Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,168 --> 00:00:03,920
Yeah.
2
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:11,636
{\an8}That is wonderful.
3
00:00:12,804 --> 00:00:14,681
{\an8}- She likes those higher notes.
- Ooh, yes.
4
00:00:16,766 --> 00:00:17,976
You know what this means?
5
00:00:18,059 --> 00:00:19,227
You're gonna have to get a piano.
6
00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:22,439
- What's that, Mom?
- You're gonna have to get a piano.
7
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:24,107
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
8
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:30,405
Yes. It's wonderful!
9
00:00:30,488 --> 00:00:32,198
That's wonderful!
10
00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:03,229
One, two. C stage, C. One...
11
00:01:10,278 --> 00:01:12,280
That doesn't sound good at all.
12
00:01:12,781 --> 00:01:15,366
{\an8}Once I get a cold,
I just have it for a while.
13
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:17,452
{\an8}They just kind of linger.
14
00:01:22,707 --> 00:01:25,794
Would you like a coffee from
the world's most depressing coffee shop?
15
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,921
Oh, absolutely.
16
00:01:28,004 --> 00:01:31,174
- What do you want? Just cold brew?
- I mean, when you sell it that way, yeah.
17
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:35,762
Have you ever heard of
spatchcocking a turkey?
18
00:01:37,263 --> 00:01:39,641
I think I might be tryin' that
this Thanksgiving.
19
00:01:39,724 --> 00:01:41,851
I don't know if we should get jazzy
with the turkey.
20
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:43,311
Remember when we tried to fry one?
21
00:01:43,394 --> 00:01:45,146
That was a disaster, but yeah.
22
00:01:46,022 --> 00:01:49,317
I think we had an oil patch in our yard
for about six months.
23
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:53,655
But besides that, it was... inedible.
24
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:55,990
And can you make
those big ribs for Travis?
25
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:57,659
I am making
those big ribs for Travis.
26
00:01:57,742 --> 00:01:59,953
The ones he affectionately refers to
as dinosaur bones.
27
00:02:00,036 --> 00:02:04,082
Big, Texas-size ribs for a Texas-size man.
28
00:02:06,084 --> 00:02:07,127
Oh, my God.
29
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:10,046
Touring is something that really brings
my family together in a lot of ways.
30
00:02:12,674 --> 00:02:17,929
For me, part of The Eras Tour
is a celebration of my family.
31
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:22,934
{\an8}Ultimately, I just don't see
any of this happening
32
00:02:23,017 --> 00:02:24,978
if all of my family hadn't been involved.
33
00:02:25,061 --> 00:02:26,062
There's my stage crew
34
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:27,147
that's my brother.
35
00:02:28,898 --> 00:02:30,233
I mean, we work together.
36
00:02:30,316 --> 00:02:32,485
We're kind of a family business
for 20 years.
37
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:36,322
This next song is by the Dixie Chicks.
Oh, water. Yay.
38
00:02:36,406 --> 00:02:38,449
Her mom gets mad
when she doesn't drink water.
39
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:41,953
My parents didn't know anything
about the music industry,
40
00:02:42,036 --> 00:02:43,788
but they were like,
"Yeah, it's hard, yeah.
41
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:47,125
We know nothing about it right now.
We'll get some books and read."
42
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:49,627
Like, it's pretty insane.
43
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:51,921
My mom does this every night.
44
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:56,759
Draws a thirteen on,
so now, it's gonna be shiny and new.
45
00:02:57,302 --> 00:03:00,346
In an industry as cutthroat
as the music industry,
46
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:04,058
learning hard lessons
and experiencing ups and downs,
47
00:03:04,142 --> 00:03:05,977
and triumphs and failures.
48
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:08,938
It was a huge challenge
for my whole family,
49
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:13,151
but everybody was so locked in
for my whole life.
50
00:03:13,234 --> 00:03:14,652
They all banded together to be like,
51
00:03:14,736 --> 00:03:18,031
"No, she wants this.
We want this for her."
52
00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:21,951
This tour,
it's an honor to work on it.
53
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:24,579
It's a real privilege, and we know that
54
00:03:24,662 --> 00:03:28,082
'cause none of us would be doing anything
that we're really good at doing
55
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:31,252
if it wasn't for what she does,
that she's incredibly good at doing.
56
00:03:32,128 --> 00:03:37,634
It's incredible fun, but mostly it's a way
for us to be together as a family
57
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:42,096
and to sort of honor this thing
we've committed our entire lives to.
58
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:49,520
I think me and Gracie are gonna change up
the thing that we're gonna do.
59
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:52,899
But we think we wanna do
the song Us. instead of...
60
00:03:52,982 --> 00:03:56,152
'Cause we got, just got nominated
for the Grammy for Us.
61
00:03:56,236 --> 00:04:00,573
So, a few days before we played Toronto,
uh, the Grammy nominations came out.
62
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,243
We were very lucky,
we got six nominations.
63
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:07,455
And one of those
was for a song that I did with Gracie
64
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:11,042
while we were still on The Eras Tour,
a year ago.
65
00:04:13,294 --> 00:04:15,838
{\an8}Yeah.
66
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:19,801
This time, last year, she and I
went out to celebrate in between shows.
67
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:22,428
We ended up having a lot of drinks.
68
00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:23,638
Wait, what do I do about this?
69
00:04:23,721 --> 00:04:25,306
Okay, you're gonna
fire extinguish it.
70
00:04:25,390 --> 00:04:27,308
Okay, great.
I think we're gonna die.
71
00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:29,143
- Just press it.
- I don't know.
72
00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:32,313
Yeah-Yeah. Oh, my God!
73
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:35,608
What about... I'm good.
74
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:39,779
You never read up on it
Shame, could've learned somethin'
75
00:04:39,862 --> 00:04:43,408
And then we ended up writing
a song that we're really proud of.
76
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,076
How ironic
77
00:04:45,159 --> 00:04:46,452
- How I want it. How I...
- How...
78
00:04:46,536 --> 00:04:47,912
Gifts from you, how I...
79
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:50,373
And it just got nominated
for a Grammy,
80
00:04:50,456 --> 00:04:54,043
so I just thought, wouldn't it be cool
to do that song in Toronto?
81
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:57,005
Kind of create
a little, kind of, special moment,
82
00:04:57,088 --> 00:05:00,133
mash it up with one of the other songs
that the fans really love.
83
00:05:00,216 --> 00:05:02,468
She had this idea to do Us.
and Out of the Woods,
84
00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:03,761
which, like...
85
00:05:05,847 --> 00:05:11,060
Out of the Woods is in my, like,
top three favorite songs of all time.
86
00:05:11,769 --> 00:05:14,856
Hey, dude, I have a cold, so I'm just
gonna, like, briefly go through...
