| DD is 9 and is invited to attend a Taylor Swift concert. I am debating if this is too young. Even though TS's music is ok for kids this age, I don't know about concerts. I'm sure there will be 3yo's there but I feel hesitant. I feel like kids should be at least 13. What's everyone's experience with concerts and this age? Thanks! |

The right age for child to attend is 13. |

| Is she going alone with a friend, or will there be parents attending? I went to my first concert with my parents at 5 years old (Merriweather Post), and was allowed to go on my own with friends around 13 or 14. There were lots of concerts with parent chaperones before I was 13. |

| from OP - I should have said that parents are going. Including me. But I just wonder if this is too mature or extravagant for a 9 year old. The group is taking a limo! |

| Without parents, 14 or 15. With, 9 or 10. |

| I bet there will be a lot of 9-year olds there. |

You know what's funny? I read just the title of your post, and before opening to read the body I thought "9? 7! 7 is old enough" and then saw your kid is 9.
Here's the thing: a Taylor Swift concert will attract lots and lots of girls, and a few supportive husbands/fathers/boyfriends. There won't be any element of danger, aside from getting lost in the crowd. Go. Bring earplugs for everyone. |

| She won't appreciate it as much as a 12 year old might, but it still sounds like a grand time. It's good that you're going with her. That's what I would do. |

| I am taking my 9 year old daughter to the concert. Never crossed my mind she would be too young for it. |

| My 9 year old is going with one parent. She's really looking forward to it. I have no concerns at all. |

People. Those tickets went on sale in December. Guess you're headed to StubHub.
Taylor is one step above Disney. By 13, she'll be past that phase. Let her go. |

I'm taking my 7-y-o to this concert. There are other concerts I wouldn't take her to, but I figure a Taylor Swift show will be geared toward young female fans, there probably isn't a safer concert environment.
(I went to my first concert -- Shaun Cassidy -- at 9.) |
