Taylor Swift Success ( LONG LONG STORY)

This is going to be a LONG story but iam soo soo excited for this Success.

Taylor was set to play on the German Show “Schlag den Raab” in Cologne on December 15, 2012.
Me and my 4 Friends were the first people there at the studio along with 2 girls around 10am.
A group of 20 People came around 2pm and I believe that Taylor arrived around that time as well.
Around 3pm she came out and signed pictures and took photos with everyone.
The Fans were really rude. Some of them had met Taylor before and knew that we never had a chance to get any close to her but they pushed us away anyway. There was no real line and so it was impossible for Taylor to keep record on who had gotten a picture and who didn’t. Everyone got a picture except me and 3 other Friends (yes only 1 of us was lucky enough to get a picture).
Her Manager gave out guitar picks and I asked him whether Taylor would come out again (she drove away with the car) because I wasn’t able to get a picture and I told him that we were the first ones there. He said “I will check that”. So we kept waiting. Around 8 pm her Guitarist Grant came out I got a picture with him and he signed my RED booklet. He also gave out guitar picks (this time, I got one from the SPEAK NOW TOUR). I had to leave around 9pm because I had to catch my last train home. I had to travel like 3 hours. The Day wasn’t a complete Fail but I was still mad at the Fans that they were so rude . I don’t blame Taylor. She was super sweet and even took the two girls who were waiting from the beginning with us out of the crowd and asked whether they wanted a picture with her.

The only picture I was able to take of Taylor Swift

A Few Days later I decided to Email her Management. It took me a long time to find it out. Since I talked to her manager in cologne in person, I hoped that he would remember me and our little conversation. I told him what happened and asked if it’s possible to get an autograph. I got a mail back saying that they will send out a signed picture after the Holidays. Later on January 3rd I got a mail from a Lady from the Management and she said that my request was forwarded to her and that they were able to get a signed picture for me and she asked for my phone number for the package. I gave her my number and then I got another Mail back saying that they would send it out either today or tomorrow. I thanked her like a million times ….


And todaaay I finally got this….
.they sent it via EXPRESS via UPS (Fed Ex doesn’t directly ship to Germany)
and omg I had to pay
56 Euros (73,43 $) for the SHIPPING o.O ..
I kind of had a little bit of trouble at home because of that. But I checked many many old via venue successes and it is definitely HER handwriting….guees she was running out of the sharpie a little… and her name was written at the edge of the picture so I guess if it was pre printed she would have done it more in the middle right ?! so I definitely think that this is authentic !!!!!! But still I wish I had known about the 56 euros before… but iam still very thankful about this ...they sent it out on Thursday, January 3rd and it arrived today Monday , January 7th !!

This is what I got from her MANAGEMENT !!!

Her Management was with her in Cologne and they have definitely seen her on New Years Eve !!!
Iam sooo happy and thankful about this success but i also want to warn people a little bit ...It might cost you tons of money
depending on where you live to get this

Okay, maybe they won't write anything and send to me hopefully, because I haven't got a response when I sent to them an e-mail twice but I am 100% sure this is the right e-mail. 56euros... I never heard anybody having to pay that much to get the package!:shock:
But it is worth it, congrats:D

Congrats with this success! Its cool that she is personalized pic :razz:
But i don't understand why it cost so much? If you would just sent a request with LOR and SASE to her fanmail studio it would be cost like 2 dollars or some celebs pay for postage, so its free... I don't get a point why this cost so much :roll:

it's directly from her management...so this is not a fake or pre-print
it is definitely authentic !!


if you send her to her fanmail you will get a pre-printed signature with an secreterial personalization ;)

plus they sent it via UPS and buisness mail is expensive
and they picked the option that I HAD TO PAY for the shipping
and that were 56 eruos....since yeah i live in Germany and they sent it off via express mail
