#as we have renamed the groupchat since everyone came out

[thedreadvampy]

I fucking love my friend!!!!!!!

[midnight-no-headlights]

Reminiscing past tours & I’ve really gotten to see @taylorswift for all tours except the Fearless tour 🫶🏻🥺 Speak Now was my first concert / first tour ever… this era means so much to me 💜

Gillette Stadium will always be my hometown shows:

• 7/26/2011 Speak Now tour (Night 2) — my first ever concert & my first time ever seeing Taylor live! We sat in section 240. I remember crying (happy tears) on my 13th birthday when my mom got me the tickets (like full on SOBBING)

• 7/26/2013 Red tour (Night 1) — my mom managed to get us floor seats in section A (I want to say A4 or A6, or B4 / B6 ?? I actually don’t remember) closest to the B-stage (closer to Taylor than I had ever been before) & when she came down the aisle for “22” I almost got to hold her hand but a security guard pushed me back / out of the way & I missed her by a split second 💔 I’ve never forgotten that moment.

• 7/24/2015 1989 tour (Night 1) — we couldn’t get tickets for this tour originally, somehow a family member managed to buy us a pair of tickets because she knew I was/am a huge swiftie since debut album & in the same week I won a pair of tickets from an XFinity giveaway on Twitter! My mom & her friend used the tickets for section 226 & my sister & I sat in section 111. My phone died that night & I have no pictures of my own from it but I remember it so well because I just got to live in the moment. We got to feel the entire stadium jump with 65,000+ people during Shut Up & Dance with WALKTHEMOON

• 7/26/2018 Reputation tour (Night 1) — I bought 2 tickets for me & my sister, this was my first concert I was able to drive us to. We had an amazing night, I met friends from here on tumblr at the show 🖤 we had section 109 in lower bowl. Taylor had Hayley Kiyoko come out to sing Curious !

• 7/27/2018 Reputation tour (Night 2) — second night, I bought tickets for my sister, boyfriend & I & also surprised my mom with a set of tickets in section 123 (we had section 109 again — no idea how I managed that). We had a blast going for a second night (never did it before Rep tour & I just wanted to experience multiple shows at least once).

• 7/28/2018 Reputation tour (Night 3) — third night I originally had tickets for up in section 310, but my cousin had never been to a TSwift concert before & as much as I wanted to see her for a third night, I felt it was best to give the tickets to my cousin & her mom to enjoy. They had an amazing time & it was her first concert, ever! 🖤

• 5/19/2023 Eras tour (Night 1) — we had ZERO tickets for this tour, even on the day of the show. My sister, cousin & I had always had plans to see Taylor live in concert together at least once in our lives but it never made it out of the groupchat until this fateful day 🥹 we joked about going up to Gillette Stadium to listen from the parking lot (we renamed our groupchat to “G13llette Eras Tour (Parking Lot Version)” ) — but we set out to go up & just have fun, we knew we could listen from anywhere around the stadium. Well, in the card ride up, fate would have it that this scheme would finally take it from the texts to real life ❤️ instead of listening from the parking lot, the universe said “you’re gonna listen INSIDE the stadium”. We scored 4 tickets to Night 1 on the drive up to the stadium, blasting TSwift in the car & just having ZERO expectations that we would even get tickets. My sister never gave up even when I did because of the Ticketmaster fiasco… we gave the 4th ticket away to a fan who had never been before ❤️ we looked like crazy people screaming in the car & crying on the phone to everyone we could call to say we got tickets by some miracle ✨

I’m very lucky to live in a world where Taylor Swift exists, truly 🥺🥹 her music has always been there for me. I’m very lucky to have seen her live on multiple occasions — & I don’t take it lightly how many people cannot say the same. I really hope every fan gets the same opportunities somehow, someway… I know the ticket situations seem hopeless & I myself gave up this time around on getting tickets to this tour; it hurt like hell everyday accepting the fact that I (thought I) wouldn’t see Taylor again after not seeing her in just about 5 years since the Reputation tour. Some fans have either never seen her, or it’s been well over a decade since they’ve last seen her.

April: @QueenElsa

Queen Elsa: Fine

Maggie<3: IM SORRY YOUR WHAT

Other Bekker: ?????

Bekker: We were thinking Saturday.

April: @FreeWilly Did you know about this???????

FreeWilly: uh yeah?

no-ah: Why did none of us know you had a daughter?

Dr. Lanik: I just don’t see how it’s any of your business.

Nat: How old is she? Who’s her mother? What school does she go to? How did we go this long without knowing?

[Dr. Lanik has sent an image to the chat]

Dr. Lanik: This is Emma, she’s almost eleven, and this is the most information any of you will ever be getting about her.

Ethan Choi: Well this has been a wild ride

Other Bekker: now taking bets on how crockett will react. $10 says he thinks its a joke

no-ah: Coward. He knows everything. $20 says he already knew.

Other Bekker: youre on

Queen Elsa: ...Anyways, Connor’s CT came back alright. It’s a minor concussion; he’ll be fine soon. 