87
00:05:14,939 --> 00:05:17,358
So we do double chorus, like, mashup of
88
00:05:17,442 --> 00:05:20,570
Out of the Woods and Us.,
and I think it works in this key.
89
00:05:20,653 --> 00:05:23,406
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
90
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:25,700
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
91
00:05:25,783 --> 00:05:27,785
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the...
92
00:05:27,869 --> 00:05:30,455
So, right?
So, like, um, do that whole chorus
93
00:05:30,538 --> 00:05:34,125
and then we can do back-to-back bridges,
right? Like...
94
00:05:34,208 --> 00:05:35,251
Ironic
95
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:40,214
A curse or a miracle
Hearse or an oracle
96
00:05:40,298 --> 00:05:44,802
You're incomparable
Fuck, it was chemical
97
00:05:44,886 --> 00:05:51,476
You plus me was
Us
98
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:52,643
Wait for it.
99
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:56,022
But remember when you
hit the brakes too soon?
100
00:05:56,105 --> 00:05:58,107
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
101
00:05:58,191 --> 00:06:00,610
You started crying, baby, I did too
102
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:03,112
Sun came up, I was looking at you
103
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,240
Anyway, so we do
double ve... double bridges,
104
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:09,535
and then we go into, like,
a double chorus, like, mashup
105
00:06:09,619 --> 00:06:14,123
of Out of the Woods and Us.,
and it'll be so, so cool.
106
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:23,549
Uh... Then what does she do,
though? The first chorus...
107
00:06:23,633 --> 00:06:24,717
Are we i...
108
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:26,135
Are we out of the woods yet?
109
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:29,430
It's just insane. She just, like,
can do that in her sleep.
110
00:06:29,514 --> 00:06:31,474
{\an8}Where it's, like, I'm gonna chop up
111
00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:33,017
two to five songs and make them all...
112
00:06:33,101 --> 00:06:34,227
How did she mastermind that?
113
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:35,937
I don't know,
'cause she's just a mastermind.
114
00:06:37,146 --> 00:06:40,108
I need to, like, write in Sharpie
on my arm, like...
115
00:06:40,358 --> 00:06:41,484
Don't pass out.
116
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:45,321
"Don't pass out,
the structure of the song..."
117
00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:50,743
Be, like, "Me verse, me chorus,
Taylor verse, Taylor chorus.
118
00:06:51,285 --> 00:06:53,496
"Me bridge, Taylor bridge,
Taylor verse..."
119
00:06:53,579 --> 00:06:56,249
Oh, my God. Wake up.
120
00:06:56,332 --> 00:06:58,709
Catch me
projectile vomiting on the Eras stage.
121
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:15,393
Catchin' my breath
122
00:07:15,476 --> 00:07:19,480
Starin' out an open window
Catchin' my death
123
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:24,777
And I couldn't be sure
124
00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:29,699
I had a feeling so peculiar
125
00:07:29,782 --> 00:07:34,954
So that this pain would be for
Evermore
126
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:53,431
Forgive me, Peter
My lost fearless leader
127
00:07:53,514 --> 00:07:56,434
Evermore and Peter? Jesus.
128
00:07:56,517 --> 00:07:59,061
I don't, for the life of me,
understand how she does it.
129
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:04,859
I have no idea, because I couldn't do it
if my life depended on it.
130
00:08:04,942 --> 00:08:05,985
I couldn't do it.
131
00:08:08,446 --> 00:08:10,406
There wasn't a creative bone in my body.
132
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,794
It's like the background music
for, like, a horror flick.
133
00:08:24,712 --> 00:08:27,048
I agree.
134
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:33,888
- You want me to sign that now?
- Yeah.
135
00:08:33,971 --> 00:08:37,808
I was completely the opposite.
I went into business in school.
136
00:08:38,434 --> 00:08:42,647
I don't have a musical background
or play instruments,
137
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:46,234
but I do have
this sort of intimate knowledge
138
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:51,113
of the psyche of someone
who really has to do this.
139
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:56,661
Then it goes back
to my mother... Marjorie.
140
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:09,382
She was an opera singer.
141
00:09:10,007 --> 00:09:14,554
She was a music major out of college
and went straight to work.
142
00:09:14,637 --> 00:09:16,806
Live radio, performing out of New York.
143
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,726
But she married my dad, and they
started moving around the world.
144
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:26,190
So wherever they were living,
she would star in local operas.
145
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:29,694
Everywhere we went,
she was absolutely beloved.
146
00:09:33,197 --> 00:09:37,702
My sister and I were often brought along
and put in the front row, listening.
147
00:09:38,619 --> 00:09:42,373
And on the way home,
I remember she would say to me,
148
00:09:42,456 --> 00:09:47,545
"So, Andrea,
during that part of the delivery,
149
00:09:47,628 --> 00:09:49,547
did it make you wanna cry?"
150
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:54,135
And I would say, "Well, Mom, um...
151
00:09:54,218 --> 00:09:55,511
a little bit, little bi..."
152
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:58,389
You know, she was always
looking for feedback,
153
00:09:58,472 --> 00:10:02,101
- but from an eight-year-old.
- Like the... Opera.
154
00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:11,527
So I would give her what I could.
155
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:13,863
But I knew that I had a job to do
156
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:15,698
because I was gonna be quizzed
on the way home.
157
00:10:17,199 --> 00:10:20,620
It was a beautiful relationship
I had with my mom,
158
00:10:20,703 --> 00:10:26,000
but it was all with a full awareness
that my mom was this person
159
00:10:26,083 --> 00:10:30,046
who loved singing, who loved to perform,
and that people love.
160
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:36,385
{\an8}Dual pianos, we're going on the stage.
161
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:37,470
{\an8}Thank you.
162
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:40,139
{\an8}Alright. Let's go, Taylor.
163
00:10:41,098 --> 00:10:42,683
{\an8}So it began with my mother.
164
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:44,852
{\an8}Blow kissies.
165
00:10:44,935 --> 00:10:47,772
{\an8}And I think that that prepared me,
probably better
166
00:10:47,855 --> 00:10:51,108
{\an8}than anything that could have,
for having a child like Taylor...
167
00:10:53,277 --> 00:10:57,531
{\an8}who pretty much wanted to follow
in my mother's footsteps.
168
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:02,328
Taylor always knew
she wanted to perform...
169
00:11:03,954 --> 00:11:08,709
...and she was already writing
her own music without any co-writers.
170
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:11,170
This is a song I wrote yesterday.
171
00:11:11,253 --> 00:11:12,546
{\an8}I wrote this song yesterday.
172
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,632
{\an8}This is a song I wrote, like, a week ago.
173
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:16,133
It's called One-Sided Goodbye.
174
00:11:16,217 --> 00:11:17,968
This song is called Beautiful Days.
