We flew 4000 miles to see Taylor Swift.. NASHVILLE VLOG 2023

[@sophdoesvlogs]

Here is some more info! Tour prices: Graceland tour (there are various different packages you can get): £68 each Country Music Hall of Fame + RCA studio B tour: £40 each Grand Ole Opry: £37 each Ryman Tour: £22 each Hotel was Holiday Inn Vanderbilt Dwtn Nashville & I would definitely recommend! Although it’s not walking distance into town, it’s away from the noise & about 10 min Uber into town. There are some takeout food places nearby & it’s walking distance to a few nice restaurants (Martins BBQ was the only one we visited but there are more nearby!) Our fav Honky Tonks were Lucky Bastards & The Stage. Tootsies is also super famous and has loads of floors! Fav food we ate was Martins BBQ (near the hotel), The Stillery (nice pizza) and actually Hattie B’s Chicken (sue me 🤣). We were told Princes Chicken is the best but we didn’t have time to visit!

[@sophdoesvlogs]

Aahhh love this!!! I didn’t know you were a Nashvillian!! 🥰 I KNOW we got so lucky!! 😮❤

[@sophiemacnair7753]

Awh I love that you remembered meeting us at Graceland! Was so lovely meeting you and what a crazy coincidence! Loved watching this vlog and reminiscing as your trip was pretty much identical to ours!😂❤️ xx

[@sophdoesvlogs]

Of course!! Hope you guys had an amazing trip ☺️ thank you!! ❤

[@mistycuz2011]

I’m not a big Taylor fan at all. But I’m just so excited for you this whole video for getting to see her and when you talked about how full circle this show was for you and your friend. I got full body chills and tears. Y’all are such good eggs 😊

[@hannahmichy]

I LOVEEEEEDDD this vlog. Thanks so much for taking us along! I know how much effort and thought goes into having to record, but it looks like you both were able to really enjoy yourself! I even got emotional you talking about her announcing Speak Now and how meaningful that is for you and Ellie! ❤

[@hannahmichy]

Also just got to your reaction to Speak Now announcements and Editing Soph’s faces 😂

[@hannahmichy]

ALSO pls drop a makeup routine! How is it possible that lasted so well?!

[@sophdoesvlogs]

Thank you so much!! 🥹🥰

[@lifewiththelawsons365]

GIRL your palette is in all of our stores in Florida too! Walgreens is where I saw it first 🙌🏻🫶🏻this video is making me miss Tennessee so muchhhh ❤️love ya and I’m so glad you had fun on your trip!

[@deloracomfort8960]

You are such a pleasant person and know how to have a good time

[@ln8267]

Omg I’m so glad you guys made it there - I went in April and it was amazing! I’m so sad that you guys were on the side of the stage though - missed so many of the visuals!!! 😢😢

[@sophdoeslife]

It’s so fun!!! and I knowww same, we waited in the ticketmaster queue for 12 hours & those were the only ones we could get so thought that was better than nothing! I’m going to try my best to get some better seat when she (hopefully) comes to the UK🙏🏼

[@annaleeftloco]

16:32 did you notice you putting in a picture from Taylor’s koi fish guitar at the country music museum and then the next day Taylor announcing speak now to release on Koi Fish day! Tayception 😌🥰🥰

[@erinlefevre1]

This vlog was put together so wonderfully! I usually get SUPER bored watching videos over like 20ish minutes (adhd is fun) but this had my attention the entire time

[@sophdoesvlogs]

aahhh thank you so much so happy to hear that! ❤

[@amycooper6142]

Loved this vlog! You must have put so much effort into editing this together! ❤ Also I now want to visit Nashville!!!

[@dezzilooo1113]

Wash the merch inside out in cold water and let it hang to dry. That tends to save merch. The stickiness is from a temp glue to hold the shirt in place on the press to keep the item from shifting and making the image blurry. That is pretty normal here in the US.