Maggie<3: That’s good

Dr. Lanik: @FreeWilly and I will look after him.

Ethan Choi: Just picked up Crockett, he says hi. He also has letters for each of you as part of his process

Nat: That’s sweet

Ethan Choi: I have been assured none of them contain nudes

Other Bekker: thank g-d

Ethan Choi: I’ll be giving them to you all at work.

Ethan Choi: Crockett will be cooking something I won’t even try to pronounce for the housewarming party

Other Bekker: his cooking is all so good...

no-ah: It slaps

Queen Elsa: Is it that pasta thing??? With the crawfish????

Ethan Choi: Honestly, I don’t know.

Nat: Owen and I are bringing cookies.

Bekker: Important question, @Dr.Lanik… will Emma be coming?

Dr. Lanik: No. I don’t want her near any of you.

connor: hes got a point

Maggie<3: Have you never, in your life, had to bring her to a doctor?

Dr. Lanik: We use East Mercy so that you all keep your noses out of my life.

FreeWilly: ouch

April: I mean, if I had a daughter, I wouldn’t want any of you near her either.

Nat: Harsh, I trust you with my son

April: You’re different.

Bekker: Do I hear wedding bells?

Nat: @April What if we kissed in the doctor’s lounge… and we’re both girls?

Nat: Haha just kidding

Nat: Unless…?

April: Did you just hit on me with a meme

Nat: Did it work?

Other Bekker: another win for the gaydies

Other Bekker: THEY BOTH JUST WENT INTO THE DOCTORS LOUNGE JHGFKHFRH

Ethan Choi: Crockett laughed 

connor: do you read these messages to him?

Ethan Choi: Sometimes. He likes to be in the loop.

FreeWilly: hot take but. we could just add him back to the chat?

Ethan Choi: He’s not ready for that yet, but he does like to be updated on your lives and one-on-one texting is stressful for him

Other Bekker: we spend more time talking about crockett now than we did when he was in the chat

no-ah: Sweet I have my Crockett letter

Ethan Choi: I'll put them in your lockers. My shift is starting so I'm turning my phone to silent. 

Other Bekker: Crockett Time

Bekker: Did he write me one?

Other Bekker: @Bekker both mine and yours are in my locker i think. one is for "blonde bekker" and one is for "brunette bekker"

no-ah: That's what he has your contacts saved as 

Queen Elsa: Mine is just a smiley face sticker in an envelope?

Other Bekker: jsyk we should probably keep these private! this is important to him

Maggie<3: I'm so excited to see him again on Saturday, I've missed him.

FreeWilly: He's been busy. I think his program is like eight to five every day but Sunday

Nat: What's that even like?

Other Bekker: they have an in house aa group that meets a few times a day and theres a ton of other support like therapy to get to the root of the problem. i mean before he got sober the first time he was self medicating 

Other Bekker: he does a lot of art therapy i think. when he was inpatient he kept mailing paintings to my wife and i 

-

Curry (Not Dr.): Hey, it's Elsa Curry from Med. Sarah gave me your number. I was just wondering why you gave me a sticker?

Crockett: dont u put them on the inside of your binder? the one u put ur case notes in at the end of ur shift 

Curry (Not Dr.): How did you know that?

Crockett: u pull ur binder out when ur stressed to reference old cases. i thot u might like another sticker so u know ur not in this alone

Crockett: :)

[crickett has renamed the chat "dick bros"]

crickett: @connor do u wanna fuck again this weekend lmao

connor: i thought that was a one time thing

Ethan Choi: It doesn't have to be.

Maggie<3: @Bekker @OtherBekker Sorry I'm running a little behind! I couldn't find my keys

[Bekker has sent an image to the chat]

Bekker: Definitely hurry, we're having so much fun!

Crockett: i think i just need air will you cover for me if someone comes looking

-

Other Bekker: THANK YOU @Maggie<3 FOR ACTUALLY HELPING CLEAN UP 

FreeWilly: sorry!

connor: sorry ahhhhhh i didnt think about it 

Nat: Congrats again, you two, this is huge!

April: ^^

no-ah: Will we get to meet her, or will she be a secret like Laniks daughter?

Bekker: You'll all definitely get to meet her, but let's not do so much at once? Adjusting to a new home is hard, and from what the adoption agency tells us, she's had a rough go of it.

no-ah: Of course! 

Queen Elsa: No little girl could have a better home! Congratulations on your daughter and I wish you really good luck. If you ever need help, we're all here!

Dr. Lanik: She's about eight, right?

Bekker: Yes

Dr. Lanik: If she needs help adjusting, let me know, and maybe Emma and I can help. She was about that age when I adopted her.

connor: the Lanik lore we are getting today omg

Dr. Lanik: You'll both be great parents, and @OtherBekker don't hesitate to let me know if you need extra time off. This is a big deal and you shouldn't have to stress about work when you should be worrying about your family. @Bekker I'll also ask Dr. Latham to be lenient with you as well.

Other Bekker: thank you from both of us <3

connor: who knew lanik had a heart.