175
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:20,346
And the title's kind of self-explanatory.
So, here it goes.
176
00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:25,101
And then at 11, is when Taylor
looked at me and said,
177
00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:29,146
"We gotta go to Nashville.
Please, please take me to Nashville.
178
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:30,690
That is where Faith Hill went."
179
00:11:36,237 --> 00:11:40,866
Very quickly, I realized
this is where my past with my mother
180
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:43,411
was gonna really, really come into play.
181
00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:50,668
I think Taylor wanted to experience
something that she thought was...
182
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:54,463
I hate to say the word, but destiny.
183
00:11:55,423 --> 00:12:00,970
{\an8}I do think that at a very young age,
we tend to know where we're going in life.
184
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:04,181
{\an8}Thank you all so much.
185
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:06,267
{\an8}And it's, it's good to listen to them
186
00:12:06,350 --> 00:12:08,602
and where their dreams are
even at that age.
187
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:15,025
So we're in Toronto, in my hometown.
188
00:12:17,027 --> 00:12:18,946
{\an8}Everything that I own...
189
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:20,906
{\an8}I don't realize
'cause it's just always here.
190
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:23,701
{\an8}It's a part of the fabric
of my life,
191
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:26,412
but truly,
everything is dance-related.
192
00:12:26,495 --> 00:12:31,584
Everything is dance... This is a,
I believe, a Christmas tree ornament.
193
00:12:31,667 --> 00:12:33,210
I'm such a dance geek.
194
00:12:33,294 --> 00:12:36,589
{\an8}I think more than just loving dance,
I'm a true dance nerd.
195
00:12:36,672 --> 00:12:38,424
Yes, too much.
196
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,052
I think you have to have
a certain personality to tour.
197
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:46,474
{\an8}Truly, it's like one thing
to be a dancer or a musician,
198
00:12:46,557 --> 00:12:49,810
{\an8}but it's another thing to be able
to handle what a tour entails.
199
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:52,146
{\an8}And it's not for everybody.
200
00:12:52,897 --> 00:12:56,484
It was always for me. I did great.
I loved being on the road.
201
00:12:58,194 --> 00:13:00,988
My whole life,
it was my dream to tour like this.
202
00:13:01,071 --> 00:13:03,908
And I loved performing in the show.
203
00:13:05,242 --> 00:13:09,789
But after this tour,
my dance career is coming to an end.
204
00:13:09,872 --> 00:13:15,169
It's like that beautiful bittersweet...
I think is how, how it'll end for me.
205
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:19,548
{\an8}Everything that I saw had dance on it.
206
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:24,470
{\an8}So I knew from a young age
that this is what you wanted to do.
207
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:28,891
Before you could even write,
you drew yourself dancing.
208
00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:33,687
{\an8}And the teacher wrote,
"Amanda wants to be a dancer."
209
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:37,399
{\an8}Aw. "I like dancing because it is fun.
I dance good."
210
00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:42,780
"My mom takes me to dancing
and sometimes my dad does."
211
00:13:44,031 --> 00:13:47,618
Thanks for sometimes taking me, Dad.
Thanks for always taking me, Mom.
212
00:13:47,701 --> 00:13:48,953
You're welcome.
213
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:52,957
- Are you guys excited to come on Saturday?
- Oh, my gosh. Of course.
214
00:13:53,541 --> 00:13:56,252
I'm gonna try to, to wave to you guys
a little bit.
215
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:57,336
Yeah, yeah.
216
00:13:57,419 --> 00:13:59,463
But watch your step, though.
Don't fall.
217
00:13:59,547 --> 00:14:01,048
Okay. Thanks, Dad.
218
00:14:10,808 --> 00:14:13,686
So as we go
into these last few shows here,
219
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:16,856
I can't help but think that
this is potentially the last time
220
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:18,607
that I will ever do this
221
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:21,402
in front of my family and friends,
you know?
222
00:14:21,485 --> 00:14:24,280
But I think we all know
223
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:27,658
how rare and special
opportunities like this are.
224
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:33,747
And, Tay... you are... Oh, God.
225
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:40,129
You are
all things kindness and all things grace.
226
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:44,466
And absolutely, my life is different
from now moving forward
227
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:45,634
because of you.
228
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:47,177
So, have an incredible show.
229
00:14:47,261 --> 00:14:50,556
- You, too. We love you.
- I love you guys. Let's enjoy.
230
00:14:51,599 --> 00:14:53,142
Amanda, thank you for unretiring for us.
231
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:55,519
TAYLOR: My favorite popstar.
232
00:14:55,603 --> 00:14:56,937
AMANDA: YOU are my favorite popstar!
233
00:14:57,021 --> 00:14:58,022
Really very tired!
234
00:14:58,105 --> 00:14:59,523
Hey, let's go out there--
235
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:01,483
Fuck shit up! Fuck it up!
236
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:03,068
Up! Up! Up! Up!
237
00:15:03,152 --> 00:15:04,153
- Up! Up! Up!
- So...
238
00:15:05,654 --> 00:15:07,489
If you love like that, blood runs cold
239
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:09,700
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
240
00:15:09,783 --> 00:15:12,536
- You know it used to be mad love
- Mad love
241
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:15,289
{\an8} So take a look what you've done
242
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:16,665
{\an8} Cause, baby, now we got
243
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,751
{\an8}- Bad blood, hey
- Bad blood
244
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:21,045
- Now we got problems
- Now we got problems
245
00:15:21,128 --> 00:15:23,839
- And I don't think we can solve 'em
- And I don't think we can solve 'em
246
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:26,592
- You made a really deep cut
- You made a really deep cut
247
00:15:26,675 --> 00:15:30,095
And, baby, now we got bad blood, hey
248
00:15:41,649 --> 00:15:44,944
For Taylor, it's always
been about the audience.
249
00:15:46,862 --> 00:15:51,116
Making sure that she felt
an intimate connection with them.
250
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,828
Meeting people,
talking to them, hugging them.
251
00:15:54,912 --> 00:15:56,497
But with The Eras Tour...
252
00:15:58,207 --> 00:16:01,001
that could no longer be possible
because of COVID
253
00:16:01,085 --> 00:16:05,339
and the risk that it brought
to everybody backstage.
254
00:16:05,422 --> 00:16:08,050
That, you know,
you've got this massive production...
255
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:10,135
Having it shut down would be a disaster.
256
00:16:11,887 --> 00:16:16,642
I decided that if I couldn't meet fans
in the crowd, in the show...
257
00:16:18,852 --> 00:16:21,105
then I, I have to come up
with different ways...
258
00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:25,985
to still give people
an intimate experience.
259
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:31,073
Ethan Tobman
is a brilliant production designer.
260
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:34,785
I've been working with him...
Mainly, I started on music videos.
