	Sometimes, once-in-a-lifetime chances are more important than school and you have to take the risk of a hit to your education.

	Or your child's education.

	That is what award-winning Austin-based lawyer Karen Vladeck did when she wrote her daughter a leave-of-absence note to her daughter's 1st grade teacher. You see, Vladeck and her daughter had scored the impossible to get tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
Vladeck shared the note on Twitter. 
\u201cI actually sent it. Let\u2019s see how she responds.\u201d

In the note, Vladeck makes a ton of references to Swift songs hoping the teacher was also a fan of Taylor Swift.

	Luckily the teacher was also a Swiftie—as fans of Taylor Swift call themselves—and the note made her "ENTIRE DAY."
Vladeck's husband's response was less warm, however.
\u201cWell let\u2019s hope her reaction is better than my husband\u2019s\u201d

        1680622506
Other people's reactions were more like the teacher's. 
For example, many other Swiftie teachers said they would have been delighted with the note.

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 As a Swiftie and a teacher, I 100% approve. \n\nNone of my students missed school though. I did. \u201cIt\u2019s me, hi, I\u2019m the problem, it\u2019s me.\u201d \ud83d\ude02\u201d

Many Swifties in the comments got in on the game of references to Swift's songs.

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 Eh, it\u2019s just one day of school; I\u2019m sure the teacher can Shake It Off.\u201d

Other parents wrote in with examples of events they took their kids too after requesting leave-of-absences.
\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 One year when the San Francisco Giants won the world series, we called school to say our two boys would not attend so we could go to the victory parade. The school thanked us for our honesty as half the class called in sick. Good luck.\u201d

        1680622506

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 I once sent a similarly humorous absence note. I was later told that his teacher found it so clever that she forwarded it around amongst her colleagues.\u201d
 — KSV Eras Era (@KSV Eras Era)
        1680622506
Finally, other people commented on the difference between the teacher's reaction and Vladeck's husband's response.
\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 Just brilliant!! Loved the difference between your husband\u2019s and the teacher\u2019s response! From another legal-mummy of a young girl-Swiftie herself \u2026 kudos! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb\u201d

President Donald Trump attacked his former ally Elon Musk in a post on Truth Social after the tech billionaire announced over the weekend that he's creating a new political party called the "America Party" amid their ongoing feud.
Musk has made clear that he vehemently opposes the president's One Big Beautiful Bill—and will work to unseat any Republicans who've supported it, saying they've "voted for the biggest debt increase in history." He founded the new political party on July 5, the day after Trump signed the legislation, which adds roughly $3.3 trillion to the national debt.
