Yeah.
That is wonderful.
- She likes those higher notes. - Ooh, yes.
You know what this means?
You're gonna have to get a piano.
- What's that, Mom? - You're gonna have to get a piano.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
Yes. It's wonderful!
That's wonderful!
One, two. C stage, C. One...
That doesn't sound good at all.
Once I get a cold, I just have it for a while.
They just kind of linger.
Would you like a coffee from the world's most depressing coffee shop?
Oh, absolutely.
- What do you want? Just cold brew? - I mean, when you sell it that way, yeah.
Have you ever heard of spatchcocking a turkey?
I think I might be tryin' that this Thanksgiving.
I don't know if we should get jazzy with the turkey.
Remember when we tried to fry one?
That was a disaster, but yeah.
I think we had an oil patch in our yard for about six months.
But besides that, it was... inedible.
And can you make those big ribs for Travis?
I am making those big ribs for Travis.
The ones he affectionately refers to as dinosaur bones.
Big, Texas-size ribs for a Texas-size man.
Oh, my God.
Touring is something that really brings my family together in a lot of ways.
For me, part of The Eras Tour is a celebration of my family.
Ultimately, I just don't see any of this happening
if all of my family hadn't been involved.
There's my stage crew
that's my brother.
I mean, we work together.
We're kind of a family business for 20 years.
This next song is by the Dixie Chicks. Oh, water. Yay.
Her mom gets mad when she doesn't drink water.
My parents didn't know anything about the music industry,
but they were like, "Yeah, it's hard, yeah.
We know nothing about it right now. We'll get some books and read."
Like, it's pretty insane.
My mom does this every night.
Draws a thirteen on, so now, it's gonna be shiny and new.
In an industry as cutthroat as the music industry,
learning hard lessons and experiencing ups and downs,
and triumphs and failures.
It was a huge challenge for my whole family,
but everybody was so locked in for my whole life.
They all banded together to be like,
"No, she wants this. We want this for her."
This tour, it's an honor to work on it.
It's a real privilege, and we know that
'cause none of us would be doing anything that we're really good at doing
if it wasn't for what she does, that she's incredibly good at doing.
It's incredible fun, but mostly it's a way for us to be together as a family
and to sort of honor this thing we've committed our entire lives to.
I think me and Gracie are gonna change up the thing that we're gonna do.
But we think we wanna do the song Us. instead of...
'Cause we got, just got nominated for the Grammy for Us.
So, a few days before we played Toronto, uh, the Grammy nominations came out.
We were very lucky, we got six nominations.
And one of those was for a song that I did with Gracie
while we were still on The Eras Tour, a year ago.
Yeah.
This time, last year, she and I went out to celebrate in between shows.
We ended up having a lot of drinks.
Wait, what do I do about this?
Okay, you're gonna fire extinguish it.
Okay, great. I think we're gonna die.
- Just press it. - I don't know.
Yeah-Yeah. Oh, my God!
What about... I'm good.
You never read up on it Shame, could've learned somethin'
And then we ended up writing a song that we're really proud of.
How ironic
- How I want it. How I... - How...
Gifts from you, how I...
And it just got nominated for a Grammy,
so I just thought, wouldn't it be cool to do that song in Toronto?
Kind of create a little, kind of, special moment,
mash it up with one of the other songs that the fans really love.
She had this idea to do Us. and Out of the Woods,
which, like...
Out of the Woods is in my, like, top three favorite songs of all time.
Hey, dude, I have a cold, so I'm just gonna, like, briefly go through...
So we do double chorus, like, mashup of
Out of the Woods and Us., and I think it works in this key.
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the...
So, right? So, like, um, do that whole chorus
and then we can do back-to-back bridges, right? Like...
Ironic
A curse or a miracle Hearse or an oracle
You're incomparable Fuck, it was chemical
You plus me was Us
Wait for it.
But remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
You started crying, baby, I did too
Sun came up, I was looking at you
Anyway, so we do double ve... double bridges,
and then we go into, like, a double chorus, like, mashup
of Out of the Woods and Us., and it'll be so, so cool.
Uh... Then what does she do, though? The first chorus...
Are we i...