261
00:16:34,868 --> 00:16:37,496
This was the biggest undertaking
that we had.
262
00:16:38,455 --> 00:16:42,001
{\an8}I like to build worlds
around a storyteller.
263
00:16:42,084 --> 00:16:46,630
Their relationship with their fans,
our relationship with the songs.
264
00:16:46,714 --> 00:16:50,259
If every idea that you have
creates an emotional response,
265
00:16:50,342 --> 00:16:53,220
you are able to make people
in the last row
266
00:16:53,303 --> 00:16:54,513
feel like they're in the first row.
267
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:01,812
I wanted to make sure
that our production
268
00:17:01,895 --> 00:17:05,065
was accessible
from every part of the stadium.
269
00:17:05,149 --> 00:17:07,151
Well, these people
are all the way up here,
270
00:17:07,234 --> 00:17:09,361
{\an8}so we make the floor video.
271
00:17:09,445 --> 00:17:10,738
And a video screen on the floor,
272
00:17:10,821 --> 00:17:13,657
so now, as they look down,
they get this incredible view...
273
00:17:13,741 --> 00:17:15,743
But now, the people on the floor
can't see.
274
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:17,619
And so we're gonna get a camera
that's overhead.
275
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:20,247
We'll be able to shoot the floor
and put up on the screen.
276
00:17:21,331 --> 00:17:23,375
I mean, we have
a cinematographer for this tour,
277
00:17:23,459 --> 00:17:25,294
which we've never had before.
278
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:28,213
So many people are gonna be
watching those screens,
279
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:31,050
so we know which shots
are cooler than other shots.
280
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:46,940
And then also, I was, like,
"Do some wild card stuff, Ethan.
281
00:17:47,024 --> 00:17:49,443
I want there to be a moment where
the fans are, like, 'What just happened?'"
282
00:17:49,526 --> 00:17:53,489
And that's when he comes up with things
like me diving into the stage.
283
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:58,452
At which point I'm, like, "Ethan, that...
this... this is not gonna work.
284
00:17:58,535 --> 00:18:00,454
How? How does that even work?"
285
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:04,792
You got red lights
286
00:18:05,959 --> 00:18:07,086
until you get the green lights.
287
00:18:07,169 --> 00:18:09,171
Green lights tell you
that you're not gonna run into anything
288
00:18:09,254 --> 00:18:10,255
Oh my god.
289
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:11,548
And then you're into a bag.
290
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:13,634
I wonder
what that looks like from the top.
291
00:18:14,593 --> 00:18:17,346
We have video of me doing it,
Ethan has it.
292
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:18,430
From the top?
293
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:19,515
Yes, yeah.
294
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:21,058
- And it looks cool?
- It looks even better.
295
00:18:21,517 --> 00:18:23,519
Like, as if I'm coming back
from the piano.
296
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:26,063
I'm walking here, and I just...
297
00:18:27,147 --> 00:18:28,398
Perfect.
298
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:30,692
- Did it look good?
- Yeah.
299
00:18:30,859 --> 00:18:32,903
I love it so much. Do it again?
300
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:34,238
Yeah, if you're comfortable with it.
301
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:54,383
People scream...
302
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,847
It's happening
right in front of your eyes.
303
00:19:03,016 --> 00:19:04,977
That creates joy.
304
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,775
And that's, I think, what great shows do.
305
00:19:13,443 --> 00:19:15,070
Make adults feel like children.
306
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:23,287
What we were trying to do
with this tour...
307
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:26,748
was make it the biggest thing
we've ever done.
308
00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:33,338
But truthfully, none of it happens
without a song...
309
00:19:33,422 --> 00:19:34,965
and a person up there willing to sing it.
310
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,760
{\an8}- I love songs.
- Great.
311
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:39,845
{\an8}I love songs.
312
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:43,182
I love songs.
313
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:44,266
Okay.
314
00:19:47,978 --> 00:19:51,315
Storytelling for me
is one of the key aspects
315
00:19:51,398 --> 00:19:53,442
that makes me feel like
life is worth living.
316
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:56,153
{\an8}'Cause our song
is a slammin' screen door
317
00:19:56,236 --> 00:19:58,947
{\an8} Sneakin' out late,
tappin' on his window
318
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:00,032
{\an8}Okay.
319
00:20:00,115 --> 00:20:02,117
{\an8} When we're on the phone
and he talks real slow
320
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:04,661
{\an8}It's just, it's that important to me.
321
00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:07,414
{\an8} 'Cause it gets better than this
322
00:20:07,497 --> 00:20:12,544
{\an8} You take my hand
and drag me headfirst, fearless
323
00:20:12,628 --> 00:20:17,299
And crafting a song is just,
the happiest I ever am.
324
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:20,677
{\an8}Hi. Okay, so let's go.
325
00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:25,432
I liked it better
when you were on my side
326
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:29,561
Sorry, hold on.
327
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:31,563
I just wrote this 15 minutes ago.
328
00:20:32,022 --> 00:20:34,983
If you're in a writing session with me,
like, I'll go into my lyric space...
329
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,568
And it's just sort of, like,
330
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:38,487
just rocking back and forth
in a corner muttering...
331
00:20:41,198 --> 00:20:42,866
{\an8}- Let's take...
- Take
332
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:44,368
{\an8} Take my time
333
00:20:44,451 --> 00:20:47,996
Max Martin: What if you start over
with the same melody so it's...
334
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,081
In the middle of the ni...
335
00:20:49,164 --> 00:20:50,165
Yeah, so it starts over
336
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:51,250
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
337
00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:55,087
It's very... I've never lost
that sense of just, like...
338
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:58,590
I don't know, I...
It's, for me, it's...
339
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:02,803
It's endlessly fascinating.
I never get bored of it.
340
00:21:02,886 --> 00:21:06,640
In the middle of the night,
in my dreams
341
00:21:08,642 --> 00:21:12,562
Songwriting happens
whether I'm on tour or not.
342
00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:18,402
Because my life has just always...
been a kind of free-flowing state
343
00:21:18,485 --> 00:21:22,114
of "You live it, you feel it,
you wonder about it, you write about it."
344
00:21:25,575 --> 00:21:28,870
{\an8}I started going to Sweden
in between my shows,
345
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:33,208
{\an8}and it just felt like the most exciting
way to make a secret album.
346
00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:35,836
{\an8}It's understood,
I ain't got to knock on wood
347
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:41,216
{\an8}It would just be the three of us,
and we would write and we would record.
348
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:44,303
- Do you wanna hear the vocals? All right.
- Yes, please.
349
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:46,555
You don't have
to hold back on the violence.
350
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:48,390
Oh, so go, go more violent.
351
00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:51,393
I mean, it was
almost like you were a little...
