Senior Kylie Valade, went to the concert in Chicago, and said it was truly a special moment for her and her friends. “I felt I spent a decent price, given what the concert was and how it was,” she said.

Wurster said she had a great time at the concert, she went with her mom. “Me and my mom both cried, it was that good.” 

On top of Taylor Swift’s tour, Summerfest and other concerts were also a hot hit and the highlight of students’ summers.