Are we out of the woods yet?
It's just insane. She just, like, can do that in her sleep.
Where it's, like, I'm gonna chop up
two to five songs and make them all...
How did she mastermind that?
I don't know, 'cause she's just a mastermind.
I need to, like, write in Sharpie on my arm, like...
Don't pass out.
"Don't pass out, the structure of the song..."
Be, like, "Me verse, me chorus, Taylor verse, Taylor chorus.
"Me bridge, Taylor bridge, Taylor verse..."
Oh, my God. Wake up.
Catch me projectile vomiting on the Eras stage.
Catchin' my breath
Starin' out an open window Catchin' my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
So that this pain would be for Evermore
Forgive me, Peter My lost fearless leader
Evermore and Peter? Jesus.
I don't, for the life of me, understand how she does it.
I have no idea, because I couldn't do it if my life depended on it.
I couldn't do it.
There wasn't a creative bone in my body.
It's like the background music for, like, a horror flick.
I agree.
- You want me to sign that now? - Yeah.
I was completely the opposite. I went into business in school.
I don't have a musical background or play instruments,
but I do have this sort of intimate knowledge
of the psyche of someone who really has to do this.
Then it goes back to my mother... Marjorie.
She was an opera singer.
She was a music major out of college and went straight to work.
Live radio, performing out of New York.
But she married my dad, and they started moving around the world.
So wherever they were living, she would star in local operas.
Everywhere we went, she was absolutely beloved.
My sister and I were often brought along and put in the front row, listening.
And on the way home, I remember she would say to me,
"So, Andrea, during that part of the delivery,
did it make you wanna cry?"
And I would say, "Well, Mom, um...
a little bit, little bi..."
You know, she was always looking for feedback,
- but from an eight-year-old. - Like the... Opera.
So I would give her what I could.
But I knew that I had a job to do
because I was gonna be quizzed on the way home.
It was a beautiful relationship I had with my mom,
but it was all with a full awareness that my mom was this person
who loved singing, who loved to perform, and that people love.
Dual pianos, we're going on the stage.
Thank you.
Alright. Let's go, Taylor.
So it began with my mother.
Blow kissies.
And I think that that prepared me, probably better
than anything that could have, for having a child like Taylor...
who pretty much wanted to follow in my mother's footsteps.
Taylor always knew she wanted to perform...
...and she was already writing her own music without any co-writers.
This is a song I wrote yesterday.
I wrote this song yesterday.
This is a song I wrote, like, a week ago.
It's called One-Sided Goodbye.
This song is called Beautiful Days.
And the title's kind of self-explanatory. So, here it goes.
And then at 11, is when Taylor looked at me and said,
"We gotta go to Nashville. Please, please take me to Nashville.
That is where Faith Hill went."
Very quickly, I realized this is where my past with my mother
was gonna really, really come into play.
I think Taylor wanted to experience something that she thought was...
I hate to say the word, but destiny.
I do think that at a very young age, we tend to know where we're going in life.
Thank you all so much.
And it's, it's good to listen to them
and where their dreams are even at that age.
So we're in Toronto, in my hometown.
Everything that I own...
I don't realize 'cause it's just always here.
It's a part of the fabric of my life,
but truly, everything is dance-related.
Everything is dance... This is a, I believe, a Christmas tree ornament.
I'm such a dance geek.
I think more than just loving dance, I'm a true dance nerd.
Yes, too much.
I think you have to have a certain personality to tour.
Truly, it's like one thing to be a dancer or a musician,
but it's another thing to be able to handle what a tour entails.
And it's not for everybody.
It was always for me. I did great. I loved being on the road.
My whole life, it was my dream to tour like this.
And I loved performing in the show.
But after this tour, my dance career is coming to an end.
It's like that beautiful bittersweet... I think is how, how it'll end for me.
Everything that I saw had dance on it.
So I knew from a young age that this is what you wanted to do.
Before you could even write, you drew yourself dancing.
And the teacher wrote, "Amanda wants to be a dancer."
Aw. "I like dancing because it is fun. I dance good."
"My mom takes me to dancing and sometimes my dad does."
Thanks for sometimes taking me, Dad. Thanks for always taking me, Mom.