352
00:21:51,476 --> 00:21:52,644
I think I was trying to be in tune.
353
00:21:52,728 --> 00:21:54,521
- I didn't have the click track.
- Yeah.
354
00:21:54,604 --> 00:21:55,731
I can be more violent.
355
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:58,650
- Trust me.
- All right.
356
00:21:58,734 --> 00:22:01,403
Making the album
while I was on The Eras Tour,
357
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:06,825
I was in a place in my life
where life felt so full of possibility,
358
00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:08,952
and it felt like
I was figuring things out,
359
00:22:09,036 --> 00:22:12,622
and it felt, like, so romantic
and magical, and passionate,
360
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:15,709
and I wanted to encapsulate
that feeling on this album.
361
00:22:15,792 --> 00:22:19,129
All that time
I sat alone in my tower
362
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:23,133
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all
363
00:22:23,216 --> 00:22:25,552
I can see it all
364
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:28,972
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
365
00:22:29,056 --> 00:22:32,768
Saved my heart
from the fate of Ophelia
366
00:22:32,851 --> 00:22:35,270
Ophеlia
Keep it one hundred...
367
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:38,231
{\an8}We hadn't made any music togethersince reputation,
368
00:22:38,315 --> 00:22:40,442
{\an8}which came out in 2017.
369
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:45,238
{\an8}So, going back and working
with Max and Shellback...
370
00:22:45,322 --> 00:22:46,615
Our relationship is very much the...
371
00:22:46,698 --> 00:22:49,451
I feel like they've always been mentors,
372
00:22:49,534 --> 00:22:51,119
and I've always felt like
their apprentice,
373
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:54,247
and they are so brilliant.
374
00:22:55,999 --> 00:22:59,252
- This is a tough one.
- What on Earth?
375
00:23:07,094 --> 00:23:08,970
Good job, everyone.
376
00:23:09,763 --> 00:23:10,931
Mostly dog.
377
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,060
It's really a very respectful relationship
that you would have with people
378
00:23:15,143 --> 00:23:18,355
that you, you know, they're your peers,
but you also look up to them.
379
00:23:18,438 --> 00:23:21,983
Okay, so this is
a Swedish Christmas dinner.
380
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,485
- No...
- What is this?
381
00:23:23,568 --> 00:23:25,570
This is a...
382
00:23:25,654 --> 00:23:26,738
I don't know about dinner, but...
383
00:23:26,822 --> 00:23:28,031
I mean...
384
00:23:28,115 --> 00:23:31,159
...is included. This is the...
This is the first station.
385
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:34,454
The first station
of Swedish Christmas dinner.
386
00:23:34,538 --> 00:23:35,789
So, we put nuts
387
00:23:35,872 --> 00:23:37,874
and raisins in the cup.
388
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:41,920
And then we put
the spiced wine in there.
389
00:23:43,672 --> 00:23:45,173
And it's hot, and we drink it.
390
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:46,758
- Yes.
- I'm excited.
391
00:23:46,842 --> 00:23:48,093
That's absolutely delicious.
392
00:23:49,719 --> 00:23:52,180
This is incredible.
393
00:23:54,808 --> 00:23:56,476
Merry Christmas.
394
00:23:59,896 --> 00:24:02,023
I was really ready
for that sort of challenge
395
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:03,608
to go back in with these two people
396
00:24:03,692 --> 00:24:07,487
and really try to stretch
and challenge myself
397
00:24:07,571 --> 00:24:12,367
as much as possible to make, hopefully,
the best album that I could possibly make.
398
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:13,994
Okay. And then let's go into chorus.
399
00:24:14,077 --> 00:24:15,162
I think it should be "high."
400
00:24:15,245 --> 00:24:17,706
Yeah?
401
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:19,207
- Good thing...
- Yeah. It fits, yeah.
402
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:21,042
You know what I mean? Like, so that it's,
403
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:23,420
it's got something weird and creepy
about the "high."
404
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:24,588
Yeah. Absolutely.
405
00:24:24,671 --> 00:24:26,882
Oh, I'm obsessed with this!
406
00:24:28,550 --> 00:24:29,593
Jesus!
407
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:37,976
I usually hear about new music
within five minutes of it being written.
408
00:24:38,059 --> 00:24:42,397
If anyone called me "Honey"
It was standin' in the bathroom...
409
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:47,694
That is the best thing I can possibly
think of, and also, the scariest.
410
00:24:48,236 --> 00:24:51,698
Because now I know something
that nobody else knows,
411
00:24:51,781 --> 00:24:53,200
other than the people
who are in that room,
412
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:55,535
and that's a massive responsibility.
413
00:24:55,619 --> 00:24:56,912
It's like, I don't... "No, don't send.
414
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:59,456
No, don't send it to me.
I don't want it on my phone. No, no, no."
415
00:24:59,539 --> 00:25:01,625
Or like, "I'm immortal now, baby dolls."
416
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:03,668
Like, you're still
talking to all those girls.
417
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:04,836
Right. Yeah.
418
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,090
But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
419
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:12,427
I couldn't if I tried
420
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:14,304
That. I liked that other one
421
00:25:14,387 --> 00:25:15,430
- that you went to.
- Yeah.
422
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:16,848
I couldn't
423
00:25:16,932 --> 00:25:20,977
- if I tried...
- If I tried
424
00:25:21,061 --> 00:25:22,062
You know.
425
00:25:22,145 --> 00:25:24,731
"Thank you for the lovely bouquet!"
426
00:25:24,814 --> 00:25:27,734
I think you... I think you put...
Uh, bring the beat back on "bouquet!"
427
00:25:27,817 --> 00:25:29,194
- Yeah, yeah.
- Damn it.
428
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:30,820
I just love it.
429
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:36,826
I love being hyper-detailed
and having an...
430
00:25:36,910 --> 00:25:40,997
having several overarching themes
that are woven throughout.
431
00:25:41,081 --> 00:25:44,334
And I think the fans have really gotten
432
00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:47,671
into that obsessive nature
of my storytelling, too.
433
00:25:48,338 --> 00:25:50,048
I think for a lot of people,
434
00:25:50,131 --> 00:25:52,509
they feel
such a personal connection to her,
435
00:25:52,592 --> 00:25:57,222
her deeply personal writing,
the, the drama that she's been through,
436
00:25:57,305 --> 00:26:00,100
{\an8}the heartbreak and regret
that she shared with people.
437
00:26:00,183 --> 00:26:03,853
And I think it must be meaningful to her
for that to resonate.
438
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:05,522
- Whoo!
- Yeah.
439
00:26:06,231 --> 00:26:09,651
{\an8}All right. This is gonna be
my last song for today.
440
00:26:09,734 --> 00:26:13,029
Taylor Swift is one of my favorite singers
and inspired me to sing one of her songs.
