Malala Yousafzai Celebrates Milestone As She Enjoys Her ‘First Ever Proper Concert’ With Husband Asser Malik At Taylor Swift’s Show

by

As a fervent admirer of life stories and resilience, I find Malala Yousafzai‘s journey to becoming a Swiftie truly inspiring. Her tale transcends the realm of music and serves as a testament to the power of hope, freedom, and the human spirit.

On August 17, Malala Yousafzai, a prominent activist from Pakistan, marked a significant personal milestone by attending her inaugural concert—Taylor Swift’s performance at Wembley Stadium. She shared numerous photos on social media, along with an emotional account chronicling her transformation into a Swiftie. Additionally, Malala discussed the influence of music on her life.

Malala attended the concert accompanied by her husband Asser Malik, as well as some close companions. She recreated Taylor Swift’s famous heart gestures, shared colorful friendship bands, and snapped photos in the stadium with Malik and two other friends. In a post, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate urged her followers to remember that not everyone has the same opportunity to fully appreciate music.

Along with images she wrote the caption, “Having lived through a time where music and art were banned, music felt like a gift.”

Malala lived in the Pakistani town of Swat Valley when she was 11 years old. The Taliban controlled the region and prohibited all sorts of entertainment such as TV and music. Schools were also off-limits for girls. However, even under these strict conditions, Love Story remained a beloved pastime Malala shared with her friend Moniba.

In a subsequent part of her post, she wrote, “Moniba and I scaled the tallest rock available, proclaimed to both classmates and instructors that we’d be singing our favorite new tune, LOVE STORY. With every beat, we poured our hearts into the performance, savoring the joy each moment brought. That’s where my adventure as a Swiftie started.”

In October 2012, when Malala Yousafzai was only 15, a masked gunman attacked her by firing a shot on the left side of her head. Exactly ten days later, she regained consciousness in a hospital in Birmingham, where doctors informed her that numerous people were hopeful for her swift recovery and well-being.

Last week, Taylor Swift took the stage at Wembley Stadium, following the postponement of her three concerts in Vienna a week prior due to a security concern. Now, she’s wrapping up the European segment of her Eras Tour, which began at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona back in March 2023.