You're welcome.
- Are you guys excited to come on Saturday? - Oh, my gosh. Of course.
I'm gonna try to, to wave to you guys a little bit.
Yeah, yeah.
But watch your step, though. Don't fall.
Okay. Thanks, Dad.
So as we go into these last few shows here,
I can't help but think that this is potentially the last time
that I will ever do this
in front of my family and friends, you know?
But I think we all know
how rare and special opportunities like this are.
And, Tay... you are... Oh, God.
You are all things kindness and all things grace.
And absolutely, my life is different from now moving forward
because of you.
So, have an incredible show.
- You, too. We love you. - I love you guys. Let's enjoy.
Amanda, thank you for unretiring for us.
TAYLOR: My favorite popstar.
AMANDA: YOU are my favorite popstar!
Really very tired!
Hey, let's go out there--
Fuck shit up! Fuck it up!
Up! Up! Up! Up!
- Up! Up! Up! - So...
If you love like that, blood runs cold
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
- You know it used to be mad love - Mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause, baby, now we got
- Bad blood, hey - Bad blood
- Now we got problems - Now we got problems
- And I don't think we can solve 'em - And I don't think we can solve 'em
- You made a really deep cut - You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood, hey
For Taylor, it's always been about the audience.
Making sure that she felt an intimate connection with them.
Meeting people, talking to them, hugging them.
But with The Eras Tour...
that could no longer be possible because of COVID
and the risk that it brought to everybody backstage.
That, you know, you've got this massive production...
Having it shut down would be a disaster.
I decided that if I couldn't meet fans in the crowd, in the show...
then I, I have to come up with different ways...
to still give people an intimate experience.
Ethan Tobman is a brilliant production designer.
I've been working with him... Mainly, I started on music videos.
This was the biggest undertaking that we had.
I like to build worlds around a storyteller.
Their relationship with their fans, our relationship with the songs.
If every idea that you have creates an emotional response,
you are able to make people in the last row
feel like they're in the first row.
I wanted to make sure that our production
was accessible from every part of the stadium.
Well, these people are all the way up here,
so we make the floor video.
And a video screen on the floor,
so now, as they look down, they get this incredible view...
But now, the people on the floor can't see.
And so we're gonna get a camera that's overhead.
We'll be able to shoot the floor and put up on the screen.
I mean, we have a cinematographer for this tour,
which we've never had before.
So many people are gonna be watching those screens,
so we know which shots are cooler than other shots.
And then also, I was, like, "Do some wild card stuff, Ethan.
I want there to be a moment where the fans are, like, 'What just happened?'"
And that's when he comes up with things like me diving into the stage.
At which point I'm, like, "Ethan, that... this... this is not gonna work.
How? How does that even work?"
You got red lights
until you get the green lights.
Green lights tell you that you're not gonna run into anything
Oh my god.
And then you're into a bag.
I wonder what that looks like from the top.
We have video of me doing it, Ethan has it.
From the top?
Yes, yeah.
- And it looks cool? - It looks even better.
Like, as if I'm coming back from the piano.
I'm walking here, and I just...
Perfect.
- Did it look good? - Yeah.
I love it so much. Do it again?
Yeah, if you're comfortable with it.
People scream...
It's happening right in front of your eyes.
That creates joy.
And that's, I think, what great shows do.
Make adults feel like children.
What we were trying to do with this tour...
was make it the biggest thing we've ever done.
But truthfully, none of it happens without a song...
and a person up there willing to sing it.
- I love songs. - Great.
I love songs.
I love songs.
Okay.
Storytelling for me is one of the key aspects
that makes me feel like life is worth living.
'Cause our song is a slammin' screen door
Sneakin' out late, tappin' on his window
Okay.
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
It's just, it's that important to me.
'Cause it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And crafting a song is just, the happiest I ever am.
Hi. Okay, so let's go.
I liked it better when you were on my side
Sorry, hold on.
I just wrote this 15 minutes ago.
If you're in a writing session with me, like, I'll go into my lyric space...
And it's just sort of, like,
just rocking back and forth in a corner muttering...
- Let's take... - Take
Take my time
Max Martin: What if you start over with the same melody so it's...