[@itsmilena_]

Yayyyy, a new vlog and it’s a long one. I missed your vlogs Soph 🥹❤️

[@sophdoeslife]

thank you 🥹💖

[@vickieegan5738]

🙌🏼 a long vlog. So excited. A mini movie

[@JW424]

Glad you had fun in our city. Fun fact: The name “Music Came” came from Queen Elizabeth when she referred to Nashville as “that Music City.”

[@emma-janeturner8230]

im not evan jking this is my almost number 1 holiday i want to go to , im a scottish country singer and i swear nashville would be heaven for me , your so so luckey !!!!!!

[@JuaniCh.]

I remember when you went to rep tour! I'm glad you had a great time!

[@SherriLovesCereal]

AHHH I went to the same show as you!! It was such a wonderful, crazy, love-filled night and it's SO fun seeing it from the perspective of someone else!! The Speak Now announcement was one of the most exciting moments of my life (LOL) and going straight into Sparks Fly and Teardrops was on another level 😂

[@sophdoesvlogs]

Wasn’t it incredible!!! Hahaha I feel you 😂❤

[@bevan1471]

Loved this vlog ❤ Nashville is now on the Bucket list!

[@xCiaraLouisexx]

I cannot wait for Eras tour to come to the U.K.!!

[@katiecullimore5475]

Omg your reaction to speak now is so cute! We went Sunday night and that storm was INSANE but it was the best night of my life!

[@ReptarsaurusRex]

Thank you for giving so much effort to filming and putting together this vlog! It was so fun to watch and I'm not even into Taylor Swift. My favorite thing about this vlog (besides when you edited in your face during the chaotic concert screaming 🤣) was the way you notice American stuff, like the fat car, turning right, and large portion sizes. As an American it's just interesting! Also I can't help but wish we used the word "queue" here. It's just more practical. Instead I'd usually say "waiting in line," which is, imo, more clunky!

[@byroncurrin227]

What a GREAT vlog....we will be going to Nashville next year sometime and now we have places to go....things to do.....your photos/vidoes are such high quality...and your commentary is so easy to listen to...thx...and YNWA...lol...we are HUGE Liverpool FC supporters....sorry if you are not....

[@niamhjoan5140]

Looks amazing! Can’t believe you were there for the speak now announcement! Fingers crossed I can get UK tickets 🤞🏼💜

[@kaylaargueta6931]

this was SOOOO fun to watch! i of course bawled at the eras tour clips, it’ll never not hit me how far taylor has come and we still get to be involved in her career as adults! thanks for sharing your experience in nashville, i definitely want to visit!!!

[@sophdoeslife]

thank you!! and you’re so right I was also crying editing it back 😂 it’s such a fun place highly recommend!

[@April_B.W]

I would have loved to meet you while you was in Nashville. I hope you enjoyed my city!

[@April_B.W]

Omg..:looks like you stayed at the Holiday Inn by Vanderbilt University. We stay there monthly when my dad has appointments at Vanderbilt Medical Center. I’m so sorry I missed you.

[@sophdoeslife]

@@April_B.WWe absolutely loved it! You are very lucky to live there ☺️ and yes that is where we stayed, lovely hotel! I would have loved to have met you too, I will definitely be back 🥲

[@oliviapritchard1297]

Wow this looks amazing! such a well made video

[@khs_94]

Can we please have a make up tutorial for your makeup on concert night 🖤🖤🖤

[@sophiewordsworth2806]

I wish I could see taylor. So happy you both got to experience this 💖

[@lilpeachplease]

this was such an amazing vlog thank you!!!

[@harryyarrow4110]

What an amazing challenge.Taylor loves you two,for that.🧡💜

[@julieg46]

I was not expecting you to have never tasted biscuits before! My husband and I also bring home ornaments when we can find them, but, we also bring back other things that can be hung but aren't NECESSARILY meant to be hung on a holiday tree, which explains the preserved taxidermy pufferfish from Key West.

[@mirandaw2095]

I am so glad you guys had fun in Nashville, Tn. one place you missed was the Castle Gwynn that was featured in Taylor's Love Story video. It is located in Arrington, Tennessee. During the month of May they allow people to tour the castle because the Tennessee Renaissance Festival is happening.

