Up at 3 A.M. for Niall Horan on the TODAY show

This past week showed me that 13-year-old me still isn’t over One Direction. Heck, 20-year-old me is still wholeheartedly obsessed and willing to get up before the sun does just to get a glimpse of any one of the boys.

NYC: The city of concert dreams and endless music opportunities – Ed Sheeran on GMA

This past summer I spent countless hours trying to win Ed Sheeran tickets in Minnesota. I entered every contest on Twitter (sending out tweets like “don’t have me ‘Ed Tearin,’ send me to Ed Sheeran”) … I called into radio stations every hour when they had tickets … I basically jumped at any opportunity that presented itself. I wanted so badly to be at Ed … Continue reading NYC: The city of concert dreams and endless music opportunities – Ed Sheeran on GMA

From the heart of Times Square