In the middle of the ni...
Yeah, so it starts over
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's very... I've never lost that sense of just, like...
I don't know, I... It's, for me, it's...
It's endlessly fascinating. I never get bored of it.
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
Songwriting happens whether I'm on tour or not.
Because my life has just always... been a kind of free-flowing state
of "You live it, you feel it, you wonder about it, you write about it."
I started going to Sweden in between my shows,
and it just felt like the most exciting way to make a secret album.
It's understood, I ain't got to knock on wood
It would just be the three of us, and we would write and we would record.
- Do you wanna hear the vocals? All right. - Yes, please.
You don't have to hold back on the violence.
Oh, so go, go more violent.
I mean, it was almost like you were a little...
I think I was trying to be in tune.
- I didn't have the click track. - Yeah.
I can be more violent.
- Trust me. - All right.
Making the album while I was on The Eras Tour,
I was in a place in my life where life felt so full of possibility,
and it felt like I was figuring things out,
and it felt, like, so romantic and magical, and passionate,
and I wanted to encapsulate that feeling on this album.
All that time I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers Now I can see it all
I can see it all
Late one night You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia
Ophะตlia Keep it one hundred...
We hadn't made any music together since reputation,
which came out in 2017.
So, going back and working with Max and Shellback...
Our relationship is very much the...
I feel like they've always been mentors,
and I've always felt like their apprentice,
and they are so brilliant.
- This is a tough one. - What on Earth?
Good job, everyone.
Mostly dog.
It's really a very respectful relationship that you would have with people
that you, you know, they're your peers, but you also look up to them.
Okay, so this is a Swedish Christmas dinner.
- No... - What is this?
This is a...
I don't know about dinner, but...
I mean...
...is included. This is the... This is the first station.
The first station of Swedish Christmas dinner.
So, we put nuts
and raisins in the cup.
And then we put the spiced wine in there.
And it's hot, and we drink it.
- Yes. - I'm excited.
That's absolutely delicious.
This is incredible.
Merry Christmas.
I was really ready for that sort of challenge
to go back in with these two people
and really try to stretch and challenge myself
as much as possible to make, hopefully, the best album that I could possibly make.
Okay. And then let's go into chorus.
I think it should be "high."
Yeah?
- Good thing... - Yeah. It fits, yeah.
You know what I mean? Like, so that it's,
it's got something weird and creepy about the "high."
Yeah. Absolutely.
Oh, I'm obsessed with this!
Jesus!
I usually hear about new music within five minutes of it being written.
If anyone called me "Honey" It was standin' in the bathroom...
That is the best thing I can possibly think of, and also, the scariest.
Because now I know something that nobody else knows,
other than the people who are in that room,
and that's a massive responsibility.
It's like, I don't... "No, don't send.
No, don't send it to me. I don't want it on my phone. No, no, no."
Or like, "I'm immortal now, baby dolls."
Like, you're still talking to all those girls.
Right. Yeah.
But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
I couldn't if I tried
That. I liked that other one
- that you went to. - Yeah.
I couldn't
- if I tried... - If I tried
You know.
"Thank you for the lovely bouquet!"
I think you... I think you put... Uh, bring the beat back on "bouquet!"
- Yeah, yeah. - Damn it.
I just love it.
I love being hyper-detailed and having an...
having several overarching themes that are woven throughout.
And I think the fans have really gotten
into that obsessive nature of my storytelling, too.
I think for a lot of people,
they feel such a personal connection to her,
her deeply personal writing, the, the drama that she's been through,
the heartbreak and regret that she shared with people.
And I think it must be meaningful to her for that to resonate.
- Whoo! - Yeah.
All right. This is gonna be my last song for today.
Taylor Swift is one of my favorite singers and inspired me to sing one of her songs.
I think a lot of people can relate to this.
I wanted to give a compilation of lyrics that I still have yet to recover from.
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
One of the things that sets her apart from a lot of other people is how she writes.
Bleedin'
'Cause I knew you Steppin' on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I...
I knew you Hand under my sweater
Baby, kiss it better, I...
Her writing is personal and it's vulnerable, and it's very specific.
