One Direction Take Me Home Tour

You know those moments in life you know you will never forget, well this is one of them.

If you've seen their movie 'This Is Us' you will already know how amazing the Take Me Home Tour is. But I'm going to elaborate on my experience. 

When I walked into Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday night the first thing I thought was 'oh god I feel so old' and I immediately felt bad for the 10 year old girls behind us who probably couldn't see anything.

My two friends and I were seated on the floor only three rows in front of Stage B. I have no idea how I managed to get such good seats, you could literally see the freckles on their faces. It made me 10x more excited!

Australia's own 5 Seconds Of Summer was the opening act. They were really good and got the crowd going. I'm sure there were girls there who only bought the tickets to see 5SOS. However I felt quite uneasy about how extremely tight their jeans were.

When they put the Macarena on, the whole crowd were on their feet. After about 2 circles the screeching of thousands of teen girls (me included) filled the room when boys came out singing Up All Night.

After they sang some of my personal favourites I Would and Heart Attack, Liam informed us all that his Grandfather had passed away on the day they landed in Australia, and that it was the day of the funeral that he sadly couldn't attend. He then dedicated More Than This to his grandfather because it was his favourite song off the album. 

Now to the best part! They started singing More Than this and got on a platform to float over the part of the crowd we were in to go to Stage B. I was freaking out thinking about how close to us they were going to be! I was then trying to figure out how to get one of them to notice me out of all the screaming girls. I waited for the perfect timing, not screaming or anything (I didn't want them to think I was crazy) then, I gave Harry a little salute, just to say hey. My heart dropped when he did it back! Then I started jumping around like a lunatic.

Look closely in this video at 1:44!

I seriously could not believe it. Out of all of them it was Harry! I know you aren't supposed to have favourites, but I have a definite soft spot for Harry.

When they landed, Zayn turned around, I blew him a kiss and he waved directly at me!

They then sang their cover of Blondie's One Way Or Another read out some tweets and Harry ate some 2 minute noodles before they went back to the main stage. Niall could not stop talking about how much he loves Melbourne. He said it is the best city in Australia and that his 3 top cities in the world are London, Tokyo and Melbourne. Won't be long before he buys a house here and marries a local - preferably me.

I was pumped when they started singing a cover of Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus! I was singing every word, but couldn't help hear the crowd was noticeably quieter. I think that song is much before a lot of the young'ns time.

During Kiss You Harry announced "I want to kiss everyone single one of you in this building". Where's the line? I'll go first! 

At the last costume change they all came out in AFL Hawthorn Jerseys. Oh lord I could not contain myself. Two things I enjoy the most are boys in footy jumpers and One Direction. However when one of them yelled out 'Go Hawks!' they were surprised at the amount of booing. Niall then had to explain to the boys that there are more then one team in Melbourne (try 9).

Niall began singing We Cant Stop and twerking while Liam beatboxed. The crowd were loving it. They finished off with Live While We're Young and What Makes You Beautiful. The boys put on an amazing performance, no wonder girls can't help but be infatuated by them.

Bring on their next album, Midnight Memories!
