Center name change imminent Women’s Outreach to become more inclusive PAGE JONES

news managing editor @pageousm

The OU Women’s Outreach Center will change its name to the Gender & Equality Center on Jan. 1.

The center is changing its name to reflect the work the center does with OU’s LGBTQ community and to make the center more inclusive, according to a press release.

Kathy Moxley, director of the

center, said she hopes students who needed the center’s services but did not feel they could come to the center because of the word women in the title will feel encouraged to use the center.

Men participate in all of the center’s services, so the name change is not just to serve the center’s work with the LGBTQ community, Moxley said.

The services currently provided by the Women’s Outreach Center will not change, but they have not ruled out adding new services, Moxley said.

The center plans to unveil a new

logo to match the name change after students come back from winter break, according to the release.

Association to promote social work awareness BRIANNA SIMS news reporter @briannana18

A small student organization is working with underprivileged and abused children and oppressed groups in order to promote social work awareness.

The Undergraduate Social Work Association is an organization specifically for social work majors that brings awareness to the work they do. They advocate for many oppressed groups and fundraise to hold events to support people who need help.

“At the moment, we are in current need of art supplies for a project we’re doing with Bethesda Church in Oklahoma City, and it’s a service for children who have been sexually abused, and they specifically treat children that have been sexually abused,” Julie Nolan, Undergraduate Social Work Association president, said.

Nolan hopes the OU community would help the organization prepare for this event by donating art supplies so children can paint a picture for an auction to be held on campus.

“We would like to get art supplies so the children can paint us a picture, whether it be something they want to be when they grow up or maybe how they see themselves.

We will be hosting an auction (to) sell those photos, so we can donate 100 percent of those funds back to Bethesda so that they can buy Christmas gifts or other supplies they need for the children,” Nolan said.

ANHATTAN, Kan. — Against Texas, Oklahoma’s offense n e v e r f o u n d a r hy t h m.

Junior quarterback Baker Mayfield was sacked six times behind the line of scrimmage. The Sooners managed just 278 total yards and 17 points.

The stor y was much different against Kansas State on Saturday.

No. 19 OU registered more than twice as many offensive yards against the Wildcats than the week before.

Mayfield threw for five touchdowns — before halftime.

“He constantly wanted to know where I was and what was going on,” Nading said. “If I was with guys, he would not be happy with me.”

Nading said that on her visits home he would become angry easily. He never hit her, but he made her feel unsafe. He became emotionally abusive, making her feel bad about things. During winter break, he became detached and began pushing physical boundaries.

When he ended the relationship

several months later, Nading said she was hurt, feeling as though she was not good enough.

Stories like this are a reality for many women like Nading.

According to Love is Respect, women from 16 to 24 years old experience the highest rate of intimate partner violence.

According to the National Coalition Against D omestic Violence, one in three women will be the victim of physical abuse by an intimate partner in her life.

However, only slightly more than half of intimate partner violence is

reported to law enforcement.

Research done by the University o f Mi c h i g a n S e x u a l A s s a u l t Prevention and Awareness Center shows college students often do not report abuse and stay in abusive relationships due to fear of the perpetrator, the feeling of being trapped in the relationship or not understanding the resources available to them.

Group provides musical outlet Fraternity welcomes women with talent of varying degrees MARY SMITH

news reporter @marysmitty21

One of OU’s music-focused fraternities started recruitment in September and is now currently hosting recruitment events until early December.

The Alpha Iota chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota provides a community for women who share a common interest in music.

The fraternity welcomes all, including non-music majors and women of varying talent levels, said Kimberly Rutherford, vice president of membership.

“If you have a love of music, and you want to get reconnected with music, or if you want to grow in your

DATING: Continued from Page One Kathy Moxley, director of the Women’s Outreach Center, said some people may stay in abusive relationships because they are in love with the person, feel they cannot financially support themselves or do not understand that abuse it taking place.

