At 51, Savannah clearly knows how to have a great time. The concert wasn’t just about the music; it was about the connections.

The trip wasn’t just about Savannah letting loose; it was a special bonding moment with her daughter Vale, who is about to turn 9 on August 13. Savannah, a proud mom of two with her husband Mike Feldman, made sure to create lasting memories with Vale. It’s not every day you get to see your mom rock out at a Taylor Swift concert, and Vale will surely remember this night for years to come.
Once the concert was over, it was back to business as usual for Savannah. On her return to 'Today,' she opted for a chic black blouse paired with a white skirt, proving that she can effortlessly transition from concert-goer to professional news anchor. The episode featured some delightful surprises, including an adorable interview with Carson Daly’s son Jackson and the legendary rapper LL Cool J, making for a truly memorable day.
Parenting Insights from Savannah
Savannah isn’t just about the news; she’s also a dedicated mom who often shares her parenting philosophies. She’s candid about her approach to discipline, explaining, “I’ve never subscribed to that outdated idea of ‘Wait until your father gets home.’ Parenting is about setting boundaries, even if it means occasionally being called mean. It’s all part of the process.” Savannah believes in teaching her kids how to self-soothe and find joy in their own company, encouraging Vale to express herself through journaling. Vale has developed a love for writing, proving that sometimes the best lessons come from within.