But in that specificity, people see themselves.
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
I don't remember a time existing without her music.
Every chapter of my life was marked by an album of hers
that came out around the same time.
I started writing music when I was eight.
I remember my friends saying,
"Would you rather have ten trillion dollars,
or, like, write a song with Taylor Swift?"
I'm like, "Write a song with Taylor Swift."
Us
Us.
Oh, this is gonna be a fun one.
- Hello. - Hi, hi, hi, hi.
Hi! Like your dress.
Thanks, man.
How're you feeling?
- I'm, you know, I'll get there. - Oh, good.
This is gonna pull me through my cold. This is a medical thing for me.
So what I would do is,
I'd start out by, like, talking to them about...
how we're so excited 'cause we just got nominated for a Grammy together.
So, we thought, "What better than to play a little song for you now."
And then I'll be like, "Gracie, come out."
What?
The way they fit together!? I was like, ahh!
Oh, it's crazy. No, the double bridge
- is gonna send me off a cliff. - I know!
I know you know It felt just like a joke
I show, you don't, and now we're talkin'
It still feels surreal to be here, you know.
She's just the easiest person to be around. She's such a dear friend.
I fucking love her.
And then, sometimes, I'm like, " How is it that we're singing this song?"
For me, this is like a dream.
Us, u...
I'm always kinda like so smiley.
It's gonna be great.
I felt it, you held it
Do you miss us, us?
Wonder if you regret the secret
Of us, us
Us, us, us
Looking at it now It all seems so simple...
Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!
I think you'll remember the genius, brilliant young lady
you saw earlier tonight, Gracie Abrams.
So will you please welcome to the stage once again Gracie Abrams!
I know you know It felt just like a joke
I show, you don't, and now we're talkin'
There's something that happens between friends who make music.
It's this kind of, like, undeniable bond that you have.
What seemed like fate becomes
- "What the hell was I doin'?" - "The hell was I doin'?"
With Gracie, we've had so many special moments.
Us, us, us, us
Looking at it now It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I love you, Gracie.
You know, my opening acts on this tour
are kids that were, like, ten years old at my show.
And now that we're singing together, like,
you just can't believe the way that everything's falling into place
in the way you never could have dreamed it would.
In the clear yet? Good
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
- In the clear yet? - In the clear yet? Good
Toronto, give it up again for Gracie Abrams!
You know, I look forward to seeing the different ways
that the fans react from night to night.
And you see the tears, and you see the hugging each other,
and it just... I love it.
For me, personally, watching the show,
that moment that Taylor appears, and there she is,
that to me is absolutely worth everything.
It makes me feel like this was my calling in life.
Whether it was Taylor or my mom,
it was to be around someone who loves entertaining
and is extraordinarily talented.
It was just... just ditto. It just happened all over again.
You know, Taylor sings Marjorie, which is dedicated to my mother.
And, you know, we...
I knew I was gonna do it at some point.
"A kitten's fur is soft. Touch and feel." Touch it.
The experience writing Marjorie was...
I was kind of a wreck at times writing it.
I would sort of break down, sometimes.
If I didn't know better I'd think you were talking to me now
She died when I was 13,
when I was on a trip to Nashville to try and make it.
So, I've always just sort of felt like she was
just seeing... seeing this, you know.
One of the things that still rips me apart when I listen to it
is that she's singing with me on this song.
I wrote these lyrics...
And if I didn't know better I'd think you were singing to me now
Then you hear her actually sing.
It's things like that, that just make you feel like
your whole heart is in this whole thing.
During the tour... she does Marjorie.
And I said to her, "God, Taylor,
I don't know if I can make it through the tour
crying every night when you sing that song." It just gets me.
It started off as something very simple.
You know, we didn't even have lights prepared for that song.
We didn't know that the fans were going to honor that song
with the reverence that they do.
That they were gonna hold their phones up.
It just became a very loving tribute to her grandmother.
We do Marjorie every night. You know, I think about family.
My dad passed away last year. She's singing about her grandmother,
but those of us that have gone through something similar in the recent years,
like, that's always kind of an emotional moment in the night.
My papa was a big part of the family, my favorite person in the whole world.