“The abuse develops over time, and there are often periods that are not abusive, so the person feels like the other person is going to change,” Moxley said.

“Many high schools don’t teach about healthy relationships, signs or red flags about an abusive relationship, and so (students) may be unaware that a relationship is unhealthy or even harmful.”

Moxley said abuse often goes unreported for some of the same reasons.

“Not realizing that what’s going in the relationship is either unhealthy or abusive, whether that’s emotional, physical or psychological, not being sure where to report it,” Moxley said.

“Especially if it’s more on the emotional or psychological continuum, it doesn’t feel like a crime.”

Nading, who no longer attends OU, said it took her a while to realize her former boyfriend’s behavior was abusive, and even then, she thought it would get better.

“It was my first longterm relationship out of high school,” Nading said.

“It was the first one where we said ‘I love you,’ and we had made plans for our future and talked long term, so I thought it was a rough patch, and we could get

Rosemary Mahaffey, the group’s editor and historian, was in the Pride her freshman year and was encouraged to join SAI by her bandmates.

“I was a little nervous because greek life had never appealed to me … but they were super inviting, and there was a real sense of community that was centered around music,” Mahaffey said.

I didn’t want to give up. I thought ‘we can make this work.’”

Now, Nading is in a loving relationship with someone who makes her happy.

Thinking about her former relationship makes her sad.

“Looking back now I see all of those signs and wish I had realized it sooner,” Nading said. “I understand how hard it is from the inside to see that it isn’t right.

I see now that I deserve better.”

Both Nading and Moxley said women who are in a relationship with someone who is abusive should seek help immediently.

SAI’s international bylaws state that, in order to be recruited, potential new members must have attended their university for at least a semester, so OU’s Alpha Iota chapter spaces out its recruitment throughout the fall semester.

At some colleges, they have a full week of recruitment activities during the semester, but at OU the organization chooses to space out the events to make them easier and more laid back, Rutherford said.

Nading said talking through things with an outside source can help.

“Definitely talk to someone — anyone they feel comfortable venting to. Actually talking about is something that I found to be very helpful,” Nading said.

to go to one of the last, more formal events, because it’s a good way for both parties to get to know one another, Rutherford said.

Members need to meet certain requirements once they’re involved with SAI, such as performing at chapter at least once a semester and volunteering within the community. The performances, or musicals, are enjoyed because it allows everyone to get to know each other better through the experience, according to Mahaffey.

“It’s enjoyable because I get to hear so many different talents,” Mahaffey said.

On an international level, the fraternity has five music related philanthropies in all that the Alpha Iota chapter supports as well. Some include Music Education Outreach Grant that award grants to schools for music programs and Music Therapy, which provides therapeutic service to those in need.

One of SAI’s goals for this year is to reach out to the community through music more than they ever have before.

Any female on campus is welcome to be a part of SAI, regardless of other involvements. Neighbors is also a

member of the Panhellenic sorority Chi Omega and appreciates being able to connect with the women in both organizations.

“Chi O helps (with) getting involved on campus and meeting people with different majors and all different kinds of backgrounds, and SAI is specifically for music people. It’s cool to get that diverse interaction with two different groups of people,” Neighbors said.

The SAI alumni have a strong presence around the country, and the Alpha Iota chapter plans to establish an alumni chapter in Norman, Rutherford said.

“I have an internship through the Norman Children’s Choir, and my teacher was an SAI … so that just adds a little connection to build (professional) relationships with people all over,” Neighbors said.

CHILDREN: Continued from Page One In addition to preparing for the project, the Undergraduate Social Work Association is working on a T-shirt design, which after finalized, they will then sell the shirts to fundraise for more events in the future.

“We don’t have a specific plan where that money will go yet. What we’re really putting all of our energy into is helping Bethesda right now,” Nolan said.

At the meeting, which are usually held biweekly at Zarrow Hall, the organization usually discusses fundraising ideas, ways to get funds and how to apply these funds to the different events they want to host, Neal Helfrey, social work sophomore and group member, said. “ T h a t ’s w h a t w e d o during the meetings. (We talk about) how to raise funds for events like this so we can raise awareness for social work and what social workers do,” Helfrey said.

