Tom: Fearless 2010
Hey everybody! Well, spring is almost officially here, and we're
currently in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida soaking up some sunshine and
getting ready to play the 3rd show of the Fearless Tour '10. For the
second year in a row, we have the amazing opportunity to open for Ms.
Taylor Swift at some of the largest venues in the country. I still have
a hard time believing it! It was a whole year ago that we embarked on
the Fearless Tour '09, and what a year it was- meeting hundreds of
thousands of fans, winning an AMA, performing on TV, and living on a
bus- crazy. It's funny how things change in life. At first, the change
seems scary and somewhat uncomfortable. You lose sleep thinking to
yourself- "how am I going to do this?" But as time goes on, we adapt to
the changes, and things that once seemed so foreign become the norm.
Now, when I look at old pictures of myself before Gloriana, I feel like
I'm taking a glimpse at a past life, or somebody different all
together. I don't even really remember what it's like to NOT be
constantly traveling! And although I find myself missing the old
comforts- my friends, my hometown, my dog, my local bar, my bed- I would
never trade the experiences I've had this year for anything. I'm
getting to experience first hand the life that I always dreamed and
wondered about, and it's all thanks to the support that you guys, our
wonderful fans, have shown us. For that, I thank you from the bottom of
my heart. And let me say- If you are facing a difficult change in your
own life- whether it be a new school, a new job, or even a new start
all together, try to be as "Fearless" as you can. Embrace change to the
best of your ability and remember- the past is just a story to tell.
The future is a story to write. Till next time...
Tom