[@emmaweb2006]

Such a great vlog well done i’m so glad that you had such a good time thank you so much for showing us 🫶🫶❤️❤️x

[@my.queens_ily2119]

[@IvyK44]

Loved all the emo covers at that one bar that's cool

[@sophdoeslife]

it was so cool!!

[@lacyogle5957]

I've been waiting for this!! I love your traveling vlogs! Taylor's concert was AMAZING! I went on opening night, and I swear I felt hungover the next day...and I don't even drink. I scream/sang the whole time.

[@sophdoeslife]

thank you so much!! and omg same here, we didn’t drink but also felt hungover and our feet were destroyed 🤣 so glad you enjoyed it too!!

[@juliebobulie846]

I’m so happy you got to go!! N2 Seattle, mother-daughter trip. Cannot wait 🥳

[@RoseGallagher]

I enjoyed this so much! Every step of the way I was loving your Instagram stories and I don't even watch stories normally but I felt like I was on the trip with you! So glad you had a good time. I am bursting to go to Nashville after seeing this XXX

[@taliagreen3630]

[@amelia-dk4yy]

OMG THIS IS SO SO CUTE!! i saw your tiktok and didn’t realize y’all were going to the 5/5 show because I WAS THERE TOO!!!!!

[@Sandycvgx]

I'd love to see Taylor 😍 Happy you enjoyed your trip

[@sophdoeslife]

she’s so good live!! thank you ☺️

[@ZoeDelToro]

ok this seriously makes me want to visit nashville

[@gemalem]

I did this in 2013 and found out Taylor stalks me and got invited to meet her 😁

[@erinlefevre1]

Omg that was the most proper pronunciation of honky-tonk that I've ever heard and I LOVE IT

[@Haesslicherblaubarsch]

Honestly I would have screamed like that as well 😂 I was so happy for you when I saw the announcement knowing you are there to see it 🥹

[@kristenmccormack4813]

So crazy to see you in my hometown!! Small world. I loved this so much

[@amanaroberts1879]

You girls packed in alot of things to do,such fun❤

[@elbearza2310]

I absolutely love this. Also I really liked that you saw your highlight palette in Walgreens.

[@brendadishaw9273]

I'm glad you had a wonderful time over here in the U.S. I live in a state next to Tennessee and have never been there. My Sister use to live in Memphis and has been to Graceland and Nashville a few times. I'm happy you two made it home safe. Love Sophie.

[@sophdoesvlogs]

It was lovely! You should visit if you ever get the chance 😊 thank you so much!

[@supersoline2832]

I love that Taylor used the name James for one of her characters and your boyfriend is called James 🥹🫶🏻

[@CherryBerry48]

wow taylor swift was amazing!! and she dove into a pool on stage?? omg and your friend looks like taylor swift!!

[@michellegtravel]

I love watching people visit Nashville…… great vlog

[@percydoeseverything]

What a amazing experience!! 💜💜

[@taraturner3408]

Omg #Soph it looks absolutely amazing and a really good vibe and the constant looked mind blowing im glad u and Ellie had a wicked time 😊

[@saraheddy4211]

ahhh!!! so glad you enjoyed your time in nashville soph!! I live 3 hours north of there and am so proud that you had a good time :) and omg the giant car thing is so real i drive a mini and my mom drives a car like that and whenever i drive it it feels like i'm driving a bus and i'm always so scared to try and park it hahahah

[@kirstiegog]

I need outfit details!! You both looked so good 😭😍

[@brandiparis5411]

I’m late to this due to work trip but I’m so happy to see you visiting my home state. I work and am from from Chattanooga (known as the Scenic City) which is about 2 hours south of Nashville. But I work for a hospitality group that owns hotels in and around Nashville. If you ever visit again, we would love to have you at our hotels..(I’m sure you won’t see this but oh well lol). Broadway is always crazy busy like that but it’s so cool to see all the musicians playing. I’m glad you had a great time in Tennessee!