The group has been an active organization for almost four years now, and the current officers would like to host events similar to what the previous members held.

“We’ve been discussing doing a larger event that would incorporate more of the city of Norman as opposed to just students at OU. Last year, USWA did a panel of feminism in a red state,” Nolan said. “They just had some ambassadors on a panel and just discussed how living as a woman in a red political state is not very

easy. They discussed different things like name-calling and things like that. We’d like to do something along those lines in the future, but we haven’t gotten to that point yet.”

All of the current funds for the group have been provided by either the $5 membership fee or fundraising.

“We did do a bake sale in Zarrow Hall one time, and it did raise a significant amount of money for the organization. Again, we used that money to further raise awareness to social work and social injustice issues,” said Amber Scarberry, the group’s treasurer.

To further educate students about current social injustice issues, the school of social work is hosting Laci Green where she will speak about feminism on campus. That day, before the event, the group is hosting a pre-rally on the yard with all of the undergraduate social work students.

“We will be raising awareness to certain oppressed groups and showing some

USWA support,” Scarberry said.

The pre-rally will be a part of the Diversity Fair, Nolan said.

The members have researched a different oppressed group along with the different issues they encounter, Nolan said.

For issues so large and prevalent to society, USWA is a small organization taking on the responsibility to educate the public of these issues.

The membership of the organization is fairly small, only having 15 to 20 members this year, Scarberry said.

“It needs a little bit of love,” Scaberry said. “But we’re the ones who are brave enough to take on these issues.”

“We’re loud,” Nolan said.

“That’s usually how social work is: a small group of people taking on larger issues,” Helfrey said.

NEWS OU moves to dismiss lawsuit over painting Resolution being sought for artwork once seized by Nazis ANDREW CLARK

assistant news managing editor @Clarky_Tweets

OU and the OU Foundation moved to dismiss claims in a lawsuit brought by a woman over ownership of a painting in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art Friday, according to a press release from the university.

A statement from the university said that as the suit continues, “(OU) and the (OU) Foundation remain committed to working with Ms. Meyer and others to seek a resolution that meets the needs of all involved.�

The painting, “Shepherdess Br inging in Sheep,� was seized by Nazi forces from Credit Commercial de France, a French bank, in 1941. The family of L eone Meyer, the woman suing the univ e r s i t y ov e r t h e p a i n ting’s ownership, placed its art collection, including “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep,� in the bank in 1940.

The Meyer family acquired the painting prior to World War II.

“If so, they are not in the lawsuit, so any discussions with other parties to the resolution of this matter are irrelevant.�

PIERRE CIRIC, LEONE MEYER’S ATTORNEY

Pierre Ciric, Leone Meyer’s attorney, released a statement Friday afternoon, saying OU’s filing “has no legal basis� and “is certainly not reflective of a constructive good faith negotiation to resolve the case.� “Fur ther more, L eone Meyer and her attorneys are the only parties who can legally negotiate a binding resolution to this case. We are surprised to hear from OU that, apparently, other parties are involved,� Ciric said. “If so, they are not in the lawsuit, so any discussions with other parties to the resolution of this matter are irrelevant.�

The painting was transported to Jeu de Paume, a French museum, after Nazi forces seized it from Credit Commercial. It was then found in Switzerland sometime between 1944 and 1946, and it is unclear how the painting arrived there.

In 1956, the painting arrived at David Findlay Galleries Inc. in New York, and in February 1956, Aaron and Clara Weitzenhoffer, the parents of OU regent Max Weitzenhoffer, purchased it from the galleries. Clara Weitzenhoffer’s estate then bequeathed the painting to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in 2000.

The Meyer family discovered the painting’s whereabouts in Fred Jones Jr. Museum in 2012. Leone Meyer filed a formal complaint against OU in 2013.