441
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:17,409
I think a lot of people
can relate to this.
442
00:26:17,492 --> 00:26:20,996
I wanted to give a compilation of lyrics
that I still have yet to recover from.
443
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:26,126
When you are young,
they assume you know nothing
444
00:26:27,961 --> 00:26:31,464
One of the things that sets her apart from
a lot of other people is how she writes.
445
00:26:37,012 --> 00:26:40,181
Bleedin'
446
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:44,686
'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the last train
447
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:48,189
Marked me like a bloodstain, I...
448
00:26:56,865 --> 00:27:00,493
I knew you
Hand under my sweater
449
00:27:00,577 --> 00:27:03,330
Baby, kiss it better, I...
450
00:27:03,413 --> 00:27:07,000
Her writing is personal and it's
vulnerable, and it's very specific.
451
00:27:07,083 --> 00:27:10,670
But in that specificity,
people see themselves.
452
00:27:10,754 --> 00:27:16,676
{\an8}'Cause there we are again
when I loved you so
453
00:27:18,094 --> 00:27:23,808
Back before you lost the one real thing
you've ever known
454
00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:26,394
I don't remember a time
existing without her music.
455
00:27:27,145 --> 00:27:30,065
Every chapter of my life
was marked by an album of hers
456
00:27:30,148 --> 00:27:31,524
that came out around the same time.
457
00:27:33,526 --> 00:27:35,695
I started writing music when I was eight.
458
00:27:35,779 --> 00:27:38,365
I remember my friends saying,
459
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:42,035
"Would you rather have
ten trillion dollars,
460
00:27:42,118 --> 00:27:43,578
or, like, write a song with Taylor Swift?"
461
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:46,164
I'm like,
"Write a song with Taylor Swift."
462
00:27:47,374 --> 00:27:49,084
Us
463
00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:52,295
Us.
464
00:27:53,588 --> 00:27:54,964
Oh, this is gonna be a fun one.
465
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:57,217
- Hello.
- Hi, hi, hi, hi.
466
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,260
Hi! Like your dress.
467
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:01,054
Thanks, man.
468
00:28:01,137 --> 00:28:02,138
How're you feeling?
469
00:28:02,222 --> 00:28:04,516
- I'm, you know, I'll get there.
- Oh, good.
470
00:28:04,599 --> 00:28:07,018
This is gonna pull me through my cold.
This is a medical thing for me.
471
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:10,480
So what I would do is,
472
00:28:10,563 --> 00:28:12,524
I'd start out by, like,
talking to them about...
473
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:17,404
how we're so excited 'cause we just got
nominated for a Grammy together.
474
00:28:18,071 --> 00:28:22,200
So, we thought, "What better than
to play a little song for you now."
475
00:28:22,283 --> 00:28:24,744
And then I'll be like,
"Gracie, come out."
476
00:28:25,912 --> 00:28:26,913
What?
477
00:28:26,996 --> 00:28:28,707
The way they fit together!?
I was like, ahh!
478
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:30,625
Oh, it's crazy. No, the double bridge
479
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,544
- is gonna send me off a cliff.
- I know!
480
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:39,134
I know you know
It felt just like a joke
481
00:28:39,217 --> 00:28:43,138
I show, you don't,
and now we're talkin'
482
00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:46,099
It still feels surreal
to be here, you know.
483
00:28:46,182 --> 00:28:49,644
She's just the easiest person
to be around. She's such a dear friend.
484
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:51,229
I fucking love her.
485
00:28:51,312 --> 00:28:55,108
And then, sometimes, I'm like,
" How is it that we're singing this song?"
486
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:58,445
For me, this is like a dream.
487
00:28:58,528 --> 00:29:01,740
Us, u...
488
00:29:01,823 --> 00:29:02,824
I'm always kinda like so smiley.
489
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:03,992
It's gonna be great.
490
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:06,327
I felt it, you held it
491
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:12,834
Do you miss us, us?
492
00:29:12,917 --> 00:29:17,464
Wonder if you regret the secret
493
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:22,218
Of us, us
494
00:29:22,302 --> 00:29:26,014
Us, us, us
495
00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:31,102
Looking at it now
It all seems so simple...
496
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:33,354
Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!
497
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:37,609
I think you'll remember
the genius, brilliant young lady
498
00:29:37,692 --> 00:29:40,236
you saw earlier tonight, Gracie Abrams.
499
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:48,870
So will you please welcome to the stage
once again Gracie Abrams!
500
00:29:56,878 --> 00:30:01,758
I know you know
It felt just like a joke
501
00:30:01,841 --> 00:30:06,763
I show, you don't,
and now we're talkin'
502
00:30:06,846 --> 00:30:11,768
There's something that happens
between friends who make music.
503
00:30:11,851 --> 00:30:14,687
It's this kind of, like, undeniable bond
that you have.
504
00:30:14,771 --> 00:30:16,397
What seemed like fate becomes
505
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:18,566
- "What the hell was I doin'?"
- "The hell was I doin'?"
506
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:21,611
With Gracie,
we've had so many special moments.
507
00:30:21,694 --> 00:30:25,573
Us, us, us, us
508
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:31,913
Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
509
00:30:34,958 --> 00:30:37,460
We were lying on your couch
510
00:30:37,544 --> 00:30:38,920
I love you, Gracie.
511
00:30:39,003 --> 00:30:41,673
You know, my opening acts on this tour
512
00:30:41,756 --> 00:30:44,300
are kids that were, like,
ten years old at my show.
513
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:47,720
And now that we're singing together, like,
514
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:51,266
you just can't believe the way
that everything's falling into place
515
00:30:51,349 --> 00:30:53,768
in the way you never could have dreamed
it would.
516
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:55,603
In the clear yet? Good
517
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:58,064
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
518
00:30:58,147 --> 00:31:00,358
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
519
00:31:00,441 --> 00:31:02,861
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
520
00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:06,114
- In the clear yet?
- In the clear yet? Good
521
00:31:11,327 --> 00:31:14,622
Toronto, give it up again
for Gracie Abrams!
522
00:31:27,343 --> 00:31:30,722
You know, I look forward
to seeing the different ways
523
00:31:30,805 --> 00:31:33,016
that the fans react from night to night.
524
00:31:33,099 --> 00:31:35,852
And you see the tears, and you see
the hugging each other,
525
00:31:35,935 --> 00:31:37,270
and it just... I love it.
526
00:31:38,187 --> 00:31:41,024
For me, personally, watching the show,
527
00:31:41,107 --> 00:31:45,528
that moment that Taylor appears,
and there she is,
528
00:31:45,612 --> 00:31:51,659
that to me is absolutely worth everything.
529
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:57,832
It makes me feel like
this was my calling in life.
