"Madonna, Confessions Tour 2006 at Wembley Arena in London. It was the first concert I had ever went to on my own, as the tickets even back then were so expensive and none of my friends wanted to go. Before it started I went to a shoddy, back street pub nearby and had three pints of beer to build up some Dutch courage."
"When I took my seat, I found a sparkly pink cowboy hat and put it on. Then all of a sudden, the whole arena went dark and a giant disco ball appeared! I danced my 23-year-old a** off that night. To this day I'll never forget it."