The university has consistently defended the Weitzenhoffer family’s purchase of the painting. In a statement on May 14, 2015, it said the Weitzenhoffer family “undisputedly purchased the painting in good faith from a reputable art

dealer.�

Oklahoma state representative Paul Wesselhoft, R-Moore, called for OU to inspect the back of “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep� in August 2015. He wanted to see if the painting had a Nazi Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg stamp on the back of it. “There are two equally intriguing possibilities here,�

Wesselhoft said in a press release. “Either the Nazi ERR stamp is on the back of the painting, or it is not. In either case, there appears to be skullduggery involved.�

The stamp would have served as proof that the university should have known the painting was stolen by Nazis, Wesselhoft said. The absence of a

stamp would have indicated that some party committed a federal crime: OU, the Weitzenhoffer family or David Findlay Galleries Inc., he said.

Ne w s O K re p o r t e d o n Aug. 18, 2015 that the university said “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep� lacks the Nazi ERR stamp. Wesselhoft said the disappearance of the stamp means that somebody wanted to obscure the fact that Nazis stole it.

OU Press Secretary Corbin Wallace was not immediately available for comment.

CALLING NEW YORK By Christopher Kaye

Monday, October 19, 2015 •

SPORTS TEMPO: Continued from Page One “Monday, whenever we came in, we told ourselves — and we all bought in — that we wanted to run this fast-tempo offense and stop pouting whenever we catch the ball and didn’t bring a

tackle, or things didn’t go our way and hurry up to the line of scrimmage, and we did that,” Westbrook said.

Mayfield thought the biggest difference came in the change of tempo. Against Texas, the Sooners were slow getting to the line of scrimmage at times. Mayfield said that allowed the defense to get set, which is why the Longhorns were able to

record so many sacks.

In what he called the Sooners’ “best week of practice all year,” Mayfield said the team focused on building a more rapid offense.

“When we do that, I think I play better faster. I’m able to react and go on the run,” he said. “Our guys like it when we play fast, because the defense doesn’t get set up, and they get good angles

on their blocks and get the ball in their hands quickly.”

Riley said despite the dramatically different results, the Oklahoma offense didn’t do anything different schematically than it has against other opponents this season. What was missing — what caused the Sooners to get off to so many slow starts — was flow, he said.

“I think us getting down

there pretty fast that first drive just gave energy to the whole team,” Riley said.

“You could just kind of feel it on the sideline. You just felt good about the whole thing.

The energy was good. The kids were great.”

As for what the victory means for the team at the midway mark of the season, Westbrook thinks the Sooners have turned a

corner.

“I’m just saying, if we come out with the same intensity we had today, it’s going to be hard (to beat us),” he said.

Corners clamp down on K-State OU defense holds Wildcat offense to 45 passing yards SPENSER DAVIS football reporter @Davis_Spenser

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Oklahoma was able to contain Kansas State’s wide receivers in its dominating 55-0 win.

Actually, the Wildcats’ wide receivers were smothered.

Trailing for the entire game, Kansas State’s offense managed just 45 passing yards, and only one receiver, Kody Cook, was able to haul in more than one pass.

OU cornerbacks Zack Sanchez and Jordan Thomas combined for three interceptions with Sanchez taking his second pick to the house.

The duo was able to shut

down Kansas State’s passing attack, a skill that OU rarely exhibited a season ago.

“When you can have two guys on the edge that can slow down offenses, especially in this league, it’s huge,” Sanchez said. “It lets those guys up front play loose and get after the quarterback the way they did today.”

OU’s defensive front was able to put pressure on the Wildcats to the tune of six sacks. But more than that, having a pair of quality corners on the outside gives the defensive line the freedom and confidence it needs to operate.

“I think the ability for us to have confidence in each other is big,” defensive tackle Matt Dimon said. “That might not have been there last year, and I feel like that’s definitely here this year.”