And he unfortunately passed.
Every single time I'm on that stage, I definitely feel his presence,
especially the first night.
Just this big rush fell over me, and I was like, "That's my grandpa."
Marjorie is about Taylor's grandmother, but it's personal to me,
and I think that's a testament to Taylor's writing
because it really feels like it's your own experience.
The idea that you have a loss,
and yet they are still here with us,
is kind of what I need to cling to in... every night.
So, we didn't have the light going, but it was...
I've been performing with Taylor for 12 years,
and truly, The Eras Tour was a surprise to all of us.
We had had COVID, we all wanted to be together to make music again.
I know I very much needed to be here to make music again.
We're back together!
I lost my mother September of 21.
So, when rehearsals started,
not only did I need music and need to be with my band family...
I needed to heal.
Guys...
Music is the thing that is the most healing to me.
I'm like, "Don't fall."
I, for the past few years, have been really learning to accept
and lean into that two different things can be true at one time.
And, last year, that really, uh, smacked me in the face
because we started this tour
and we were all making memories and falling in love with each other,
and I was the happiest I had been in some time.
And at the same time, I was heartbroken every moment
because my mother wasn't here to experience this joy
and to, uh, see The Eras Tour.
Yeah. Like, if you saw me sobbing somewhere,
you'd never know that I was the happiest I had been in a while.
And, um, if you saw my joy,
it was often that I was pretty devastated
And so, knowing that, I just want to, I don't know,
give permission to feel both.
To be here, feel what we feel, be as present as you can
in these next four shows.
Thank you to all of you. Let's go fuck this shit up.
- Let's go makeup. - Yep.
Ooh.
All right. All right, guys, you heard her. Let's go out there and...
Fuck shit up! Fuck it up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Never be so kind, you forget to be clever
Never be so clever, you forget to be kind
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were talking to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
The autumn chill that wakes me up You loved the amber skies so much
Long limbs and frozen swims
You'd always go past where our feet could touch
And I complained the whole way there
The car ride back and up the stairs
I should've asked you questions I should've asked you how to be
Asked you to write it down for me
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
All your closets of backlogged dreams
And how you left them all to me
What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were singing to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
I know better
My mom's voice is in that song.
And she would have loved to have seen all of this,
and she'd be so proud and...
I think she'd also be really, really stoked
that she's now singing in the stadium every night.
Toronto, we're, we're, uh, we're at the very end of this tour,
so you doing that, um, you have no idea
how much it means to me and to, um...
And to my band and to my crew and everybody who's put so much of this,
into this tour, into their... their... I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.
That is... Uh, I'm just having a bit of a moment, sorry.
- It's not even the last show. - Um, you know...
I love you guys. Thank you so much for that.
...when we go to Vancouver.
That was insane.
That was fun. Oh, the... It got... I got emotional. I felt like a dumbass.
That was the best part.
I couldn't put words together, Austin. That was kind of embarrassing.
That's nice of you to say, though. You're a very supportive person.
That was the best part of the whole thing.
That's nice of you to say that.
It was incredible.
You know what got me was like,
Kamilah made this speech before the show
where she was talking about how her mom died.
Like, her mom died recently.
And she was just saying, like, how heartbroken she is
that her mom never got to see The Eras Tour
and never got to see her do this.
And I was just thinking about it all night.
I was th... And I kn... You know, and I knew that.
We always used to, like, make eye contact on Marjorie,
me and Kamilah, because of her mom.
But it put it in perspective, like, I don't know,
like the fact that, that Mom did get to see it.
And, like, Travis got to see it, and Dad got to see it.
And, like, I just felt so lucky, and that's what, is like, cracked me.
- Yeah. - It cracked me wide open.
Oh, my god, it was unreal, It was incredible.
It really was. And I think you have
every right to feel emotional because...
It has to be hitting you honey that
Yeah.
this has been the dream tour of your life.
Yeah, it has. I just never thought,
I never thought we'd ever do something this good.
I mean, it's gonna be an emotional time
- from here on out, through the end. - Mm-hmm.
It's so crazy that, like, all this has happened
and we all got to experience it together. We love you.
- Love you! - Love you, too.
