![]() I even knew songs that were played during the encore! They were called Big Time Rush Theme Song and Boyfriend. They continued to play songs from their hit catalog, and I continued to have a blast. The night continued on and it was one for the books. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was actually going Big Time. There were only three people in the world that I could even acknowledge at the time, Kendall, Carlos, and my associate and special guest Maddie because she was freaking out and pulling at my arm. Nothing else mattered to me in the world. For the first time in my life, I could surrender any preconceived notions of who I was, who I am or who I am going to be and just live in the moment. And even though I did not know these men and they did not know me, this moment of connection between us was electric. To say that this was an important moment in my life, would be an understatement.Įverybody in this world has a desire to be seen. The man who associate and special guest Maddie told me was named Kendall pointed at me and said directly into the microphone “Guy in the white shirt, we see you!” after Carlos mocked the gesture I was making. And you would never believe it but they saw it. To show the Big Time Boys my Big Time Merch. The band asked for the house lights to be turned on so they could see all of their beautiful fans in the audience. There was a specific moment that night when I finally started to understand the appeal of boy bands. And when I thought the night could not get any better, they did another classic BTR song. The boys then followed that up with another classic song. There’s a first time for everything, including Henry Levenberg being useful. ![]() Luckily, our editor-in-chief, Henry Levenberg, had a helpful diagram of who was who on stage, including their guitarist, Big Time Kevin. All I am saying is that she was not wearing ANY Big Time Rush merch. My associate and special guest for this event, Maddie, kept having to tell me the names of each member of Big Time Rush as the song went on, all the while accusing me of being a fake fan. I was hesitant to dance or even bop around at this point as I was unsure of the etiquette that was required at an event like this. No, not the theme song or Boyfriend but their classic song. The concert started with their classic song. I felt overdressed for the occasion when I entered Newport, with most people opting for jeans and a graphic tee instead of luxury designer items like I was wearing and had been expecting. Having never listened to Big Time Rush before, I hastily put together a “I <3 BTR” shirt with my moniker, “Big Time Rodgers” inscribed on the back of a white v-neck that was too tight for my body. One thing about this concert that struck me as weird was the lack of merch that I saw in the crowd. That was my first introduction to how “Big” this Big Time Rush Concert would be but it would not be my last. There was a line wrapping all the way around the south high street Starbucks. It was 5:30 PM, an hour and a half before the doors to Newport Music Hall opened. ![]()