“On the pick that Jordan had, I turned around and

watched him act like he was the receiver breaking towards the ball. That’s always a good feeling,” Dimon said.

And as Thomas pointed out, Oklahoma’s newfound

flexibility on defense will be even more valuable as the Sooners advance through conference play.

“If you’re solid on the outside edges, they can’t really

throw the ball, and they have make plays in one-on-one to start running,” Thomas situations.” said. “When you’re confident in your corners you can run a lot of zero coverSpenser Davis ages or depend on them to davis.spenser@ou.edu

Team eats, dances its way through delay Sooners turn plane problem into team bonding time SPENSER DAVIS football reporter @Davis_Spenser

MANHATTAN, Kansas — Oklahoma’s preparation for its game against Kansas State, an eventual 55-0 victory, didn’t go as planned.

Scheduled to depart Oklahoma City at 2:30 p.m.

Friday, the Sooners didn’t leave the airport until about eight hours later.

Mechanical failures to three different United Airlines planes plagued

OU’s travel plans and caused the team to spend much more time at Will Rogers World Airport than originally planned.

But by the time the fourth plane arrived, OU players and coaches had already enjoyed a night they are sure to remember for a long time.

“We just talked, and honestly I felt like it was a really good team bonding event,” defensive tackle Matt Dimon said. “We stuck with each other.”

Each player seemed to handle the experience differently.

Zack Sanchez took pictures in front of the exotic cars in the parking lot that

b e l o ng e d t o O k l a h o ma City Thunder players. Matt Dimon was “in heaven,” as he puts it, enjoying a buffet of fast food that was brought to the airport in droves by team employees.

And yes, quarterback Baker Mayfield danced.

“There was the main room with the lobby and then there was a little conference room, and a bunch of players were in the conference room going crazy,” Dimon recalled. “Every time you opened the door music was blaring.”

Sanchez claims the team even got Clarke Stroud, dean of students, to join in on the fun.

“I think everybody got in there and started dancing,” Sanchez said. “It could have been a lot worse, but we made the most of it.”

More than anything, it created an environment that forced the Sooners to come together as a unit.

“The thing was all of us dancing and using music to build us up and bring us together, making us closer as a team and not really worrying about the flight delay,” wide receiver Dede Westbrook said.

As for the spread that was brought in to feed the players, it was all Bob Stoops’ idea.

“It got to where it’s eight

o’clock, and our kids haven’t eaten,” Stoops said. “So I asked whoever who was in the building who had a car to just go out and go to any fast food chain you can.”

“If we have 10 people go out and get 10 of whatever, we’ll have enough food to feed our players. And that’s exactly what we did,” Stoops said.

As for the variety to choose from, it was extensive. Dimon says there were at least six or seven restaurants represented. He enjoyed Whataburger, Sonic and Chick-fil-A. Cornerback Jordan Thomas said he had Jack in the Box, Burger King and Domino’s.

After Oklahoma’s dominating win over Kansas State, some players questioned whether or not this should be a permanent installation.

“That will give (Stoops) more of a reason to keep doing it for us,” Thomas said.

“We gotta have that junk food to fuel us.”

But even in a per fect world, the evening of splurging on junk food could end up costing the Sooners in a different way.

“Our nutritionist is going to hate us,” Mayfield said.

Stoops among coaches to ditch visor for Spurrier Head Ball Coach was early mentor for Sooner coach BRADY VARDEMAN

assistant sports editor @BradyVardeman

M A N H AT TA N , K a n — After South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier announced his retirement this week, effective immediately, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops elected to forgo his usual gameday visor as a salute to his old boss. “(It was) Gus Malzahn’s idea, and I said to my wife, ‘That’s a great idea. Good for him.’ I said, ‘Why wouldn’t I do that?’ As you guys all know how much coach Spurrier means to me and what a great, great friend…,” Stoops said.

“They’re like family to us. He and Jerri and the whole family,” Stoops said.