530
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:01,586
Whether it was Taylor or my mom,
531
00:32:01,669 --> 00:32:04,714
it was to be around someone
who loves entertaining
532
00:32:04,797 --> 00:32:06,925
and is extraordinarily talented.
533
00:32:07,008 --> 00:32:12,555
It was just... just ditto.
It just happened all over again.
534
00:32:16,267 --> 00:32:20,146
You know, Taylor sings Marjorie,
which is dedicated to my mother.
535
00:32:20,229 --> 00:32:26,861
And, you know, we...
536
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:30,448
I knew I was gonna do it at some point.
537
00:32:30,531 --> 00:32:36,454
"A kitten's fur is soft.
Touch and feel." Touch it.
538
00:32:37,664 --> 00:32:41,459
The experiencewriting Marjorie was...
539
00:32:41,542 --> 00:32:44,212
{\an8}I was kind of a wreck
at times writing it.
540
00:32:44,295 --> 00:32:45,922
{\an8}I would sort of break down, sometimes.
541
00:32:47,006 --> 00:32:53,805
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were talking to me now
542
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:56,099
She died when I was 13,
543
00:32:56,182 --> 00:32:58,726
when I was on a trip to Nashville
to try and make it.
544
00:33:00,061 --> 00:33:04,065
So, I've always just sort of
felt like she was
545
00:33:04,148 --> 00:33:06,484
just seeing... seeing this, you know.
546
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:10,071
One of the things that still
rips me apart when I listen to it
547
00:33:10,154 --> 00:33:11,948
is that she's singing with me
on this song.
548
00:33:13,908 --> 00:33:15,410
I wrote these lyrics...
549
00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:21,666
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were singing to me now
550
00:33:24,544 --> 00:33:26,254
Then you hear her actually sing.
551
00:33:31,134 --> 00:33:33,052
It's things like that,
that just make you feel like
552
00:33:33,136 --> 00:33:35,096
your whole heart is in this whole thing.
553
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:42,103
During the tour...she does Marjorie.
554
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:45,398
And I said to her, "God, Taylor,
555
00:33:45,481 --> 00:33:47,692
I don't know
if I can make it through the tour
556
00:33:47,775 --> 00:33:52,947
crying every night when you sing
that song." It just gets me.
557
00:33:55,992 --> 00:33:57,994
It started off as something very simple.
558
00:33:59,495 --> 00:34:02,331
You know, we didn't even have lights
prepared for that song.
559
00:34:04,083 --> 00:34:08,504
We didn't know that the fans
were going to honor that song
560
00:34:08,588 --> 00:34:10,256
with the reverence that they do.
561
00:34:12,592 --> 00:34:15,094
That they were gonna hold their phones up.
562
00:34:22,268 --> 00:34:27,940
It just became a very loving tribute
to her grandmother.
563
00:34:28,024 --> 00:34:33,738
{\an8}We do Marjorie every night.
You know, I think about family.
564
00:34:33,821 --> 00:34:37,658
My dad passed away last year.
She's singing about her grandmother,
565
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:41,496
but those of us that have gone through
something similar in the recent years,
566
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:45,333
like, that's always kind of an emotional
moment in the night.
567
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:50,463
{\an8}My papa was a big part of the family,
my favorite person in the whole world.
568
00:34:50,546 --> 00:34:53,007
And he unfortunately passed.
569
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:56,636
Every single time I'm on that stage,
I definitely feel his presence,
570
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,471
especially the first night.
571
00:34:58,554 --> 00:35:01,891
Just this big rush fell over me,
and I was like, "That's my grandpa."
572
00:35:01,974 --> 00:35:08,189
{\an8}Marjorie is about Taylor's grandmother,
but it's personal to me,
573
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:11,609
{\an8}and I think that's a testament
to Taylor's writing
574
00:35:11,692 --> 00:35:15,571
because it really feels like
it's your own experience.
575
00:35:16,656 --> 00:35:20,952
The idea that you have a loss,
576
00:35:21,035 --> 00:35:24,914
and yet they are still here with us,
577
00:35:24,997 --> 00:35:28,960
is kind of what I need to cling to in...
every night.
578
00:35:30,878 --> 00:35:36,134
So, we didn't have the light
going, but it was...
579
00:35:36,217 --> 00:35:40,888
I've been performing
with Taylor for 12 years,
580
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:46,727
and truly, The Eras Tour
was a surprise to all of us.
581
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:51,107
We had had COVID, we all wanted to be
together to make music again.
582
00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:55,444
I know I very much needed to be here
to make music again.
583
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:58,072
We're back together!
584
00:35:58,739 --> 00:36:01,701
I lost my mother
September of 21.
585
00:36:01,784 --> 00:36:03,786
So, when rehearsals started,
586
00:36:03,870 --> 00:36:08,749
not only did I need music and need to be
with my band family...
587
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:15,548
I needed to heal.
588
00:36:19,427 --> 00:36:22,263
Guys...
589
00:36:22,388 --> 00:36:26,100
Music is the thing
that is the most healing to me.
590
00:36:32,106 --> 00:36:33,900
I'm like, "Don't fall."
591
00:36:34,775 --> 00:36:41,657
I, for the past few years,
have been really learning to accept
592
00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:47,246
and lean into that two different things
can be true at one time.
593
00:36:48,831 --> 00:36:53,502
And, last year, that really, uh,
smacked me in the face
594
00:36:53,586 --> 00:36:55,504
because we started this tour
595
00:36:55,588 --> 00:36:59,550
and we were all making memories
and falling in love with each other,
596
00:36:59,634 --> 00:37:03,638
and I was the happiest I had been
in some time.
597
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:10,102
And at the same time,
I was heartbroken every moment
598
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:14,690
because my mother
wasn't here to experience this joy
599
00:37:14,774 --> 00:37:18,236
and to, uh, see The Eras Tour.
600
00:37:19,987 --> 00:37:25,701
Yeah. Like, if you saw me
sobbing somewhere,
601
00:37:25,785 --> 00:37:29,664
you'd never know that I was the happiest
I had been in a while.
602
00:37:29,747 --> 00:37:33,417
And, um, if you saw my joy,
603
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:36,796
it was often that I was pretty devastated
604
00:37:36,879 --> 00:37:42,426
And so, knowing that,
I just want to, I don't know,
605
00:37:42,510 --> 00:37:45,513
give permission to feel both.
606
00:37:46,430 --> 00:37:51,519
To be here, feel what we feel,
be as present as you can
607
00:37:51,602 --> 00:37:54,397
in these next four shows.
608
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,108
Thank you to all of you.
Let's go fuck this shit up.
609
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,905
- Let's go makeup.
- Yep.
610
00:38:02,989 --> 00:38:06,033
Ooh.
611
00:38:06,117 --> 00:38:09,578
All right. All right, guys, you heard her.
