My First American Concert

The dictionary defines the word fangirl as an obsessive female fan. But if you ask me for the definition of this term, I'll give you a one-word answer and that one word will be my name. I have always been obsessed with musical boy bands. I can name a few of them like Jonas Brothers, Big Time Rush, One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer, BTS and GOT7. While I'm naming these boy bands, I can assure you that I know everything about the members of these six boy bands from their date of births to their favorite colors. So, when I got the chance to go to the Jonas Brothers' concert in Columbus last week all I could think of was the distress that I was in when they broke up and the happiness that I felt when they came back together never even imagining that I’ll get to see them in person. It was a dream of mine.

The concert was on September 5, 2019 in the Schottenstein Center in Columbus. My roommate and I reached the venue a bit late because I wasn't feeling well and the car ride wasn't that comfortable either but we came just in time for the opening act, Bebe Rexha. She was amazing as always. The fact that western artists especially boy bands aren't that famous in Pakistan was one of the reasons why I was so surprised to see so many Jonas Brothers' fans in one place. I kept getting shocked whenever I saw someone wearing their merch. And as of me, I had all the set-list memorized already so I was prepared for everything that they were going to perform. One of my biggest fears is to embarrass myself while dancing and singing in front of other people and that night was one of the nights when I was drunk on music and danced like nobody was watching.

All three of them were amazing, they never let the energy in the room go down, the lighting was great and the whole concert was very well-managed. The fact that Jonas Brothers reunited after six years and I got to see them will always remain one of the highlights of my time here in United States.My dream actually came true.