“I thought all he’s meant to coaching and the example he’s been to all us coaches and how competitive (he’s been) through the years. It’s a way to just tip your hat or salute to him, and I may not have to wear it again. Who knows?”

Greek film screening to offer new perspective Horton teaches that films on everyday life can be impactful JESSICA BARBER

Arts & Entertainment Editor @JessicaDylan16

A film department office with wall-to-ceiling shelves stacked with books and movies, film posters and framed photos scattered on the walls and a TV with a muted film playing in the background surrounds a man reminiscing about his time in Greece.

Andrew Horton, the Jeanne H. Smith professor of film and media Studies, has spent his life researching, writing and teaching about Greek film and culture.

Horton has focused much of his work on his late friend and Greek director, Theo Angelopoulos.

Angelopoulos’ producer and widow, Phoebe Economopoulou, will be speaking at OU for a screening of his film “The Travelling Players.”

“I want my students to see that films don’t have to be sci-fi, blow ‘em up (or) thrillers that cost billions of dollars — they can be about basic things in life, told a different way. Angelopoulos is the perfect example of this,” Horton said.

Horton’s fascination with Greek culture stemmed from teaching in Athens during the 1970s at an American university, where he met Angelopoulos.

While teaching in Athens, Horton worked as a film critic at an English language magazine similar to the New Yorker, he said.

“I would go to all of the screenings, interviewing and getting to know the filmmakers, and it was a case of ‘I was teaching a film course, and no one else was teaching one anywhere in Greece,’” Horton said.

As Horton taught and wrote about filmmaking, he said, “I was able to bring the filmmakers to class.

Angelopoulos would come out. We would sit outside and talk, didn’t pay him a penny, and that’s just the spirit of Greece.”

The spirit of Greece is an idea and a quality that Horton has applied to his own life and work.

“Greece helps you understand the important things — life is short. Might as well enjoy it,” Horton said. “Eat good food. All people who say, ‘You want to live to be 100? Live like they do on a Greek island.’

Eat fresh fruits and enjoy meals with family and friends.”

The importance of the Greek lifestyle and the spirit of Greece is evident in Angelopoulos’ work through his storytelling.

In OU’s film screening of “The Travelling Players,” the film’s flow is different than the typical beginning, middle and end in most films. The visuals also have more weight to them than typical Hollywood films, Horton said.

“The average shot of an American film is about two to three seconds,” he said.

“But Angelopoulos’ average shots are two to eight minutes.”

With the current population not used to shots lasting that long, most viewers response is to either walk out from boredom or to sit in awe, thinking about how different it is, Horton said.

“What I want the audience to see is that we get so tired of TV news and Hollywood movies. Slow down, watch this, enjoy it and enjoy life,” Horton said.

The screening of “The Travelling Players” was Sunday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. in the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History.

Taylor Swift performs during her “1989” World Tour at Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany, on June 19. Swift played a sold out show in Dallas this past weekend.

Swift performance delights GUEST COLUMNIST

Keaton Bell

I

’ll admit it: going into Taylor Swift’s show at AT&T Stadium on Saturday night for her “1989” world tour, I wasn’t a fan.

With most pop divas, I can normally pinpoint a reason for my disdain, whether it’s related to their music, public persona or specific comments. But when it came to Taylor, I found it hard to put to words why she seemed so incredibly grating. Was it her incessant squad of celebrity friends, which she seems to showcase at every turn as if to prove to the world how popular she is? Was it her songs, with their ear-worm melodies and endless replays on every radio station, especially in regards to the hits from “1989,” her newest release? Maybe it was just her personality, which I always thought felt like a PR team’s product of combining the characteristics of a supermodel with an awkward high school student and a cat-loving grandmother.

But as much as I hate to say it, I think I may have officially drunk the KoolAid. I’m in love with Taylor Swift, and there’s nothing you or your mother can do about it.