[@Ni_kki__]

OMG hope you had the best time Soph! ❤😊

[@priscillavrooij]

From every concert that I went to I bought a hoodie, and that is basically where I live in when it gets colder (I know that merch mostly is unisex which means that a unisex M would more so mean a man M which fits a woman L so that it is bigger is not surprising to me).

[@katygoodall5734]

gah I've missed the vlogs! Would love another mukbang q&a sometime too :)

[@Ohthatamber]

Haven’t been to Nashville in so lovely and this made me miss it 🥹 such a lovely vlog 💜

[@xjoshriverax]

What a cool video! I was wondering if you'd have a tour of the Grand Ole Opry on here, I'm the events manager at the venue and I remember that wedding going on at our upper portico during the one segment of your video - so funny to see that here! Glad you enjoyed yourself here in Nashville! :)

[@sophiefaulkner3466]

I've been looking forward to this ❤

[@lauraj2222]

Loved this vlog! I neeeeeed to go to nashville!

[@lifewithelle.]

Hi Sophie loved your outfit with the white dress and denim jacket. So random but please can you do a video of how you do your eyeliner and what you used xxx

[@mariangela77]

Loved the video!

[@Alice20007]

The only time i wish i had a passport 💔 i hope the tour comes to the UK soon🤞🏻

[@amaanmushtaq6245]

Wish there is more content on internet which teaches girls to be brave

[@Martina9323]

Soph I do collect fridge magnets too and we do get xmas dec from different countries as well ..... i think its a good idea ❤ loved your trip video xx

[@darthbooks2005]

Looks like so much fun watched the whole thing love Taylor swift ❤️❤️ u both looked stunning ❤xxx

[@JJ-zi1xb]

the way i was there that night and had no idea we were in the same place 😭😭

[@IsabelLawson]

So glad you had such an amazing experience, I hope to one day make it to Nashville ❤️ The hoodie looks like it is printed over and to print (possibly sublimation) you need to put something over the black to make it show up and it is never permenant. Cool short wash and whatever you do don't put oxi or stain remover in the wash or it will come right off! She could have potentially have had specially printed fabric made into hoodies but that would have cost a lot more & taken longer to make & not knowing the demand and if they would be left with a lot in certain sizes would have made that a risky thing, these are quicker to knock up. In saying that enjoy your hoody, and even when it fades the memories won't ❤ (I make vinyl and sub shirts for myself, friends, and family)

[@becks3302]

Loved this video😊

[@NineAnutza]

Hey soph. I'm going to Nashville in October to see the jonas brothers from chile and I'd love any tips you can give me, prices if you can like of the tours or anything you can share really. I took notes already from this blog and places you went :) so happy you had an amazing experience ❤

[@halliekate124]

I have lived in Nashville for 9 years and it’s the best!! I’ve been following you for 4 years, so it’s crazy to see you in my city ❤ So glad you enjoyed it!! (I also went to Taylor but on Sunday in the rain haha)

What phone did you use here? 😍😍😍

[@kehnek]

the vlog peaked during the speak now announcement

[@emmajp_7995]

Going to Nashville in July and would love to go to Graceland - do you mind me asking if it was difficult to rent? And was it expensive? Or do you think an organised tour on a coach etc would be better? xx

[@sophdoesvlogs]

Our car rental I believe was around £200 for 24 hours, which was a little more than some of the coach tours we saw (they seem to vary in price from around £150 to £300 depending which company!), it was pretty easy to rent the car, we collected it from a local hotel (we used Avis). I’m sure it probably would have been less stressful to do an organised coach tour! But we quite liked the freedom of having a car and being able to stop off for food/toilet/restaurants if needed. We also thought we might have time to do some more exploring in the car but turned out we didn’t 😂 If you’re a confident driver & want to do some more exploring/have freedom and don’t want to be on a packed coach then go for car, but if you don’t want the stress of driving & want the day to be structured for you, and maybe want to nap on the way home, I would go for the coach! Hope that helps! 😊xx

[@emmajp_7995]

@@sophdoesvlogs thank you, that’s super helpful actually! So looking forward to our Nashville trip now, really basing my entire itinerary on your vlog (just sadly no Taylor!) xxx
