while till I was able to log in and upon getting in every time I tried to get tickets it disappeared. This isn’t fair. I’m a quadriplegic and I wasn’t even able to purchase ADA tickets. I understand that not everyone is guaranteed tickets but as someone with a disability, How is this fair. Please I should be able to attend a concert without having to deal with this added stress. How is it that ADA needing people always get the crap end of this? Please help me. @taylorswift @ticketmastermerchandisestor-blog