Although I wouldn’t come to this realization until later in the performance, there were inklings that I was going through this transformation pretty early on. Upon entering the enormous AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, I was greeted by a mob of children being carted around by their mothers, reluctant fathers trying to calm their pre-pubescent daughters down, screaming girls dressed up in their favorite Taylor music video look and squads of muscular gay men wearing tank tops emblazoned with their Supreme’s face.

Even the most hardened music fan would

have to admit that the sight was pretty endearing. The sheer amount of glee on everyone’s faces was palpable, and to see so many people old and young hardly containing their excitement made for a feel-good atmosphere.

The night started off well enough with the musical stylings of Shawn Mendes, a Canadian singer-songwriter. Mendes was followed by Vance Joy, the Australian singer-songwriter most famous for his hit “Riptide.”

With a breezy sound and a charming personality to boot, Vance Joy made for a perfect opening act that only worked to whet the crowd’s appetite.

And when the lights of the stadium turned off and the stage began to light up, the sounds of the crowd were deafening. And there in the center of it was the Princess of Pop herself, Taylor Swift. Belting into “Welcome To New York,” the stage was turned into a mini Broadway production with elaborate sets, perky dancers and a light display that managed to wow without being overkill.

Swift may have completely abandoned her Nashville roots with this newest release, but watching the 25-year-old songstress on stage Saturday night, it’s easy to tell that she’s still the same young woman that charmed the world over nine years ago when she burst onto the scene.

With venues as large as this one, it’s easy for the performer to almost get lost in the shuffle of their own pageantry. But given Swift’s undying devotion to her fans, she made sure to always initiate a connection with the crowd.

There were plenty of grand pop numbers filled with various costume changes and elaborate visuals, such as light-up

umbrellas during “How You Get the Girl” or a set filled with dozens of doorways for “I Know Places”.

But Swift made the smart move to counter-balance these flashier sequences with acoustic performances or asides where she would address the crowd and make sure to let them know how special they were.

“We’re in Dallas on a Saturday night and you’re choosing to spend it with me, right here,” Swift said to the crowd. “If you ask me, that’s pretty special.”

Launching into older cuts such as “Love Story” and “Fifteen,” Swift gave the audience just enough doses of intimacy that played beautifully in a crowd filled with over 60,000 people.

I can even pinpoint the moment I fell in love with her.

Before going into “Clean,” one of the best cuts from 1989, Swift launched into a speech about bullying and self-expression that managed to move even with just the slightest amount of cheese. Summing Swift’s speech up doesn’t do her eloquent language justice, but the overall message was the notion of deciding for yourself what’s cool and never letting anyone else decide who you should be.

I was too caught up in the nearly five-minute monologue that I didn’t even realize I was crying until I felt a tear drip down my cheek.

I then looked around to see nearly everyone around me doing the same thing.

A 20-something guy was wiping tears away with his sleeve, two little girls were hugging each other with enormous grins on their faces and a mother and her daughter were holding back tears as they beamed at Taylor.

It was only after her speech ended and the crowd roared with applause

that I finally said out loud: “Dammit, I think I’m in love with Taylor Swift.”

I loved the way she twirled around stage during “Blank Space,” pushing away men with outrageous glee. I loved that she brought out Ellie Goulding and sang “Love Me Like You Do,” culminating with the two women hugging each other as the crowd swooned. I even loved “Style,” with its delicious baseline pumping as Taylor strutted her stuff down the catwalk followed by a troupe of blue-suited men.

When Taylor launched into her final number, “Shake It Off,” there wasn’t a single person in the arena that wasn’t chanting along and shaking off the haters.

Fireworks exploded, screens lit upand Taylor hit every note as she danced around as carelessly as she would have if she were alone in her room with no one else watching.

To top it all off, the crowd was given radio-controlled wristbands that flashed on cue in various colors to the beat of the music, making the place look like it was being overrun with fireflies.

It was a garish spectacle, with everyone flashing their arms in the air and dancing in the aisles during the finale.

I obviously wasn’t wearing one, though. Yeah. Of course. I think I’ll stick with that story.
