The Budget of Paradox

Sophia,
Are you a Swiftie? I have no idea one way or the other. As you can probably imagine, I am not a big Taylor Swift fan; I’m not really in her target demographic. But I can’t help but notice all the attention and news she’s been generating lately.

I think her Eras Tour is finished in the USA. But I was curious, so I looked. She has an upcoming international tour. In fact, she recently played in CDMX (Mexico City). Reminds me of this post.

She’s playing in Rio de Janeiro soon, but I doubt your mom would let you meet me there. It’s a beautiful city, BTW. I was there last year.

She’s also playing across Europe all next year. A flight to Paris or Vienna wouldn’t be so long. I’d love to have you meet me there if you’re a Swiftie. I’m sure I could find nice VIP tickets so we could have good seats. I’d love to do that with you.

When you were very little, Morey was a Selena Gomez fan, and I bought us special concert tickets so we could meet her backstage. Morey had her photo taken with her. After the concert, we went back to a fancy hotel and ordered room service. That was a nice memory. I’d love to have a similar memory with you, too.

I used to tell Morey: the world is big place. You need to get out of tiny Lynchburg to see it. I promise, you’ll see the world differently after you spend a week with me in Paris, especially if we can get VIP Swiftie tickets.

I love you.

Dad