Let's go out there and...
612
00:38:09,662 --> 00:38:13,499
Fuck shit up! Fuck it up, up, up,
up, up, up, up, up!
613
00:38:35,771 --> 00:38:41,986
Never be so kind,
you forget to be clever
614
00:38:45,448 --> 00:38:50,286
Never be so clever,
you forget to be kind
615
00:38:55,541 --> 00:38:58,627
And if I didn't know better
616
00:38:58,711 --> 00:39:03,299
I'd think you were talking to me now
617
00:39:05,801 --> 00:39:09,055
If I didn't know better
618
00:39:10,931 --> 00:39:13,601
I'd think you were still around
619
00:39:15,728 --> 00:39:20,733
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
620
00:39:20,816 --> 00:39:25,029
You're alive, you're alive in my head
621
00:39:25,613 --> 00:39:30,284
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
622
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:34,872
You're alive, so alive
623
00:39:34,955 --> 00:39:40,044
The autumn chill that wakes me up
You loved the amber skies so much
624
00:39:40,127 --> 00:39:41,837
Long limbs and frozen swims
625
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:44,632
You'd always go past
where our feet could touch
626
00:39:44,715 --> 00:39:47,760
And I complained the whole way there
627
00:39:47,843 --> 00:39:49,762
The car ride back and up the stairs
628
00:39:49,845 --> 00:39:56,185
I should've asked you questions
I should've asked you how to be
629
00:39:56,268 --> 00:39:58,521
Asked you to write it down for me
630
00:39:58,604 --> 00:40:01,524
Should've kept
every grocery store receipt
631
00:40:01,607 --> 00:40:05,152
'Cause every scrap of you
would be taken from me
632
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:08,697
Watched as you
signed your name Marjorie
633
00:40:08,781 --> 00:40:11,575
All your closets of backlogged dreams
634
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:14,286
And how you left them all to me
635
00:40:15,454 --> 00:40:20,584
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
636
00:40:20,668 --> 00:40:25,005
You're alive, you're alive in my head
637
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:30,636
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
638
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,639
You're alive, so alive
639
00:40:35,808 --> 00:40:38,686
And if I didn't know better
640
00:40:38,769 --> 00:40:43,149
I'd think you were singing to me now
641
00:40:45,901 --> 00:40:48,946
If I didn't know better
642
00:40:50,656 --> 00:40:53,784
I'd think you were still around
643
00:40:56,203 --> 00:40:58,164
I know better
644
00:40:58,247 --> 00:41:00,875
My mom's voice is in that song.
645
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:06,213
And she would have loved
to have seen all of this,
646
00:41:06,297 --> 00:41:08,841
and she'd be so proud and...
647
00:41:08,924 --> 00:41:12,803
I think she'd also
be really, really stoked
648
00:41:12,887 --> 00:41:14,722
that she's now singing
in the stadium every night.
649
00:42:06,023 --> 00:42:08,984
Toronto, we're, we're, uh,
we're at the very end of this tour,
650
00:42:09,068 --> 00:42:11,820
so you doing that, um, you have no idea
651
00:42:11,904 --> 00:42:16,408
how much it means to me
and to, um...
652
00:42:24,416 --> 00:42:28,003
And to my band and to my crew
and everybody who's put so much of this,
653
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:31,757
into this tour, into their... their...
I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.
654
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,176
That is... Uh, I'm just having
a bit of a moment, sorry.
655
00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:43,602
- It's not even the last show.
- Um, you know...
656
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:52,570
I love you guys.
Thank you so much for that.
657
00:43:11,130 --> 00:43:14,466
...when we go to Vancouver.
658
00:43:19,888 --> 00:43:20,889
That was insane.
659
00:43:20,973 --> 00:43:24,643
That was fun. Oh, the... It got...
I got emotional. I felt like a dumbass.
660
00:43:24,727 --> 00:43:25,728
That was the best part.
661
00:43:25,811 --> 00:43:29,398
I couldn't put words together, Austin.
That was kind of embarrassing.
662
00:43:30,357 --> 00:43:32,776
That's nice of you to say, though.
You're a very supportive person.
663
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:34,361
That was the best part of the whole thing.
664
00:43:34,445 --> 00:43:36,322
That's nice of you to say that.
665
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:37,448
It was incredible.
666
00:43:37,531 --> 00:43:38,907
You know what got me was like,
667
00:43:38,991 --> 00:43:43,329
Kamilah made this speech
before the show
668
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:45,581
where she was talking about
how her mom died.
669
00:43:45,664 --> 00:43:47,666
Like, her mom died recently.
670
00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:50,169
And she was just saying, like,
how heartbroken she is
671
00:43:50,252 --> 00:43:53,297
that her mom
never got to see The Eras Tour
672
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:55,007
and never got to see her do this.
673
00:43:55,090 --> 00:43:56,675
And I was just thinking about it
all night.
674
00:43:56,759 --> 00:43:58,636
I was th... And I kn...
You know, and I knew that.
675
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,929
We always used to, like,
make eye contact on Marjorie,
676
00:44:01,013 --> 00:44:02,723
me and Kamilah, because of her mom.
677
00:44:02,806 --> 00:44:06,143
But it put it in perspective,
like, I don't know,
678
00:44:06,226 --> 00:44:10,022
like the fact that,
that Mom did get to see it.
679
00:44:10,105 --> 00:44:14,735
And, like, Travis got to see it,
and Dad got to see it.
680
00:44:14,818 --> 00:44:19,198
And, like, I just felt so lucky,
and that's what, is like, cracked me.
681
00:44:19,281 --> 00:44:21,450
- Yeah.
- It cracked me wide open.
682
00:44:23,744 --> 00:44:26,622
{\an8}Oh, my god,
it was unreal, It was incredible.
683
00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:28,457
{\an8}It really was.
And I think you have
684
00:44:28,540 --> 00:44:30,292
every right to feel emotional because...
685
00:44:30,376 --> 00:44:31,960
It has to be hitting you honey that
686
00:44:32,044 --> 00:44:33,045
Yeah.
687
00:44:33,128 --> 00:44:34,963
this has been the dream tour of your life.
688
00:44:35,047 --> 00:44:37,383
Yeah, it has. I just never thought,
689
00:44:37,466 --> 00:44:40,010
I never thought we'd ever do
something this good.
690
00:44:40,094 --> 00:44:41,720
I mean, it's gonna be
an emotional time
691
00:44:41,804 --> 00:44:43,597
- from here on out, through the end.
- Mm-hmm.
692
00:44:43,681 --> 00:44:45,933
It's so crazy that, like,
all this has happened
693
00:44:46,016 --> 00:44:49,311
and we all got to experience it together.
We love you.
694
00:44:49,395 --> 00:44:50,813
- Love you!
- Love you, too.
